00:05.160 --> 00:07.240
- Tobruq Legacy is an annual exercise.

00:07.240 --> 00:08.630
It's an ad hoc exercise,

00:08.630 --> 00:10.590
this year hosted by the country of Poland.

00:10.590 --> 00:12.940
Brings together numerous nations,

00:12.940 --> 00:15.370
sensors, and shooters
from the 88 community

00:15.370 --> 00:16.490
across the alliance,

00:16.490 --> 00:17.800
and sometimes even partners.

00:17.800 --> 00:18.850
It's a great opportunity

00:18.850 --> 00:20.920
to focus on fundamentals of training.

00:20.920 --> 00:23.380
Some of the events you saw,
the live-fire exercise,

00:23.380 --> 00:25.350
and most importantly the relationship

00:25.350 --> 00:27.470
and the strength, and
building that relationship

00:27.470 --> 00:28.730
from private to general

00:28.730 --> 00:31.750
and the continued success
and working together.

00:31.750 --> 00:32.680
- I definitely do feel

00:32.680 --> 00:34.790
that the overall exercise was a success.

00:34.790 --> 00:36.890
Starting off, the beginning
we had a rough start,

00:36.890 --> 00:38.500
but leading up to the live-fire

00:38.500 --> 00:40.550
in the end, it was definitely a success.

00:40.550 --> 00:43.050
We got our nine missiles,
and got to fire them.

00:43.050 --> 00:44.490
It was definitely a great experience.

00:44.490 --> 00:46.310
- In a number of ways,
an exercise like this,

00:46.310 --> 00:47.560
this far from home station,

00:47.560 --> 00:49.530
shows that we have the
capability to deploy

00:49.530 --> 00:52.030
all of our assets in a distant location,

00:52.030 --> 00:54.826
allows us to test the tactics
and procedures that we use

00:54.826 --> 00:56.670
in unfamiliar territory.

00:56.670 --> 00:58.040
And then the fact that we're able to work

00:58.040 --> 01:00.430
with several different
nations on short notice

01:00.430 --> 01:02.570
in a very confined space, let's us know

01:02.570 --> 01:04.610
that the things that we
practice and things we train on

01:04.610 --> 01:06.720
allow us to work, not
just within our unit,

01:06.720 --> 01:08.397
but for those of us that we're
serving with side by side.

01:08.397 --> 01:10.530
And the message is that
we're training, prepared,

01:10.530 --> 01:12.540
and called on to take care of this nation

01:12.540 --> 01:14.240
and our allies. We're ready to go.
