00:06.600 --> 00:09.014
(distant gunfire)

00:09.014 --> 00:11.550
(rock music)

00:11.550 --> 00:14.383
(emergency siren)

00:41.570 --> 00:45.820
- Sentinel Edge is a MAG-41 exercise.

00:45.820 --> 00:47.890
And this is a first time event.

00:47.890 --> 00:50.960
So, the Commanding General,
4th Marine Aircraft Wing

00:50.960 --> 00:55.940
saw a lot of value in training
together with MAG-49 in 2018.

00:55.940 --> 01:00.940
So, he directed MAG-41 to
plan and execute a combined

01:01.430 --> 01:04.050
exercise so that we could work together.

01:04.050 --> 01:07.730
Right, the success is really
born in those individual

01:07.730 --> 01:10.440
practices of, from,

01:10.440 --> 01:14.750
marines for the first
time being on fuel points,

01:14.750 --> 01:17.440
Refueling helicopters for the first time.

01:17.440 --> 01:20.290
Working in the field with their equipment

01:20.290 --> 01:23.870
from crash fire rescue to P-19s.

01:23.870 --> 01:26.980
Building roads, instead of
pushing gravel around a lot.

01:26.980 --> 01:31.560
Instead of doing something
that is not constructive,

01:31.560 --> 01:34.270
they're building and
helping the host nation,

01:34.270 --> 01:35.680
which is Canada here.

01:35.680 --> 01:38.750
The ability for us to train and fly

01:38.750 --> 01:41.010
in an environment which we're not used to

01:41.010 --> 01:43.880
forces the pilots to learn very quickly

01:43.880 --> 01:46.990
a new operational space.

01:46.990 --> 01:49.240
What are the ways to get in and out?

01:49.240 --> 01:52.130
Then we layer commanding
control on top of that.

01:52.130 --> 01:55.600
How are they successful
in operating in that?

01:55.600 --> 01:58.640
And then we step up each
day and add a threat.

01:58.640 --> 02:00.600
And then we add a mission.

02:00.600 --> 02:02.230
This is all about readiness.

02:02.230 --> 02:04.400
We need to make sure
that they are practiced,

02:04.400 --> 02:06.190
they are drilled and
they are ready to deploy.

02:06.190 --> 02:07.130
So, that they're relevant.

02:07.130 --> 02:07.963
They're ready.

02:07.963 --> 02:10.970
And then we can reinforce,
augment, and support

02:10.970 --> 02:13.030
the active component should

02:13.030 --> 02:16.563
a major combat exercise
operation is required.
