00:00.287 --> 00:02.704
(rock music)

00:06.340 --> 00:09.860
- So it's a test of the tactical
readiness of the formation

00:09.860 --> 00:12.080
to be able to alert and deploy,

00:12.080 --> 00:15.100
but it's also a strategic level test

00:15.100 --> 00:18.050
of our ability to take a formation,

00:18.050 --> 00:20.640
load its equipment,
move it a long distance,

00:20.640 --> 00:22.085
and then bring it in, receive it,

00:22.085 --> 00:24.670
and then join it back
up with that formation

00:24.670 --> 00:25.820
so it's ready to fight.

00:28.880 --> 00:33.470
- And the ability the Joint
Task Force Port Opening

00:33.470 --> 00:35.460
provides is that no-notice

00:35.460 --> 00:38.500
to go and open up a
port anywhere worldwide

00:38.500 --> 00:40.330
so that we can receive that equipment

00:40.330 --> 00:41.980
and then hand it off to the customer

00:41.980 --> 00:43.030
at the speed of warp.

00:45.040 --> 00:48.300
- We executed a Joint Logistics
Over-the-Shore operation

00:48.300 --> 00:50.340
by taking equipment from the Cape Rise,

00:50.340 --> 00:53.880
downloading it onto a
roll-on/roll-off discharge facility,

00:53.880 --> 00:56.920
and then providing onward
movement onto the Army's LCUs,

00:56.920 --> 00:59.340
which stands for Landing Craft Utility.

00:59.340 --> 01:01.140
They would then in turn take the equipment

01:01.140 --> 01:03.460
onto the LCUs and then
provide onward movement

01:03.460 --> 01:04.617
to a beach site,

01:04.617 --> 01:07.393
where the LCUs would then
in turn hit the beach,

01:09.270 --> 01:10.340
download the equipment

01:10.340 --> 01:12.060
from our inland cargo transfer company,

01:12.060 --> 01:13.470
and then provide onward movement

01:13.470 --> 01:14.943
to Camp Shelby, Mississippi.

01:17.940 --> 01:22.410
- The port here at Gulfport in Pascagoula

01:22.410 --> 01:24.780
has really allowed us to exercise

01:24.780 --> 01:27.760
that capability in multiple formats.

01:27.760 --> 01:30.520
In training the Joint
Team to be able to conduct

01:30.520 --> 01:32.849
this level of strategic readiness.

01:32.849 --> 01:35.266
