00:00.484 --> 00:02.037
(radio chatter)

00:02.037 --> 00:04.954
(angry rock music)

00:06.300 --> 00:08.760
- So the training we've conducted out here

00:08.760 --> 00:13.760
at MCTAB has been patrolling,
ECP/VCPs, vehicle searches,

00:14.560 --> 00:17.850
and onload offload drills
with the V22 Ospreys.

00:17.850 --> 00:20.430
And 2nd Platoon with
Combat Assault Company

00:20.430 --> 00:22.593
is the ones out here
conducting that training.

00:24.310 --> 00:25.883
So from the very beginning,

00:26.740 --> 00:30.920
setting that tempo of constant
24 working environment,

00:30.920 --> 00:32.660
24/7 working environment,

00:32.660 --> 00:35.230
along with hostiles within the area.

00:35.230 --> 00:36.630
So they always have to be on the alert

00:36.630 --> 00:37.890
and be on their guard.

00:37.890 --> 00:38.750
And it started like that,

00:38.750 --> 00:40.120
and then it continued throughout

00:40.120 --> 00:41.670
and by the end of the training,

00:41.670 --> 00:44.990
is they know how to
actively engage the enemy,

00:44.990 --> 00:47.260
but also the friendly populous-

00:47.260 --> 00:49.590
how to coordinate and work with them

00:49.590 --> 00:51.487
without thinking everyone
is a hostile enemy.

00:51.487 --> 00:54.043
(angry rock music)

00:54.043 --> 00:56.210
(gunfire)

01:02.045 --> 01:04.660
Some of the challenges
that took place today here

01:04.660 --> 01:09.660
is the communication
when the squad leader,

01:09.710 --> 01:10.910
say he gets injured,

01:10.910 --> 01:13.180
or he's tasked out doing something else,

01:13.180 --> 01:15.150
the challenge is that these other Marines

01:15.150 --> 01:16.980
that are around him, they know what to do.

01:16.980 --> 01:18.020
So they know the game plan,

01:18.020 --> 01:19.990
they know how to if he gets hit,

01:19.990 --> 01:21.264
or she gets hurt,

01:21.264 --> 01:23.190
they instantly fill in that roll

01:23.190 --> 01:25.626
and start task organizing
what needs to be done.

01:25.626 --> 01:28.330
At the ECP, they're getting overran.

01:28.330 --> 01:29.240
People were getting hit.

01:29.240 --> 01:31.130
If a Lance Corporal or a Corporal

01:31.130 --> 01:33.570
has to take charge and
delegate who does what,

01:33.570 --> 01:35.250
that's some of the challenges
that they've seen here.

01:35.250 --> 01:37.460
And then again, the local populous,

01:37.460 --> 01:38.970
not enemies, just friendly,

01:38.970 --> 01:41.730
but interacting with them
and having to deal with that

01:41.730 --> 01:45.214
as they're getting fired on
from the tree lines and stuff.

01:45.214 --> 01:46.995
(angry rock music)

01:46.995 --> 01:49.100
(gunfire)

01:49.100 --> 01:51.060
What's unique about Combat Assault Company

01:51.060 --> 01:53.567
and what it specifically it provides

01:53.567 --> 01:57.750
is our company supports the whole regiment

01:57.750 --> 01:59.020
and supporting the whole regiment

01:59.020 --> 02:01.964
with this company of Marines
is a very hard thing to do,

02:01.964 --> 02:05.358
so having a platoon of 45 Marines

02:05.358 --> 02:08.110
be able to support a whole battalion

02:08.110 --> 02:10.250
and bring those engineering
capabilities to them

02:10.250 --> 02:13.320
but also the infantry tactics
that we learn as well,

02:13.320 --> 02:15.710
that's our specialties
that we bring to help.

02:15.710 --> 02:16.990
It just gives the infantry units

02:16.990 --> 02:18.470
a little bit more fire power

02:18.470 --> 02:20.310
and capabilities on their end.

02:20.310 --> 02:22.982
Its just the ground 03 side of things.

02:22.982 --> 02:24.947
(helicopter blades chopping)

02:24.947 --> 02:27.864
