00:00.404 --> 00:03.154
(dramatic music)

00:05.280 --> 00:07.891
- Hey Marines, Lance Corporal
Fernando Moreno here.

00:07.891 --> 00:10.740
Whether it's on air, land or sea, Marines

00:10.740 --> 00:13.410
are always training to be
the first to fight and win.

00:13.410 --> 00:14.430
Recently Marines

00:14.430 --> 00:16.920
with 3rd Reconnaissance
Battalion, 3rd Marine Division

00:16.920 --> 00:19.270
carried out parachute
operations in which they jumped

00:19.270 --> 00:23.210
from KC-130s and UH-1N
Huey's over Hiroshima, Japan.

00:23.210 --> 00:25.780
Captain Kai Ingram had this
to say about the training.

00:25.780 --> 00:28.010
- So the reason why we do this training

00:28.010 --> 00:30.930
or the reason why we sustain
is parachute instructions

00:30.930 --> 00:34.220
are used by reconnaissance
Marines to insert recon elements

00:34.220 --> 00:36.710
behind enemy lines, so
low-level static line

00:36.710 --> 00:39.550
you can use to insert a
mass of individuals quickly

00:39.550 --> 00:42.790
into one location and you can
push the altitudes up higher

00:42.790 --> 00:45.840
with military free fall and
that's to clandestinely insert

00:45.840 --> 00:49.060
recon elements from greater
altitudes and greater offsets

00:49.060 --> 00:50.980
in the unmarked drop zones.

00:50.980 --> 00:52.810
- [Lance] The U.S.
military training conducted

00:52.810 --> 00:55.190
in the Indo-Pacific area
also provides security

00:55.190 --> 00:56.910
to the region to include our allies.

00:56.910 --> 00:58.410
And that's your Marine Minute.
