00:00.589 --> 00:03.172
(upbeat music)

00:18.258 --> 00:21.258
(electric whirling)

00:40.998 --> 00:43.748
(dramatic music)

01:08.433 --> 01:11.210
- The acronym stands for the
MAGTF Warfighting Exercise,

01:11.210 --> 01:16.210
and really what it is, is it's
a large scale force on force

01:16.450 --> 01:19.490
exercise where we pit an adversary force

01:19.490 --> 01:23.440
against an exercise force
that really allows units

01:23.440 --> 01:26.013
to train at really the
highest levels of combat.

01:28.110 --> 01:29.440
- [Man] Coms are gonna be down,

01:29.440 --> 01:31.200
friction's gonna be abundant,

01:31.200 --> 01:33.070
but you're gonna know
at the end of the day

01:33.070 --> 01:35.720
that your marines have been put
through the hardest training

01:35.720 --> 01:36.712
in their life.

01:36.712 --> 01:39.212
(tense music)

01:56.079 --> 01:57.940
- [Roger] We started
really looking at what

01:57.940 --> 02:00.573
our potential adversaries are doing.

02:04.920 --> 02:09.082
Some of our potential
competitors have capabilities

02:09.082 --> 02:11.613
that are significant.

02:13.517 --> 02:16.100
(upbeat music)

02:32.940 --> 02:35.530
- [Man] Pilots in the air provide
that offensive air support

02:35.530 --> 02:36.440
for the guys on the ground,

02:36.440 --> 02:38.050
so that they can better do their job

02:38.050 --> 02:40.453
and locate close with
and destroy the enemy.

02:41.507 --> 02:44.590
(machine gun firing)

02:46.110 --> 02:49.540
- The compliment or the
proof of what we're doing

02:49.540 --> 02:52.417
really comes from the
people that encounter it.

02:52.417 --> 02:55.761
(machine gun firing)

02:55.761 --> 02:58.344
(upbeat music)

03:00.239 --> 03:03.156
[Man] Directing as commando forces.

03:06.090 --> 03:07.590
(machine gun firing)

03:07.590 --> 03:09.520
- [Man] Any near peer threat,

03:09.520 --> 03:11.965
they better find
somewhere else to turn it.

03:11.965 --> 03:14.548
(upbeat music)

03:30.055 --> 03:32.130
- The training I've received
here was always harder

03:32.130 --> 03:34.083
than what I faced in actual combat.
