(distorted radio broadcast)

00:39.472 --> 00:42.555
(computer keys type)

00:51.960 --> 00:54.050
- [Narrator] Here at
MWX on the sub corridor

00:54.050 --> 00:56.523
for the range 220's for the urban fight.

00:58.120 --> 00:59.790
As the sub corridors to help manage

00:59.790 --> 01:03.360
and control the urban adjudication
fight which is down here.

01:03.360 --> 01:04.470
My specific role for that

01:04.470 --> 01:07.424
is again managing the shifting
of coyotes to cover down.

01:07.424 --> 01:10.140
I make sure they're at
the point of friction

01:10.140 --> 01:11.500
where the tactical action is happening,

01:11.500 --> 01:14.633
so they can capture, coach
and adjudicate as necessary.

01:19.940 --> 01:21.400
This exercise of coyotes

01:21.400 --> 01:24.470
you have that non biased
referee out there essentially.

01:24.470 --> 01:25.780
So the teach, coach, and mentor

01:25.780 --> 01:27.450
portion of this kinda goes away.

01:27.450 --> 01:29.060
To where if we see something,

01:29.060 --> 01:31.385
that's running into a
complete friction point

01:31.385 --> 01:32.463
We have that coyote out there,

01:32.463 --> 01:34.400
that may help them out a little bit.

01:34.400 --> 01:36.050
But the main point is to capture,

01:36.050 --> 01:38.246
the tactical actions, and adjudicate,

01:38.246 --> 01:40.410
when the fight's going on for that.

01:40.410 --> 01:42.460
So the non biased pieces,

01:42.460 --> 01:43.880
they're not for one side or the other.

01:43.880 --> 01:45.720
You're just there to capture

01:45.720 --> 01:47.100
the best practices and actions

01:47.100 --> 01:48.600
that we've seen, good and bad.

01:55.416 --> 01:58.160
- [Announcer] MWX is fighting a near peer,

01:58.160 --> 02:00.690
and it's two battalions plus

02:00.690 --> 02:04.560
so they have mac and air
assets against one battalion.

02:04.560 --> 02:07.000
That one battalion, will
start off on the defense.

02:07.000 --> 02:09.310
The other two, will
start off on the offense.

02:09.310 --> 02:12.110
And they will try and take
key terrain objectives,

02:12.110 --> 02:13.790
and you'll have coyotes out there,

02:13.790 --> 02:15.343
assessing the battlefield.

02:22.190 --> 02:23.920
We need to start being prepared,

02:23.920 --> 02:25.290
for a fight against someone

02:25.290 --> 02:26.953
who has the same assets as we do.

- [Soldier] Echo
company's roll originally,

02:48.330 --> 02:51.650
moving into this exercise
was getting a foothold

02:51.650 --> 02:55.330
in the industrial complex of range 220,

02:55.330 --> 02:58.483
in order to set conditions
for following operations.

03:01.113 --> 03:06.113
(multiple soldier talk)
(distorted radio signal)

03:06.670 --> 03:08.220
- [Soldier] So it played out,

03:08.220 --> 03:10.140
pretty much as planned leading up to it.

03:10.140 --> 03:12.460
We left our assembly area,

03:12.460 --> 03:15.610
we're motorized, we moved
up to our sole position.

03:15.610 --> 03:16.950
For our sole position,

03:16.950 --> 03:20.510
we waited for adjacent
companies to be in place.

03:20.510 --> 03:22.340
From there we moved up,

03:22.340 --> 03:24.146
and we started gaining that foothold

03:24.146 --> 03:26.408
into the industrial complex.

03:26.408 --> 03:30.331

(helicopter propellor)
- [Narrator] Scenarios,

03:31.164 --> 03:34.020
that they face are, your
traditional open ground fights.

03:34.020 --> 03:35.930
Movement to contact,
coming through open ground

03:35.930 --> 03:37.460
to close within an objective.

03:37.460 --> 03:39.360
And then they get into
the different levels

03:39.360 --> 03:40.940
of information operations.

03:40.940 --> 03:42.210
You got the EW spectrum,

03:42.210 --> 03:44.180
everything that we integrate
on the current threats

03:44.180 --> 03:45.013
that are in up there.

03:45.013 --> 03:46.250
All the way to where,

03:46.250 --> 03:48.920
you'd get range 220 there where
they go into the urban fight

03:48.920 --> 03:50.970
and they have to deal with local populous

03:50.970 --> 03:52.659
as well a pacing threat force

03:52.659 --> 03:55.560
that is also integrated
within that populous.

04:08.459 --> 04:11.542
(computer keys type)

04:19.630 --> 04:22.080
- [Narrator] They get to
practice their techniques

04:22.080 --> 04:23.600
without a scripted environment.

04:23.600 --> 04:25.980
So rather than hey
targets up targets down,

04:25.980 --> 04:27.970
they gotta another
thinking element out there

04:27.970 --> 04:29.240
that's actually trying to attack them.

04:29.240 --> 04:30.600
So they got a sparing partner,

04:30.600 --> 04:32.450
they can practice their tactics with.

04:33.608 --> 04:36.941
(soldier giving orders)

04:42.140 --> 04:43.560
- [Narrator] It really
tests your knowledge

04:43.560 --> 04:45.620
of everything you've gone
through as far as training,

04:45.620 --> 04:47.150
and see where your guys are at,

04:47.150 --> 04:50.453
and trying to keep them
focused on making it realistic.

04:56.292 --> 04:59.209
(machine gun fire)

05:05.470 --> 05:06.303
- [Soldier] Definitely,

05:06.303 --> 05:08.180
I mean that probably one of
the greatest parts excercise

05:08.180 --> 05:11.400
is just the realism of the
enemy always has a say.

05:11.400 --> 05:13.750
If they attack your logistical assets,

05:13.750 --> 05:14.770
you make do with what you have

05:14.770 --> 05:16.713
and you still accomplish the mission.

05:19.656 --> 05:22.323
(intense music)

05:24.777 --> 05:27.444
(rapid gunfire)

05:50.960 --> 05:52.660
- [Narrator] I've had the same mentality

05:52.660 --> 05:53.880
and our guys have done good,

05:53.880 --> 05:56.070
and so far, we're one of the few

05:56.070 --> 05:57.823
remaining, surviving platoons.
