00:05.410 --> 00:06.714
- Hello, my name is Brian Burgess,

00:06.714 --> 00:08.070
I'm a lieutenant commander

00:08.070 --> 00:09.854
in the United States Navy Reserve.

00:09.854 --> 00:12.960
To me Sea Breeze is really an opportunity

00:12.960 --> 00:16.992
that we can work with our
partners and allies in the region,

00:16.992 --> 00:20.190
to establish the
relationships that we'll need

00:20.190 --> 00:23.140
and to practice things
like interoperability

00:23.140 --> 00:24.191
and communications,

00:24.191 --> 00:26.560
before we really needed it,

00:26.560 --> 00:28.040
in a time of conflict.

00:28.040 --> 00:30.562
To have those relationships established,

00:30.562 --> 00:32.490
now is the time to do that.

00:32.490 --> 00:33.490
I think there's lots of lessons

00:33.490 --> 00:34.949
to be taken from this exercise,

00:34.949 --> 00:38.520
especially in the environment
that we're in with COVID-19,

00:38.520 --> 00:40.780
we're gonna have a lot of
challenges moving forward

00:40.780 --> 00:43.910
with how we interact with ourselves

00:43.910 --> 00:45.305
and how we interact with our partners,

00:45.305 --> 00:47.366
and being able to practice that now

00:47.366 --> 00:48.916
is hardly practice,

00:48.916 --> 00:51.410
we're doing this in the real world,

00:51.410 --> 00:53.590
and I think we're gonna be
in this kind of environment

00:53.590 --> 00:54.870
for some time to come.

00:54.870 --> 00:55.920
So to be able to practice

00:55.920 --> 00:57.856
the way that we will
actually fight in the future,

00:57.856 --> 01:01.799
is an incredibly valuable
thing to be able to do.
