00:02.520 --> 00:03.530
- Our Alpha Battery

00:03.530 --> 00:06.350
and the first of the first
77 filler to the regiment,

00:06.350 --> 00:08.520
is actually able to
have high Mars and 270s.

00:08.520 --> 00:10.650
So what that allows us lethality

00:10.650 --> 00:13.020
was we're able to provide both the tracks

00:13.020 --> 00:14.240
and the wheel variant

00:14.240 --> 00:16.200
which allows us to get like we did today,

00:16.200 --> 00:17.120
perform a high rain

00:17.120 --> 00:19.080
which is the high Mars rapid infiltration,

00:19.080 --> 00:23.150
which allows us to load up
into a C 17, C 130 or C five

00:23.150 --> 00:25.460
and go anywhere in the world
and provide these timely fires

00:25.460 --> 00:26.960
that we were able to do today.

00:28.760 --> 00:30.520
- Our role is essentially
the truck driver.

00:30.520 --> 00:32.140
We get tasked with pretty much random,

00:32.140 --> 00:34.310
obviously this one's
supporting rapid Falcon,

00:34.310 --> 00:36.990
so with the high Mars
movement here to work

00:36.990 --> 00:39.540
in close proximity with
the Romanians and then head

00:39.540 --> 00:42.163
towards the black sea for
the live fire exercise.

00:43.810 --> 00:46.710
As far as the tactical
element, the fact that

00:46.710 --> 00:48.980
we're able to move something this lethal

00:48.980 --> 00:51.760
as a high mark system,
within a matter of hours,

00:51.760 --> 00:52.970
I mean to put it in perspective,

00:52.970 --> 00:54.040
three hours ago you were talking

00:54.040 --> 00:56.580
about a system that was
a thousand miles away

00:56.580 --> 01:00.100
and now us and the
aircraft arriving now are

01:00.100 --> 01:04.800
able to put advanced weapon
systems, another 50 miles away.

01:04.800 --> 01:06.270
That's fairly, fairly unique.

01:06.270 --> 01:08.710
So that rapid response capability, I mean

01:09.910 --> 01:12.303
I guess you could say the
world's ever shrinking.

01:14.012 --> 01:15.110
- This is the first mission

01:15.110 --> 01:17.690
that our unit has really
gotten since standing up,

01:17.690 --> 01:19.950
and it's been a load of work,

01:19.950 --> 01:21.220
it's been a lot of late nights,

01:21.220 --> 01:24.520
a lot of coming in on our
weekends and (mumbles)

01:24.520 --> 01:26.230
but all in all once this is over,

01:26.230 --> 01:27.370
I'm going to be very proud.

01:27.370 --> 01:30.200
I am very proud of me, my team, the unit.

01:30.200 --> 01:31.785
So I feel very lucky.

01:31.785 --> 01:34.285
(explosions)
