00:00.540 --> 00:03.456
- [Francis] We as the
infantry force at 2nd MARDIV

00:03.456 --> 00:06.090
have to be able to do this all the time.

00:06.090 --> 00:07.260
I want to do it at night.

00:07.260 --> 00:09.640
I want to do it with more
supporting block fires,

00:09.640 --> 00:10.473
supporting arms.

00:10.473 --> 00:11.870
That's the level we got to get at.

00:14.170 --> 00:17.590
- Other ranges currently
facilitate us to do things

00:17.590 --> 00:19.470
up to the platoon level.

00:19.470 --> 00:21.550
This, this range Golf-36,

00:21.550 --> 00:25.100
affords us the opportunity
to sequence indirect

00:25.100 --> 00:29.470
and direct fires, reduce
obstacles, and employ

00:29.470 --> 00:32.108
rifle platoons in executing,

00:32.108 --> 00:33.360
(booming)

00:33.360 --> 00:35.831
and accomplishing the company's mission.

00:35.831 --> 00:39.145
(gunfire popping)

00:39.145 --> 00:43.260
- So the ability to codify and
understand that this company

00:43.260 --> 00:46.730
is ready to potentially deploy
or execute whatever mission

00:46.730 --> 00:50.550
that they're assigned, by
conducting this company

00:50.550 --> 00:53.520
attack range, it just
brings everything to life

00:53.520 --> 00:56.020
and every amount of training
from the individual platoon

00:56.020 --> 00:58.800
level, all the way through
platoon and company.

00:58.800 --> 01:01.750
- [Edison] The logistical
burden of picking up and heading

01:01.750 --> 01:04.740
to Twentynine Palms has
now been taken away.

01:04.740 --> 01:07.080
Furthermore, having a range
like this on Camp Lejeune,

01:07.080 --> 01:09.280
North Carolina affords
us the opportunity to get

01:09.280 --> 01:12.850
quality sets and reps
and all of those drills

01:12.850 --> 01:15.250
and the sequencing of
those drills that a company

01:15.250 --> 01:16.810
would again otherwise have to go

01:16.810 --> 01:18.823
to Twentynine Palms to execute.

01:19.870 --> 01:22.360
- Heart and soul of what
we do is what you do.

01:22.360 --> 01:23.660
Okay, the heart and soul of what we do

01:23.660 --> 01:26.090
in the Marine Corps is
what you do, all right?

01:26.090 --> 01:28.413
That weapon system nods down at night.

01:29.380 --> 01:30.263
Every one of you needs to think about,

01:30.263 --> 01:32.470
how can this be more challenging?

01:32.470 --> 01:34.370
How can we take this to the next level?

01:34.370 --> 01:36.690
Keep it safe, we do all the right things,

01:36.690 --> 01:38.140
but we've got to take
it to the next level.

01:38.140 --> 01:39.480
You started that journey for us,

01:39.480 --> 01:40.470
the 2nd Marine Division today.

01:40.470 --> 01:42.220
So I want to thank you very much.

01:42.220 --> 01:43.053
- [Infantrymen] Oo-rah.
