WEBVTT 00:00.040 --> 00:01.040 mm . 00:08.640 --> 00:11.570 Mhm . If our soldiers were to deploy 00:11.580 --> 00:14.490 tomorrow to an area where a jungle 00:14.490 --> 00:17.570 environment is pertinent then the only 00:17.570 --> 00:19.792 training that they have is gonna be our 00:19.792 --> 00:21.903 jungle school . They're gonna be able 00:21.903 --> 00:24.126 to rely on what they know and take that 00:24.126 --> 00:26.292 forward and be able to survive . Fight 00:26.292 --> 00:28.014 and win in the jungle . So the 00:28.014 --> 00:27.620 different phases of the candidates go 00:27.620 --> 00:29.620 through the training start off with 00:29.620 --> 00:31.787 crawl walk run phase . The crawl phase 00:31.787 --> 00:33.842 is going to be your introduction not 00:33.842 --> 00:36.009 the combat water survival assessment . 00:36.009 --> 00:38.009 They do the jungle five K . They do 00:38.009 --> 00:37.520 their land navigation basically 00:37.520 --> 00:39.742 practical skills that show us that they 00:39.742 --> 00:41.576 can get through the harder stuff 00:41.576 --> 00:43.576 throughout the course , making sure 00:43.576 --> 00:42.640 that they're not gonna drown in the 00:42.640 --> 00:44.807 water that they are in shape enough to 00:44.807 --> 00:46.918 be able to rock . And then we kind of 00:46.918 --> 00:49.140 transition over to the survival phase . 00:49.140 --> 00:51.251 We're talking about track and we dive 00:51.251 --> 00:53.251 deep into mani combat tracking . We 00:53.251 --> 00:55.307 dive deep into waterborne operations 00:55.307 --> 00:57.251 and then the survival classes . So 00:57.251 --> 00:59.418 after survival classes , then they get 00:59.418 --> 01:01.473 a survival practical exercise for an 01:01.473 --> 01:03.418 extended period of time . And then 01:03.418 --> 01:05.529 that's kind of the second phase . And 01:05.529 --> 01:04.830 the third phase , of course , is where 01:04.830 --> 01:06.997 we tie everything together and they go 01:06.997 --> 01:09.108 out to the jungle and they do a three 01:09.108 --> 01:11.274 day culminating exercise that finishes 01:11.274 --> 01:13.386 with the Green Mile and that's moving 01:13.386 --> 01:15.441 Through Gulch is through up and down 01:15.441 --> 01:17.608 ridgelines , through the water , tying 01:17.608 --> 01:19.830 in rope systems . They cover roughly 30 01:19.830 --> 01:19.440 miles in the three days throughout the 01:19.440 --> 01:21.780 jungle . In my opinion , the most 01:21.780 --> 01:23.891 important aspect of Jungle Operations 01:23.891 --> 01:25.558 training course as far as the 01:25.558 --> 01:27.613 instruction goes and what the course 01:27.613 --> 01:29.558 provides is the students having to 01:29.558 --> 01:31.669 endure the conditions that are , that 01:31.669 --> 01:34.002 the junk provide them their underweight , 01:34.002 --> 01:36.113 they're wet , they're not comfortable 01:36.113 --> 01:38.113 and they are moving through terrain 01:38.113 --> 01:40.336 that they've never encountered in their 01:40.336 --> 01:39.760 life no matter where they've been 01:39.840 --> 01:41.784 station that before or potentially 01:41.784 --> 01:44.220 played out before and so it opens their 01:44.220 --> 01:46.390 eyes as to how slaves to move from 01:46.390 --> 01:48.612 place to place and the amount of effort 01:48.612 --> 01:50.779 that it takes to get to where you want 01:50.779 --> 01:52.668 to go . Mhm . This course is very 01:52.668 --> 01:54.890 important as a force multiplier because 01:54.890 --> 01:56.890 the more general qualified students 01:56.890 --> 01:59.223 that we have or soldiers or airmen or D . 01:59.223 --> 02:01.279 O . D . Personnel wide that can come 02:01.279 --> 02:03.334 through here , the more experts that 02:03.334 --> 02:05.557 those commanders and senior leaders are 02:05.557 --> 02:05.340 going to have when we go take the fight 02:05.340 --> 02:07.850 to the enemy in a jungle environment if 02:07.850 --> 02:08.860 that day arises .
