WEBVTT 00:00.940 --> 00:02.996 the objectives of swift responses to 00:02.996 --> 00:05.550 make sure that the alliance can very 00:05.550 --> 00:08.730 rapidly mass whatever force is required 00:08.730 --> 00:11.470 to defend any other NATO ally . And I 00:11.470 --> 00:13.526 think we've been able to demonstrate 00:13.526 --> 00:15.637 that with the integration of both the 00:15.637 --> 00:18.200 United Kingdom forces , Estonian forces 00:18.200 --> 00:20.311 here in Estonia at the tactical level 00:20.311 --> 00:22.450 and then also down to Romania at the 00:22.460 --> 00:24.650 division level of integrating in over 00:24.650 --> 00:27.290 14 different nations . Again to show 00:27.290 --> 00:29.457 that resolve and capability across the 00:29.457 --> 00:31.457 entire Atlantic resolve footprint . 00:32.740 --> 00:34.800 Well the first thing is all these 00:34.800 --> 00:37.022 relationships have been built over many 00:37.022 --> 00:39.390 years now . Um and you can see that we 00:39.390 --> 00:41.700 all we all know each other , we all 00:41.710 --> 00:43.860 understand how each other thinks and 00:43.860 --> 00:45.916 now it's just about making sure that 00:45.916 --> 00:48.082 from the tactical up to in my case the 00:48.082 --> 00:50.110 division level we have true 00:50.110 --> 00:52.350 interoperability so that if required we 00:52.350 --> 00:55.500 could very fast and efficiently defend 00:55.510 --> 00:58.790 and execute operations . A joint 00:58.790 --> 01:00.930 forcible entry is an operation that 01:00.930 --> 01:04.180 penetrates an enemy defensive area . It 01:04.190 --> 01:06.023 doesn't have to be just airborne 01:06.023 --> 01:08.246 assault . It can also be by rotary wing 01:08.246 --> 01:11.300 or other means , but it's really about 01:11.310 --> 01:13.480 understanding your adversary and 01:13.480 --> 01:15.480 setting the conditions that you can 01:15.480 --> 01:17.450 deliver that force to give either 01:17.450 --> 01:19.561 change the geometry , the pace or the 01:19.561 --> 01:22.730 speed and give a dilemma to or any 01:22.730 --> 01:25.650 adversary . So just that this portion 01:25.650 --> 01:27.817 of swift response , uh , we dropped in 01:27.817 --> 01:30.750 a little over 600 paratroopers , but 01:30.750 --> 01:32.861 most importantly , we brought with us 01:32.861 --> 01:35.550 the capability uh , two to defend 01:35.550 --> 01:37.883 against any adversary that is out there . 01:37.883 --> 01:39.883 So there's very unique capabilities 01:39.940 --> 01:41.884 that only an airborne division can 01:41.884 --> 01:44.100 bring . We were able to very rapidly 01:44.540 --> 01:46.960 get down to the ground and put into the 01:46.960 --> 01:48.260 fight very quickly . 01:51.640 --> 01:53.751 About a month prior to this , we have 01:53.751 --> 01:55.529 team live fire going on and the 01:55.529 --> 01:59.130 visitors up squad live fire in this 01:59.130 --> 02:01.074 kind of event as well , but that's 02:01.074 --> 02:03.720 dependent on the leg . Yes . So we've 02:03.730 --> 02:06.160 been a , from twice with the americans 02:06.160 --> 02:08.810 already . It's been pretty good . Uh , 02:08.820 --> 02:10.820 quite good . London's symbolize has 02:10.820 --> 02:13.540 been , uh , you know , that's the risk . 02:13.540 --> 02:16.540 You say jumping out or yeah , we've 02:16.550 --> 02:19.390 done good back in , uh , back in the 02:19.390 --> 02:21.501 camp to be able to prepare for this . 02:21.501 --> 02:23.612 So I'll see , you know , we're here . 02:23.612 --> 02:25.779 So we're looking for the next , it was 02:25.779 --> 02:28.330 soft , hard , soft for me at least 02:28.480 --> 02:31.910 excited , excited . It's a long flight . 02:32.440 --> 02:35.320 A lot of us is the first time kind of 02:35.330 --> 02:37.630 flying out that distance jumping out . 02:37.870 --> 02:40.520 We've got like it as well , but because 02:40.530 --> 02:43.970 it's good , had a great time . Oh yeah , 02:45.540 --> 02:47.596 it's always great when you're out of 02:47.596 --> 02:49.596 the plane and the plane is a little 02:49.596 --> 02:51.873 uncomfortable once you're out the door , 02:51.873 --> 02:53.929 the adrenaline's pumping is always a 02:53.929 --> 02:55.984 good time . Yeah , I mean you've got 02:55.984 --> 02:58.262 all that weight on your , on your back , 02:58.262 --> 03:00.207 on your , from as soon as you go , 03:00.207 --> 03:02.540 you're weightless . You just , you know , 03:02.540 --> 03:04.818 checking around soon to hit the ground , 03:04.818 --> 03:06.929 get your stuff together , you go . So 03:06.929 --> 03:09.510 yeah , got to be all , it's definitely 03:09.510 --> 03:11.454 once in a lifetime opportunity . I 03:11.454 --> 03:13.454 appreciate it . I'm not going to be 03:13.454 --> 03:16.140 better be good . Most of us started 03:16.150 --> 03:18.206 first time out of country , so we're 03:18.206 --> 03:20.483 going to get to work with the American , 03:20.483 --> 03:22.594 especially given our history , it was 03:22.594 --> 03:24.483 gonna be 82nd special arrangement 03:24.483 --> 03:26.539 yourself . So it's good to advertise 03:26.539 --> 03:29.140 people as close as they were making 03:29.180 --> 03:32.460 five years ago . We didn't their 03:32.460 --> 03:32.990 experience .
