WEBVTT

00:00.240 --> 00:02.720
uh So my name is Captain Jeremiah

00:02.720 --> 00:04.831
Dennis . Uh And the company commander

00:04.831 --> 00:06.720
for Company C . First Battalion ,

00:06.720 --> 00:08.942
Seventh Marines . Uh Part of the ground

00:08.942 --> 00:10.942
combat element of marine rotational

00:10.942 --> 00:14.860
force Darwin 21.2 . Um I'm from Fort

00:14.860 --> 00:18.000
Worth texas . Uh Jeremiah Dennis , J .

00:18.010 --> 00:21.790
E R E M I A H . Dennis

00:21.800 --> 00:24.560
D E N N . I . S . So this is in

00:24.560 --> 00:27.780
preparation for embassy reinforcement

00:27.780 --> 00:30.770
slash evacuation exercise called door .

00:30.770 --> 00:33.510
Uh Next month . This week we're

00:33.510 --> 00:36.630
focusing on the crawl and walk stages

00:36.640 --> 00:40.330
of the exercise . So we're working on

00:40.340 --> 00:42.950
force Protection guard procedures ,

00:42.950 --> 00:45.450
security posts incorporating machine

00:45.450 --> 00:49.290
guns into a uh facility , a

00:49.300 --> 00:51.700
compound and also working through

00:51.710 --> 00:53.940
vehicle checkpoints and entry control

00:53.940 --> 00:57.150
points to prevent from I . D . Threats

00:57.150 --> 00:59.650
from entering the compound and react to

00:59.650 --> 01:03.230
drills to maybe receiving contact ,

01:03.240 --> 01:05.760
either direct fire , indirect fire or

01:05.770 --> 01:07.920
unknown from into updates for

01:07.920 --> 01:11.350
evacuation of important personnel to a

01:11.350 --> 01:14.540
safe point within a compound . We

01:14.550 --> 01:18.190
process uh we started yesterday going

01:18.190 --> 01:20.357
through the procedures some some basic

01:20.357 --> 01:22.523
crawl classes in the day . They really

01:22.523 --> 01:25.240
caught on and the small unit leaders

01:25.240 --> 01:27.296
really really got the intent and ran

01:27.296 --> 01:29.462
with it . And it was almost a fire and

01:29.462 --> 01:32.160
forget exercise for from my perspective

01:32.340 --> 01:34.507
because they were able to execute very

01:34.507 --> 01:36.673
well very efficiently . So Don Dara is

01:36.673 --> 01:38.396
going to be heavily focused on

01:38.940 --> 01:40.884
combining with the commandment and

01:40.884 --> 01:43.107
reporting procedures combining with the

01:43.107 --> 01:45.370
logistics combat element and working

01:45.370 --> 01:47.481
through the evacuation procedures and

01:47.481 --> 01:49.960
the G . C . E . On security procedures .

01:49.970 --> 01:52.192
An alliance with the State Department .

01:52.192 --> 01:55.540
So we coordinate with their procedures

01:55.540 --> 01:57.651
and S . O . P . Is standing operating

01:57.651 --> 02:00.510
procedures for that current embassy and

02:00.510 --> 02:02.640
the local government of that nation .

02:02.820 --> 02:05.370
So I think interoperability within all

02:05.370 --> 02:07.148
those elements have really been

02:07.148 --> 02:09.314
successful and we have a good foothold

02:09.314 --> 02:11.648
and being very successful in the future .

02:11.648 --> 02:15.480
So the purpose behind Murphy is , in my

02:15.480 --> 02:18.030
point of view be that show of force

02:18.030 --> 02:20.540
that the brands are in the pacific were

02:20.540 --> 02:22.707
all over the pacific . And we continue

02:22.707 --> 02:25.300
to train and work with fellow nations

02:25.310 --> 02:28.690
and populations throughout Japan all

02:28.690 --> 02:30.801
the way down to Australia . And so we

02:30.801 --> 02:32.870
have a a line of forces essentially

02:32.870 --> 02:34.981
that shows that were active and we're

02:34.981 --> 02:37.230
training and that we're here and we're

02:37.230 --> 02:40.590
not going anywhere . I mean , Australia

02:40.590 --> 02:43.000
is a phenomenal country and we really

02:43.000 --> 02:45.760
enjoyed being here . So no complaints .
