national security and protecting our

00:32.307 --> 00:34.584
country , our interests and our allies .

00:34.584 --> 00:36.807
For over a century we've been front and

00:36.807 --> 00:36.600
center in every major conflict since

00:36.600 --> 00:38.740
our founding in 1915 , which you may

00:38.740 --> 00:40.851
recall was just prior to our nation's

00:40.851 --> 00:43.230
entry into World War One . That is 107

00:43.230 --> 00:45.397
years of answering the nation's call ,

00:45.397 --> 00:47.230
standing the watch with honour ,

00:47.230 --> 00:49.397
courage and commitment . In fact , you

00:59.720 --> 01:01.887
security environment is very different

01:01.887 --> 01:04.053
from the last few years and our Nature

01:04.053 --> 01:06.276
Reserve forces aggressively adapting to

01:06.276 --> 01:08.442
the new era of strategic competition .

01:08.442 --> 01:10.553
We are focused on deterring china and

01:10.553 --> 01:12.930
Russia from territory expansion through

01:12.930 --> 01:15.370
force . The aggressive implementation

01:15.370 --> 01:17.092
of the Nature Reserve fighting

01:17.092 --> 01:19.259
instruction over the last 15 months is

01:19.259 --> 01:21.481
yielding substantial results and we are

01:21.481 --> 01:23.370
more war finding ready to provide

01:23.370 --> 01:25.560
cheated death . The Cno Marine Corps

01:25.570 --> 01:27.860
and Joint Staff expect of our Naval

01:27.860 --> 01:31.170
Reserve . We're doing great . But we

01:31.170 --> 01:33.770
must keep our foot on the gas , your

01:33.770 --> 01:36.110
flexibility and that of your family and

01:36.110 --> 01:38.970

01:40.859 --> 01:43.192
fighting instructions , lines of effort ,

01:43.192 --> 01:45.303
design , train and mobilizing force .

01:45.640 --> 01:47.584
And if you haven't heard , we have

01:47.584 --> 01:49.751
recently announced the creation of the

01:49.751 --> 01:51.973

01:51.973 --> 01:54.020

01:58.560 --> 02:00.727
behaviors and deliver better access to

02:00.727 --> 02:03.300

02:05.829 --> 02:07.884
sailors readiness and the creativity

02:07.884 --> 02:09.940

02:12.107 --> 02:14.440
civilian sector makes our navy stronger .

02:14.440 --> 02:16.496
In fact , this birthday video is the

02:16.496 --> 02:15.950
perfect time to announce a new

02:15.950 --> 02:18.061
initiative . Our sailors are going to

02:18.061 --> 02:20.228
be very excited about it . I know I am

02:20.228 --> 02:22.450
To capture the many creative innovative

02:22.450 --> 02:24.450
ideas that are sailors can bring to

02:24.450 --> 02:26.228
bear to improve our force . I'm

02:26.228 --> 02:28.283
launching a new program to hear your

02:28.283 --> 02:30.450
good ideas . A program that challenges

02:30.450 --> 02:32.680
every one of us from E1209 to propose

02:32.680 --> 02:34.791
new or better ways to do what we do .

02:35.140 --> 02:37.473
The R . C . Shark tank as we're calling .

02:37.473 --> 02:39.696
It will fast track the best ideas up to

02:39.696 --> 02:41.807
the highest level of the Navy Reserve

02:41.807 --> 02:43.473
without any administrative or

02:43.473 --> 02:45.696
bureaucratic roadblocks along the way .

02:45.696 --> 02:47.918
Originators of the best ideas are going

02:47.918 --> 02:50.140
to be invited to present them in person

02:50.140 --> 02:50.080
to a panel of military and civilian

02:50.080 --> 02:52.400
leaders including forcing me we'll be

02:52.400 --> 02:54.400
providing further details soon . So

02:54.400 --> 02:56.567
consider this just a warning order for

02:56.567 --> 02:58.789
the innovators in the force , keep your

02:58.789 --> 03:00.844
eyes peeled for more information via

03:00.844 --> 03:00.630

03:00.630 --> 03:02.797

03:05.020 --> 03:07.187
the improvements . Finally , shipmates

03:17.530 --> 03:20.000
is our common goal . That is why we
