00:02.200 --> 00:05.820
three , ladies and

00:05.820 --> 00:08.540
gentlemen , marines and sailors . We

00:08.540 --> 00:10.596
are proud to be here celebrating the

00:10.596 --> 00:12.690
successful completion of this year's

00:12.690 --> 00:14.080
common dog exercise .

00:18.300 --> 00:21.580
I am incredibly honored to be part of

00:21.580 --> 00:23.524
our longstanding alliance with the

00:23.524 --> 00:26.230
Philippines which remains strong and

00:26.230 --> 00:26.910
capable

00:32.410 --> 00:34.560
common dog was a bilateral exercise

00:34.560 --> 00:36.940
with the Philippine Marine Corps . That

00:36.940 --> 00:39.820
is an annual exercise that we conduct

00:39.830 --> 00:42.080
with them in order to just continue to

00:42.080 --> 00:44.247
build the bilateral proficiency , ease

00:44.247 --> 00:46.340
and efficiencies across both of our

00:46.350 --> 00:49.950
forces . The command exercise bring us

00:49.950 --> 00:51.783
the opportunity to work together

00:51.783 --> 00:53.839
Through this exercise , the american

00:53.839 --> 00:56.860
forces were able to go here and conduct

00:56.870 --> 00:59.630
training together with us . Teamwork is

00:59.630 --> 01:01.630
very important . You really need to

01:01.630 --> 01:03.741
fight side by side with one another ,

01:03.741 --> 01:05.910
fighting a common enemy . It gives us

01:05.910 --> 01:07.966
the opportunity to have an increased

01:07.966 --> 01:10.710
presence of american forces , thereby

01:10.720 --> 01:13.120
having an active depends posture in the

01:13.120 --> 01:16.240
Asia pacific region . We were able to

01:16.240 --> 01:18.930
do amphibious raids with reconnaissance ,

01:20.220 --> 01:22.164
humanitarian assistance , disaster

01:22.164 --> 01:26.050
relief , basic infantry tactics

01:26.060 --> 01:28.110
without Philippine Marine Corps

01:28.120 --> 01:30.342
brethren . We want to make sure that we

01:30.342 --> 01:32.564
go into battle with someone we know and

01:32.564 --> 01:34.398
by coming to these exercises and

01:34.398 --> 01:36.620
conducting these exercises , we're able

01:36.620 --> 01:38.398
to do that . We build a rapport

01:38.398 --> 01:40.620
together that if conflict ever occurs ,

01:40.620 --> 01:42.842
we know how to react and we can do that

01:42.842 --> 01:44.620
effectively together . Constant

01:44.620 --> 01:46.731
training , constant identification of

01:46.731 --> 01:48.898
things that don't work now allow us to

01:48.898 --> 01:51.009
identify the things that will work in

01:51.009 --> 01:53.064
the future . The marines have always

01:53.064 --> 01:55.009
deployed . Usually they've they've

01:55.009 --> 01:57.120
always deployed with their rifles and

01:57.120 --> 01:59.342
with whatever else the Marine Corps has

01:59.342 --> 01:58.800
given them to be successful in the

01:58.810 --> 02:00.820
fight with today's technology . And

02:00.820 --> 02:02.960
with the advances of what the Marine

02:02.960 --> 02:05.071
Corps is doing with force design , we

02:05.071 --> 02:07.740
have been able to develop capabilities

02:07.750 --> 02:09.750
to provide the marines that they're

02:09.750 --> 02:11.750
deployable with and makes them more

02:11.750 --> 02:12.110
lethal force .
