00:01.059 --> 00:03.869
It is the distances , it is operating

00:03.880 --> 00:06.809
across multiple islands . These large

00:06.820 --> 00:08.931
bodies of water that separate you and

00:08.931 --> 00:11.098
that will desegregate your force . The

00:11.098 --> 00:13.376
terrain on these islands , it is steep ,

00:13.376 --> 00:15.431
it is rough . The population centers

00:15.431 --> 00:17.209
are massive . It is a different

00:17.209 --> 00:19.153
environment . One of the beautiful

00:19.153 --> 00:21.264
things about training in Hawaii is we

00:21.264 --> 00:23.320
are a stone's throw from every other

00:23.320 --> 00:25.431
member of the joint force and we have

00:25.431 --> 00:27.653
access to their training facilities and

00:27.653 --> 00:29.709
ranges as well . It's important that

00:29.709 --> 00:31.709
units like the 75th Ranger regiment

00:31.709 --> 00:33.931
come out and train in environments like

00:33.931 --> 00:36.042
this because it's different than what

00:36.042 --> 00:35.700
they've been doing . They've done some

00:35.709 --> 00:37.542
boat assault , soothing in rough

00:37.542 --> 00:39.765
terrain , learning the basics of how do

00:39.765 --> 00:41.876
you fight survive and win in a jungle

00:41.876 --> 00:43.431
environment . I think we're

00:43.431 --> 00:45.487
contributing to a more prepared army

00:45.487 --> 00:47.487
and a more prepared joint force for

00:47.487 --> 00:49.598
security challenges . We get a better

00:49.598 --> 00:51.542
understanding of how do we operate

00:51.542 --> 00:53.265
together at higher echelon but

00:53.265 --> 00:55.376
understanding the Indo pacific better

00:55.376 --> 00:57.042
as a likely theater of future

00:57.042 --> 00:56.159
employment .
