Us Marine Corps , Captain Matthew

00:02.819 --> 00:04.874
George , company commander for Alpha

00:04.874 --> 00:06.986
Company , Third Marine Division talks

00:06.986 --> 00:09.152
about alpha companies time shared with

00:09.152 --> 00:08.279
their Philippine counterparts during

00:08.289 --> 00:10.289
Balaton 23 in Santa Juliana ,

00:10.300 --> 00:12.609
Philippines . So today , the primary

00:12.619 --> 00:15.180
focus of training was a non live fire

00:15.260 --> 00:18.440
event that centered around classes

00:18.450 --> 00:20.950
taught by our Philippine Marine

00:20.959 --> 00:24.680
partners . Primarily their version of

00:24.690 --> 00:26.857
what would be our Marine Corps martial

00:26.860 --> 00:29.082
arts program . They also led us through

00:29.082 --> 00:31.193
several iterations of jungle survival

00:31.193 --> 00:33.249
training and jungle mobility . We've

00:33.249 --> 00:35.304
had a couple of socials with them so

00:35.304 --> 00:37.304
far we've had meal engagements with

00:37.304 --> 00:39.471
them . So it's given us an opportunity

00:39.471 --> 00:41.638
to really integrate and socialize with

00:41.638 --> 00:43.860
the people that we're going to continue

00:43.860 --> 00:46.193
to be working with while we're out here .

00:46.193 --> 00:45.955
Yes . So the training today , although

00:45.965 --> 00:47.694
light and nature is absolutely

00:47.705 --> 00:50.305
imperative to developing relationships

00:50.314 --> 00:52.775
that are not just going to last or

00:52.784 --> 00:54.728
expire now , but that are going to

00:54.728 --> 00:56.951
remain well into the foreseeable future

00:56.951 --> 00:59.006
reporting from the Philippines . I'm

00:59.006 --> 00:59.584
