00:07.420 --> 00:09.640
O CS Can . School is a commissioning

00:09.649 --> 00:11.871
source . It's one of three that you can

00:11.871 --> 00:14.060
go through in order to earn your

00:14.069 --> 00:16.840
commission . So today was a day , day

00:16.850 --> 00:20.520
three of platoon sticks lanes . So this

00:20.530 --> 00:23.389
was a raid on Mount site . So the

00:23.399 --> 00:25.621
candidates have been out in the field .

00:25.621 --> 00:27.843
Now on day three in the wood line , now

00:27.843 --> 00:29.843
we transitioned from a mounted or a

00:29.843 --> 00:31.920
wooded environment to a mount urban

00:31.930 --> 00:34.790
environment to conduct a assault which

00:34.799 --> 00:36.919
is an attack on a known objective .

00:36.930 --> 00:39.400
This isn't just for infantry officers

00:39.450 --> 00:41.672
or armor officers , but if you're field

00:41.672 --> 00:43.839
artillery , you know , you're going to

00:43.839 --> 00:46.099
be assigned as a , as a , as a company

00:46.110 --> 00:48.332
fso , right ? You're going to be a fire

00:48.332 --> 00:50.554
sport officer to a troop commander or a

00:50.554 --> 00:52.777
company commander like your skill set .

00:52.777 --> 00:55.119
And the fight on the ground is it is

00:55.130 --> 00:56.959
critical for you to bring that

00:56.970 --> 00:59.250
knowledge to then make your company or

00:59.259 --> 01:02.830
your troop more lethal . The past

01:03.259 --> 01:06.250
week and a half , we've been doing all

01:06.260 --> 01:09.290
of our work in the woods and coming out

01:09.300 --> 01:12.230
here to a more urban environment . It

01:12.239 --> 01:14.980
definitely is a big change . You have

01:14.989 --> 01:17.529
to pay more attention to kind of where

01:17.540 --> 01:20.110
everybody is at because out in the

01:20.120 --> 01:22.342
woods , you know , everything is pretty

01:22.342 --> 01:25.120
open , but here you could turn around a

01:25.129 --> 01:27.296
corner and you don't know what's going

01:27.296 --> 01:29.129
to be there . I think my biggest

01:29.129 --> 01:30.629
takeaway was how important

01:30.629 --> 01:32.573
communication is , especially when

01:32.573 --> 01:34.796
everybody is so spread out in different

01:34.796 --> 01:36.962
buildings in different rooms . And you

01:36.962 --> 01:39.073
really need to keep that coordination

01:39.073 --> 01:41.073
between what your task is . Are you

01:41.073 --> 01:43.449
getting it done and when everything is

01:43.459 --> 01:45.626
complete and when you're ready to move

01:45.626 --> 01:47.515
on to the next step , I encourage

01:47.515 --> 01:49.570
anybody that wants to find out about

01:49.570 --> 01:51.681
officer candidate school to reach out

01:51.681 --> 01:53.903
through our , through RRB , through our

01:53.903 --> 01:55.959
Officer Strength Management office .

01:55.959 --> 01:58.015
Reach out directly to the cadre that

01:58.015 --> 01:59.959
are currently at the RT I . And if

01:59.959 --> 02:01.903
you're an NCO or an officer that's

02:01.903 --> 02:04.070
coming out of company command and want

02:04.070 --> 02:03.660
to come and give back to the next

02:03.669 --> 02:06.099
generation , teach them what , you know ,

02:06.110 --> 02:08.166
teach them what you didn't know what

02:08.166 --> 02:10.110
you wish you knew , you know , the

02:10.110 --> 02:12.332
doors open for a cadre and we're always

02:12.332 --> 02:12.020
looking for the best .
