00:00.009 --> 00:02.120
I'm David Myers first lieutenant with

00:02.120 --> 00:04.342
Marine Air Sport squadron too . So this

00:04.342 --> 00:06.509
field exercise was mass two small arms

00:06.509 --> 00:10.039
package 23.1 . It consisted of AM 10 ,

00:10.050 --> 00:13.069
14 shotgun Familiarization shoot as

00:13.079 --> 00:16.620
well as a 556 fire and movement course

00:16.629 --> 00:18.740
of fire . The purpose of this type of

00:18.740 --> 00:20.685
training is to ensure that marines

00:20.685 --> 00:22.851
remain lethal on their weapon system .

00:22.851 --> 00:25.018
Beyond going to the rifle range . Once

00:25.018 --> 00:27.739
a year , it reinforces marines weapons

00:27.750 --> 00:30.049
confidence and also familiarizes

00:30.059 --> 00:32.226
themselves with other weapons that Mas

00:32.226 --> 00:34.337
two has in their arsenal . Mas Two is

00:34.337 --> 00:36.503
being forward deployed . We're in high

00:36.503 --> 00:38.670
demand on a lot of operations . So our

00:38.670 --> 00:41.020
operational team is very busy and it's

00:41.029 --> 00:43.196
hard to find down time to conduct this

00:43.196 --> 00:45.307
type of training . I learned that the

00:45.307 --> 00:48.779
Marines despite not having a lot of

00:48.790 --> 00:50.846
time behind their weapon systems can

00:50.846 --> 00:53.068
still shoot , move and communicate just

00:53.068 --> 00:54.479
as well as they did post MCT .
