00:24.799 --> 00:26.639
These conditions can be quite

00:26.649 --> 00:28.705
challenging at times frightening . I

00:28.750 --> 00:30.806
think the marines were able to learn

00:30.806 --> 00:33.028
some of those challenges as they went .

00:33.028 --> 00:35.250
And you could definitely see throughout

00:35.250 --> 00:35.130
the group's improvement and the

00:35.139 --> 00:37.083
strength that they were building ,

00:37.083 --> 00:38.861
working in these conditions and

00:38.861 --> 00:41.083
understanding what it would take to not

00:41.083 --> 00:43.083
only survive but thrive in a combat

00:43.083 --> 00:45.250
scenario . In this type of situation .

00:48.919 --> 00:51.086
We got to see just exactly how similar

00:51.086 --> 00:52.975
the Chilean Marines and ourselves

00:52.975 --> 00:55.470
actually conduct training . It really

00:55.479 --> 00:58.250
showed how quickly our forces were to

00:58.259 --> 01:00.315
kind of combine in training and like

01:00.315 --> 01:02.315
learn each other and understand and

01:02.315 --> 01:04.203
quickly be able to actually get a

01:04.203 --> 01:06.259
training plan going that was able to

01:06.259 --> 01:08.537
accomplish multiple objectives at once .

01:09.919 --> 01:12.580
Warren Tree in this region is it put

01:12.589 --> 01:14.870
the marines in the cold weather

01:14.879 --> 01:16.990
environment . But I think another big

01:16.990 --> 01:19.101
thing was just to go ahead and try to

01:19.101 --> 01:22.319
build that good relationship with the

01:22.330 --> 01:25.080
Chilean Marines to show them that we

01:25.089 --> 01:27.349
are a capable fighting force that we

01:27.360 --> 01:30.260
are . Something that they want to be a

01:30.269 --> 01:31.080
part of .

01:37.760 --> 01:40.150
My favorite part of the training was

01:40.160 --> 01:42.989
definitely having the Chileans with us ,

01:43.650 --> 01:45.650
they were with us there . The whole

01:45.650 --> 01:49.269
time , I saw another perspective that I

01:49.279 --> 01:51.500
really never saw of working with a

01:51.510 --> 01:52.510
Foreign Force ,

02:03.069 --> 02:05.402
take a unit up that high with an ascent ,

02:05.402 --> 02:07.625
climb that mountain to about 4000 ft to

02:07.625 --> 02:10.070
a total of 6000 ft and take small units

02:10.080 --> 02:11.858
up there . It was a very unique

02:11.858 --> 02:13.913
experience never gotten to do in the

02:13.913 --> 02:16.024
Marine Corps , especially considering

02:16.024 --> 02:18.136
the severe weather conditions that we

02:18.136 --> 02:20.358
faced on the mountain to be able to see

02:20.358 --> 02:22.580
that and see the marines achievement on

02:22.580 --> 02:22.300
their face . After completing something

02:22.309 --> 02:24.520
so challenging was extremely rewarding .
