00:02.200 --> 00:03.200
The house .

00:08.529 --> 00:10.751
My name is Sergeant , first class . I'm

00:10.751 --> 00:13.479
with a company 545 BEB brigade engineer

00:13.489 --> 00:16.440
battalion . Uh Currently , we're doing

00:16.450 --> 00:19.879
a heavy demo day which is training for

00:19.989 --> 00:23.739
our counter mobility and mobility

00:23.750 --> 00:26.239
portions of an engineer's job .

00:27.909 --> 00:29.687
So as common engineers , we are

00:29.687 --> 00:31.687
integrated with the infantry and in

00:31.687 --> 00:33.687
doing so we do in breaches with the

00:33.687 --> 00:35.465
infantry to help them give them

00:35.465 --> 00:37.750
mobility . Our main job is mobility ,

00:37.759 --> 00:39.815
counter mobility and survivability .

00:40.970 --> 00:42.637
Today , we're doing bangalore

00:42.637 --> 00:46.540
demolition and that is used to breach

00:46.549 --> 00:48.919
wire obstacles typically for Dr B

00:50.869 --> 00:52.980
on top of the demo , what we're doing

00:52.980 --> 00:55.091
with the , with the bangalore , we're

00:55.091 --> 00:56.980
also going to be doing shapes and

00:56.980 --> 00:58.980
craters which typically are used to

00:58.980 --> 01:01.147
blow up roads and create obstacles and

01:01.147 --> 01:03.369
roads . Usually we get to come out here

01:03.369 --> 01:05.889
and have a heavy demo range once a year .

01:07.809 --> 01:09.920
Well , it's important because this is

01:09.920 --> 01:12.031
applicable to deployments . You can't

01:13.110 --> 01:15.580
shorthand training . Uh You have to get

01:15.589 --> 01:18.059
out there and you have to put hands on

01:18.069 --> 01:20.550
uh explosives . You can't read it in a

01:20.559 --> 01:22.781
book . It's a lot different . It sounds

01:22.781 --> 01:25.003
if it , it feels different and when you

01:25.003 --> 01:26.337
do it , it is different

01:28.889 --> 01:31.111
this is the bread and butter of being a

01:31.111 --> 01:32.889
common engineer is demolition .

01:32.889 --> 01:35.056
Everybody , everybody , when they hear

01:35.056 --> 01:37.167
a common engineer , they always think

01:37.167 --> 01:39.278
demolition for the most part . And so

01:39.278 --> 01:42.709
this is what we do best . We , we blow

01:42.720 --> 01:43.470
things up .
