Hello , I'm Emerald Darryl Caudle and

00:05.281 --> 00:07.392
thanks for spending a minute with the

00:07.392 --> 00:09.503
commander this month . I want to talk

00:09.503 --> 00:11.726
to you about the importance of training

00:11.726 --> 00:13.448
at the operational level . Our

00:13.448 --> 00:15.281
adversaries around the world are

00:15.281 --> 00:17.448
becoming more technologically advanced

00:17.448 --> 00:19.559
and growing bolder in their actions .

00:19.559 --> 00:21.503
In fact , our peer competitors are

00:21.503 --> 00:23.392
training together like the recent

00:23.392 --> 00:25.503
surface action group off the coast of

00:25.503 --> 00:27.503
Alaska to keep our skills , we must

00:27.503 --> 00:29.726
train smartly and efficiently . We just

00:29.726 --> 00:31.781
wrapped up one of the Navy's largest

00:31.781 --> 00:33.948
and most advanced training exercises .

00:33.948 --> 00:36.059
Hence the name large scale exercise .

00:36.059 --> 00:39.105
2020 LSC brought together the Navy and

00:39.116 --> 00:42.085
Marine Corp on a global scale . It

00:42.096 --> 00:43.874
challenged our teams to operate

00:43.874 --> 00:45.895
seamlessly across the planet to

00:45.905 --> 00:48.436
validate how we might fight if that day

00:48.445 --> 00:51.226
ever comes . After 10 days of around

00:51.236 --> 00:53.180
the clock training , we gathered a

00:53.180 --> 00:55.180
number of lessons learned and those

00:55.180 --> 00:57.346
lessons will only make our force more

00:57.355 --> 01:00.125
lethal in and through all domains .

01:00.136 --> 01:02.247
Some of that training by the way took

01:02.247 --> 01:04.358
place without even leaving the pier ,

01:05.181 --> 01:07.391
we virtually place units anywhere

01:07.402 --> 01:09.346
around the world and injected them

01:09.346 --> 01:11.722
constructively into challenging combat

01:11.732 --> 01:15.162
scenarios . Large scale exercise 2023

01:15.171 --> 01:17.832
was a success . And this vital Navy and

01:17.842 --> 01:20.192
Marine Corps training demonstrated our

01:20.202 --> 01:22.592
unwavering dedication to protecting our

01:22.601 --> 01:24.442
nation's interests , promoting

01:24.452 --> 01:26.982
stability and ensuring a safer world

01:26.991 --> 01:29.202
for the United States as well as our

01:29.211 --> 01:31.491
partners and allies . Thanks for

01:31.501 --> 01:33.162
spending a minute with the commander .
