00:00.200 --> 00:02.311
The challenge that we have now moving

00:02.311 --> 00:04.422
forward is how do we do it off of the

00:04.422 --> 00:03.950
ship ?

00:12.680 --> 00:15.210
A few months ago , we uh as a mag staff

00:15.220 --> 00:17.360
met up out in Yuma , we executed an

00:17.370 --> 00:19.537
exercise out there coming together the

00:19.537 --> 00:21.370
first time as a team , uh really

00:21.370 --> 00:23.537
working through our procedures . Hey ,

00:23.537 --> 00:26.340
we got right target at completion of

00:26.350 --> 00:28.294
that exercise , the whole team was

00:28.294 --> 00:30.350
ready for the fight . So we came out

00:30.350 --> 00:32.350
here on the Boxer and the other two

00:32.350 --> 00:34.517
ships in the yard and took that skills

00:34.517 --> 00:34.479
that we had developed out there in

00:34.490 --> 00:36.546
order to execute smoothly throughout

00:36.546 --> 00:38.601
the duration of our at same period .

00:46.439 --> 00:48.661
The 15th year getting on a ship for the

00:48.661 --> 00:50.606
first time we incurred uh multiple

00:50.606 --> 00:52.880
challenges . We're talking about moving

00:52.889 --> 00:55.630
2000 marines ashore both by land , air

00:55.639 --> 00:57.639
and sea . Very different transition

00:57.639 --> 00:59.750
than going from on land to stuck on a

00:59.750 --> 01:01.750
boat , run out of things to do . It

01:01.750 --> 01:03.806
gets boring pretty quick , but you ,

01:03.806 --> 01:06.139
you make it work , just keep pushing on .

01:06.139 --> 01:08.139
I say the biggest challenge is just

01:08.139 --> 01:10.306
adjusting to ship life in general . So

01:10.306 --> 01:12.417
far , it's been uh intense and a fast

01:12.417 --> 01:14.583
paced , but you get used to the rhythm

01:14.583 --> 01:16.472
and that's how you move forward .

01:18.709 --> 01:20.820
It's important for the marines to get

01:20.820 --> 01:22.765
out on the ship as a mag T to work

01:22.765 --> 01:24.876
through the integration with our navy

01:24.876 --> 01:28.790
partners . A , we're gonna be

01:28.800 --> 01:31.080
stuck on this boat with each other . So

01:31.089 --> 01:33.311
you're gonna have to learn to like each

01:33.311 --> 01:33.199
other . Otherwise you're gonna have a

01:33.209 --> 01:35.610
miserable time . B if you can't work

01:35.620 --> 01:37.676
with each other , we're not gonna be

01:37.676 --> 01:39.898
able to get anything done . We have the

01:39.898 --> 01:41.842
same standard , but we do things a

01:41.842 --> 01:44.064
different way and we've seen that we're

01:44.064 --> 01:46.176
able to work together , identify what

01:46.176 --> 01:48.398
are critical vulnerabilities and attack

01:48.398 --> 01:51.339
those . It was impressive . The

01:51.349 --> 01:53.127
integration across thousands of

01:53.127 --> 01:54.905
individuals from a multitude of

01:54.905 --> 01:57.127
backgrounds and cultures was really key

01:57.127 --> 01:59.293
in opening my eyes into the capability

01:59.293 --> 02:01.460
of the United States , Canadian Marine

02:01.460 --> 02:05.449
Corps . The biggest

02:05.459 --> 02:07.292
takeaway from the me during this

02:07.292 --> 02:09.348
exercise was the integration between

02:09.348 --> 02:11.181
the Navy and the Marine Corps to

02:11.181 --> 02:13.459
prepare ourselves for the future fight .

02:21.220 --> 02:24.009
We are no longer CB , we are no longer

02:24.020 --> 02:26.759
the BLT . We are no longer the ace . We

02:26.770 --> 02:28.850
are the landing court . We are the
