00:03.410 --> 00:05.760
So here the 1/16 as sauce in Spokane

00:05.769 --> 00:07.658
Washington conducted a small unit

00:07.658 --> 00:10.439
tactics , CQB and C operations , which

00:10.449 --> 00:12.449
is close air support . So we pretty

00:12.449 --> 00:14.393
much went into buildings , cleared

00:14.393 --> 00:16.393
objectives and were able to perform

00:16.393 --> 00:18.338
close air support , dropping bombs

00:18.338 --> 00:20.616
within close vicinity of fellow troops .

00:21.049 --> 00:23.216
All this training is super important .

00:23.216 --> 00:25.271
I mean , you're gonna be in multiple

00:25.271 --> 00:25.180
areas and you need to train to what

00:25.190 --> 00:27.301
you're gonna be fighting in , right ?

00:27.301 --> 00:29.246
So training environments like this

00:29.246 --> 00:31.468
where we're not super familiar with the

00:31.468 --> 00:31.149
area . Obviously , you're never

00:31.159 --> 00:33.509
familiar with the area and uh running

00:33.520 --> 00:35.576
through as a team building that team

00:35.576 --> 00:37.687
bonding , building that team unit and

00:37.687 --> 00:39.742
going through these buildings is , I

00:39.742 --> 00:41.964
mean , the most important thing . First

00:41.964 --> 00:44.187
round got a couple of painful reminders

00:44.187 --> 00:46.409
with SIM rounds of how everything works

00:46.409 --> 00:48.576
and operated . And then after everyone

00:48.576 --> 00:48.549
got a nice little friendly reminder

00:48.560 --> 00:50.840
that this could be real . Uh I think it

00:50.849 --> 00:52.793
put everyone in perspective and we

00:52.793 --> 00:54.960
moved a lot slower , a lot cleaner , a

00:54.960 --> 00:56.905
lot more efficient , we're able to

00:56.905 --> 00:59.110
conduct the mission easier . I think

00:59.119 --> 01:01.529
every taxi out here and every other

01:01.540 --> 01:03.707
person we brought out here could bring

01:03.707 --> 01:05.651
back something from this . Right .

01:05.651 --> 01:07.762
Whether it be communication , whether

01:07.762 --> 01:09.929
it be actual s small tactics , whether

01:09.929 --> 01:11.873
it be just shooting in general , I

01:11.873 --> 01:14.096
think any of those you could bring back

01:14.096 --> 01:16.096
and provide education to the people

01:16.096 --> 01:18.262
that didn't get to join this trip this

01:18.262 --> 01:16.839
time .
