00:03.240 --> 00:05.500
When we get tanks and Bradleys shooting

00:05.510 --> 00:07.677
and drive around it , it gets people's

00:07.677 --> 00:09.454
attention . The reason why it's

00:09.454 --> 00:11.454
important to have competitions like

00:11.454 --> 00:13.566
this is for one , it demonstrates the

00:13.566 --> 00:15.621
army's lethality . Second reason why

00:15.621 --> 00:17.677
it's important is it motivates these

00:17.677 --> 00:19.788
crewmen that come out here to compete

00:19.788 --> 00:19.239
amongst each other and against each

00:19.250 --> 00:21.306
other to demonstrate who is the most

00:21.306 --> 00:23.361
lethal crew . And so to give them an

00:23.361 --> 00:25.194
opportunity to do that is always

00:25.194 --> 00:27.306
rewarding and challenging for them as

00:27.306 --> 00:26.379
well .

00:33.599 --> 00:35.710
This cup is life changing whenever it

00:35.710 --> 00:38.180
comes to crew chemistry , crew cohesion

00:38.189 --> 00:40.522
because you spend months with your crew ,

00:40.659 --> 00:43.130
constantly training every single day ,

00:43.409 --> 00:45.631
spending hours and days together in the

00:45.631 --> 00:48.020
field . So we couldn't be closer as a

00:48.029 --> 00:50.029
crew . We really couldn't . We know

00:50.029 --> 00:52.140
everything about each other . We know

00:52.140 --> 00:51.799
all of our faults , all of our good

00:51.810 --> 00:53.810
things . We work together to really

00:53.810 --> 00:55.810
bring up each side . So it's really

00:55.810 --> 00:57.588
great for a crew . Absolutely .

00:59.770 --> 01:02.049
Having to rely on your crew , each crew

01:02.060 --> 01:04.282
member has to give it their 100% . It's

01:04.282 --> 01:07.330
not an individual path . So you have to

01:07.339 --> 01:09.172
trust your gunner to hit all the

01:09.172 --> 01:11.395
targets . You have to trust your loader

01:11.395 --> 01:14.779
to load that round on time . Every part

01:14.790 --> 01:16.957
of this competition , every event that

01:16.957 --> 01:18.957
they did was a demonstration of our

01:18.957 --> 01:20.957
lethality as an army . And so to be

01:20.957 --> 01:23.123
able to show that to people around the

01:23.123 --> 01:25.179
country and the world , in fact , is

01:25.179 --> 01:27.234
the most important thing that we can

01:27.234 --> 01:29.290
demonstrate within the United States

01:29.290 --> 01:28.349
Army .
