00:03.470 --> 00:05.359
The idea of ready set is that the

00:05.359 --> 00:07.526
actions we take today is what gives us

00:07.526 --> 00:09.581
an advantage if we get the call that

00:09.581 --> 00:11.581
America needs us to fight and win .

00:11.581 --> 00:13.748
Seventh Engineer Support battalion was

00:13.748 --> 00:15.970
activated as Seventh engineer battalion

00:15.970 --> 00:17.970
on board Camp Pendleton , September

00:17.970 --> 00:19.970
29th , 1950 in support of the rapid

00:19.970 --> 00:22.192
build up of forces for the Korean War .

00:22.192 --> 00:24.026
Seventh engineer support bat has

00:24.026 --> 00:26.248
participated in every major conflict to

00:26.248 --> 00:28.414
include Desert Shield and Desert Storm

00:28.414 --> 00:30.359
in the early nineties , as well as

00:30.359 --> 00:32.581
operation , restore hope in Somalia and

00:32.581 --> 00:34.692
then more recently operation enduring

00:34.692 --> 00:34.639
freedom and operation Iraqi freedom .

00:45.200 --> 00:47.919
The re set campaign aligns perfectly

00:48.029 --> 00:50.479
with the 70 SB mindset and culture .

00:50.709 --> 00:53.009
Our marines know that readiness isn't

00:53.020 --> 00:55.340
just a checklist . It is a way of life .

00:55.349 --> 00:57.740
We take immense pride in living every

00:57.750 --> 00:59.972
single day this way . That's what makes

00:59.972 --> 01:02.139
this battalion an invaluable asset and

01:02.139 --> 01:04.083
a force multiply . What I want the

01:04.083 --> 01:06.139
marines of seventh ESB to understand

01:06.139 --> 01:08.250
about ready set is that is our ticket

01:08.250 --> 01:10.306
to win when we're ready . We can get

01:10.306 --> 01:12.306
out the door when we're needed when

01:12.306 --> 01:14.528
we're set , we are in position for when

01:14.528 --> 01:16.639
the nation gives us the call . We saw

01:16.639 --> 01:16.430
this in action when we got the call to

01:16.440 --> 01:18.273
respond to Marine Corps engineer

01:18.273 --> 01:20.709
detachment . Palau given only six weeks

01:20.720 --> 01:22.989
to get an entire company reinforced out

01:23.000 --> 01:24.889
the door because our marines were

01:24.889 --> 01:26.944
already trained , already ready . We

01:26.944 --> 01:29.167
were able to place them in the position

01:29.167 --> 01:31.333
of need very rapidly . In the , in the

01:31.333 --> 01:33.333
Pacific theater , opportunities are

01:33.333 --> 01:33.230
fleeting . And if you aren't the one to

01:33.239 --> 01:35.461
act , you lose the advantage because we

01:35.461 --> 01:37.683
were ready , we were able to set and we

01:37.683 --> 01:39.739
are ready to act and we are now in a

01:39.739 --> 01:41.739
position of advantage . My favorite

01:41.739 --> 01:43.961
thing about this unit is the incredible

01:43.961 --> 01:45.906
diversity of our marines and their

01:45.906 --> 01:48.017
unwavering willingness to execute any

01:48.017 --> 01:50.559
task at any given time . This diversity

01:50.569 --> 01:52.739
combined with their innovative spirit

01:52.750 --> 01:55.180
makes seven CS B a formidable force .

01:55.510 --> 01:58.239
We're a team of engineers , one and all

01:58.250 --> 02:00.250
working towards collective goal and

02:00.250 --> 02:02.417
getting after the US interests and I'm

02:02.417 --> 02:03.040
pretty proud to call it home .
