WEBVTT

00:10.579 --> 00:12.909
I'm Captain Sam Klausner , um with

00:12.920 --> 00:14.760
second battalion , 22nd infantry

00:14.770 --> 00:16.992
regiment , triple deuce , first brigade

00:16.992 --> 00:19.159
combat team . 10th Mountain Division .

00:19.159 --> 00:21.879
We are out here at the 45th cut , also

00:21.889 --> 00:23.780
known as Warrior Hill . We are

00:23.790 --> 00:26.389
conducting rope ascension and uh

00:26.409 --> 00:28.809
repelling uh as you see behind us , we

00:28.819 --> 00:31.389
are conducting the uh P pro ascent

00:31.540 --> 00:34.619
right now , right ? So , uh repelling

00:34.630 --> 00:36.970
and uh rope ascension is important to

00:36.979 --> 00:39.529
the 10th Mountain Division because one

00:39.540 --> 00:41.409
provides capability but also uh

00:41.419 --> 00:44.930
provides a link to our heritage uh as

00:44.939 --> 00:47.939
we started as a alpine uh mountain

00:47.950 --> 00:49.709
division and we are continuing

00:49.720 --> 00:53.459
continuing that heritage today , right ?

00:53.470 --> 00:56.549
So with the repelling lane , uh few of

00:56.560 --> 00:59.840
the challenges that we uh encounter is

01:00.720 --> 01:03.139
having guys build confidence into the

01:03.150 --> 01:05.809
systems , right ? So we bring soldiers

01:05.819 --> 01:07.430
and teach them about all the

01:07.430 --> 01:11.379
capabilities of uh the , the ropes

01:11.389 --> 01:14.889
and uh the A TC , the Caribbean , all

01:14.900 --> 01:17.122
the equipment and they build confidence

01:17.122 --> 01:19.178
for that . We walk them through a uh

01:19.178 --> 01:21.233
ground rappel and then we bring them

01:21.233 --> 01:24.040
over to the uh the wall to conduct an

01:24.050 --> 01:26.129
actual rappel the first time over uh

01:26.139 --> 01:28.083
some of the soldiers . It may be a

01:28.083 --> 01:30.250
little uh a little difficult but we're

01:30.250 --> 01:32.620
able to get every soldier over . Uh and

01:32.629 --> 01:34.796
they build confidence while doing it .

01:34.796 --> 01:37.150
Yeah . Uh War Week specifically this

01:37.160 --> 01:39.699
lane , um the repelling and represent

01:39.809 --> 01:42.779
lane uh prepare soldiers for complex

01:42.790 --> 01:45.040
terrain uh on the battlefield , right ?

01:45.050 --> 01:47.199
What you see behind is the basics uh

01:47.209 --> 01:49.989
with the Pru ascent and then earlier ,

01:50.110 --> 01:53.209
uh with the rappel , which is a

01:53.220 --> 01:55.260
extended rappel . Uh with the third

01:55.269 --> 01:58.269
hand , uh everything here is uh safe

01:58.279 --> 02:00.330
with the instructors , but it's

02:00.339 --> 02:03.599
building confidence in the soldier to

02:03.610 --> 02:06.290
uh operate in complex terrain in any

02:06.300 --> 02:09.110
environment uh that the 10th mountain

02:09.119 --> 02:11.175
division could be called to . Yeah ,

02:11.175 --> 02:13.397
additionally , uh where alpine red this

02:13.399 --> 02:15.449
week is all about having fun while

02:15.460 --> 02:17.820
teaching them uh alpine skills at the

02:17.830 --> 02:19.608
same time , right ? So bringing

02:19.608 --> 02:22.429
soldiers out here and in introducing

02:22.440 --> 02:24.919
them uh to the alpine heritage of the

02:24.929 --> 02:27.330
division and this brigade is uh

02:27.339 --> 02:29.710
critical and all the guys out here ,

02:30.070 --> 02:32.789
they will rappel down and they will

02:32.800 --> 02:34.509
send up and they're having a great time .
