00:19.840 --> 00:21.562
I believe the orient shield is

00:21.562 --> 00:23.451
important because we were able to

00:23.451 --> 00:25.118
strengthen our bond and build

00:25.118 --> 00:27.007
camaraderie with not only our own

00:27.007 --> 00:29.173
friendly force being the US army , but

00:29.173 --> 00:31.229
our foreign friendly force being the

00:31.229 --> 00:33.173
JGSDF building camaraderie is very

00:33.173 --> 00:34.673
important between allies ,

00:43.880 --> 00:46.080
being able to work together , to

00:46.090 --> 00:48.312
establish what we have in common , what

00:48.312 --> 00:50.479
we don't and be able to work through .

00:50.479 --> 00:52.646
That has definitely been the hardest .

00:52.646 --> 00:55.259
But I'd say our biggest successes would

00:55.270 --> 00:56.881
be work together as a team .

01:00.090 --> 01:02.090
The biggest challenge is definitely

01:02.090 --> 01:04.257
being the different vernacular between

01:04.257 --> 01:06.312
ourselves and the US army . And then

01:06.312 --> 01:08.479
obviously the language barrier between

01:08.479 --> 01:12.470
ourselves and the JGSDF . I believe

01:12.480 --> 01:14.647
that we're displaying our capabilities

01:14.647 --> 01:16.647
of lethality in the Marine Corps by

01:16.647 --> 01:19.209
showing them that we can work with .

01:19.220 --> 01:21.331
Not only the people that we work with

01:21.331 --> 01:23.553
every day , but people that we've never

01:23.553 --> 01:25.609
worked with being in the US army and

01:25.609 --> 01:27.400
the JGSDF showing that little

01:27.410 --> 01:29.632
challenges here and there aren't really

01:29.632 --> 01:31.410
going to stop us from a mission

01:31.410 --> 01:32.809
accomplishment . We're ready .
