00:04.110 --> 00:06.277
Batam Indonesia for exercise , Kas Max

00:07.199 --> 00:11.170
2024 Kas Marx is a bilateral exercise

00:11.180 --> 00:14.619
with the Indonesian Marine Corps . We

00:14.630 --> 00:17.049
are Marine rotational force , Southeast

00:17.059 --> 00:19.226
Asia , the newest rotational force for

00:19.226 --> 00:21.392
the Marine Corps . We are here to help

00:21.392 --> 00:24.110
out and to build regional stability and

00:24.120 --> 00:26.370
we are here to work with our allies and

00:26.379 --> 00:29.739
partners with the Indonesian Marine

00:29.750 --> 00:32.229
Corps . Some of the things I've learned

00:32.240 --> 00:34.470
from the partner forces are the

00:34.479 --> 00:37.110
survivability in the jungle . The Kumar

00:37.319 --> 00:39.430
brought out one of their instructors

00:39.580 --> 00:42.060
from their commando course , second

00:42.069 --> 00:44.650
Sergeant Sultan and he instructed on

00:44.659 --> 00:47.549
ambush , patrolling jungle survival and

00:47.560 --> 00:49.750
just jungle patrolling in general . On

00:49.759 --> 00:51.870
our end , we brought out some marines

00:51.870 --> 00:53.759
who had been through the infantry

00:53.759 --> 00:56.037
marksmanship training program packages ,

00:56.037 --> 00:55.930
Quantico , Virginia weapons field

00:55.939 --> 00:58.050
training battalion . They're absolute

00:58.050 --> 01:00.217
experts with all things marksmanship .

01:00.217 --> 01:02.272
And we're able to provide some super

01:02.272 --> 01:04.217
quality instruction to the Kar . I

01:04.217 --> 01:06.272
think it's important because this is

01:06.272 --> 01:05.800
the future of the Marine Corps . We

01:05.809 --> 01:07.860
need to learn how to operate with

01:07.870 --> 01:10.037
different allies and partners . Really

01:10.037 --> 01:12.037
just even planning an exercise like

01:12.037 --> 01:13.870
this , not to mention , actually

01:13.870 --> 01:15.981
operating day to day with them is how

01:15.981 --> 01:17.981
we learn to do that better . So the

01:17.981 --> 01:20.230
approach we started off planning

01:20.239 --> 01:22.470
together . So this wasn't just a US or

01:22.480 --> 01:24.536
Indonesian plan . We came together ,

01:24.536 --> 01:26.830
our staffs worked for about a week to

01:26.839 --> 01:29.006
come up with a plan . The scenario was

01:29.006 --> 01:31.400
that of a cultural defense mission on

01:31.410 --> 01:33.949
how would you defend a island ? A

01:33.959 --> 01:36.750
realistic scenario where an aggressive

01:36.760 --> 01:39.209
nation violated the sovereignty and

01:39.220 --> 01:42.569
territorial rights of Indonesia with

01:42.580 --> 01:44.636
the final coastal exercise . I think

01:44.636 --> 01:46.747
that was a good rep of what an actual

01:46.747 --> 01:48.802
joint operation might look like with

01:48.802 --> 01:51.050
them . There is no bond between us .

01:51.059 --> 01:53.860
The chemistry that's going throughout

01:53.870 --> 01:55.814
this training is very good between

01:55.814 --> 01:58.620
Indonesia and the marines . Me and my

01:58.629 --> 02:00.796
marines are extremely confident in our

02:00.796 --> 02:02.907
ability to work side by side with the

02:02.907 --> 02:05.809
Indonesian Marines sub boy .

02:10.100 --> 02:13.179
Alright , thank you . That .
