WEBVTT

00:06.829 --> 00:10.090
We're combat ready . We're prepared to

00:10.090 --> 00:12.920
fight and win . And enable and sustain

00:12.920 --> 00:15.449
that fight . To the total force where

00:15.449 --> 00:17.171
you have needs , we're ready .

00:21.680 --> 00:24.809
Northern strike is a joint multi-domain

00:24.809 --> 00:26.976
exercise . What Michigan brings to the

00:26.976 --> 00:30.690
table is a cooperative atmosphere with

00:30.690 --> 00:32.746
industry and the state to be able to

00:32.746 --> 00:34.857
provide a lot of things that are much

00:34.857 --> 00:36.746
less restrictive than some of our

00:36.746 --> 00:38.857
training areas . There's a tremendous

00:38.857 --> 00:38.689
opportunity here to do things that are

00:38.689 --> 00:40.889
a little more prohibitive on the

00:40.889 --> 00:43.610
California coastline or maybe on the

00:43.610 --> 00:44.666
eastern seaboard .

00:52.150 --> 00:54.259
Oh . Yeah .

01:02.639 --> 01:04.861
At the sustainment brigade headquarters

01:04.861 --> 01:06.879
we've had 6 UK logisticians and 2

01:06.879 --> 01:09.101
Estonian logisticians with us . They've

01:09.101 --> 01:11.268
also been able to get out and do a lot

01:11.268 --> 01:13.323
of the training with us . It's fun .

01:13.323 --> 01:15.379
There's some cultural things there ,

01:15.379 --> 01:17.268
both service culture and national

01:17.268 --> 01:19.323
culture , that's good to build , but

01:19.323 --> 01:21.323
also they , they kind of see how we

01:21.323 --> 01:23.268
work . It's always good to see how

01:23.268 --> 01:25.379
partners partners do things , uh some

01:25.379 --> 01:28.459
best practices . I think it's important

01:28.459 --> 01:30.681
to come out and do an exercise with the

01:30.681 --> 01:32.792
US embassy reserves , um , and really

01:32.792 --> 01:35.015
any partner falls because at some point

01:35.015 --> 01:37.126
we are going to be on the battlefield

01:37.126 --> 01:39.069
together . If you make these

01:39.069 --> 01:41.013
connections early and work out the

01:41.013 --> 01:43.180
cultural differences so you can define

01:43.680 --> 01:45.870
your TTPs together , that's only going

01:45.870 --> 01:47.870
to set the conditions for success .

01:52.360 --> 01:55.550
It's exposure , it's vision , it's

01:55.550 --> 01:57.661
trust and confidence in in the United

01:57.661 --> 01:59.772
States Marine Corps as a partner that

01:59.772 --> 02:01.717
they feel comfortable leaving here

02:01.717 --> 02:03.939
saying oh yeah , they know what they're

02:03.939 --> 02:06.050
doing they're ready , they're good to

02:06.050 --> 02:08.272
go . The Exiles normal strike have been

02:08.272 --> 02:10.439
super interesting , er we've got loads

02:10.439 --> 02:12.439
of training done , the command team

02:12.439 --> 02:12.300
have gone out of their way to make sure

02:12.300 --> 02:14.522
we're engaged on something every single

02:14.522 --> 02:16.467
day . There's not a day we've been

02:16.467 --> 02:20.089
bored . We have a

02:20.089 --> 02:22.200
desire to deploy . We want to get out

02:22.200 --> 02:24.422
there . We're ready . We're growing our

02:24.422 --> 02:26.645
fluency . We're growing our readiness ,

02:26.645 --> 02:28.690
but there is a strong desire for

02:28.690 --> 02:30.949
Marines to get out into theater

02:31.610 --> 02:34.419
alongside our active counterparts . The

02:34.419 --> 02:36.610
Marines of 4th MLG are combat ready .
