1
00:00:00,103 --> 00:00:02,604
- So, today we conducted a company-level,

2
00:00:02,604 --> 00:00:06,771
helicopter-borne raid of the Pacific Missile Range Facility

3
00:00:07,195 --> 00:00:08,923
on the island of Kauai.

4
00:00:08,923 --> 00:00:10,756
First part was secure.

5
00:00:11,635 --> 00:00:14,811
During that part, we secured an objective rally point,

6
00:00:14,811 --> 00:00:17,960
an ORP, dropped off packs and non-essential gear

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,293
for the mission.

8
00:00:22,620 --> 00:00:24,923
- As R.O.K. Marines, our mission was

9
00:00:24,923 --> 00:00:28,287
to secure the landing zone and provide security

10
00:00:28,287 --> 00:00:31,448
for the other platoons to move into the objectives.

11
00:00:31,448 --> 00:00:33,216
- The platoon from Australia,

12
00:00:33,216 --> 00:00:35,174
as well as a platoon from Malaysia,

13
00:00:35,174 --> 00:00:37,758
they occupied isolation positions

14
00:00:37,758 --> 00:00:39,574
just south of the objective area.

15
00:00:39,574 --> 00:00:42,551
And my third, my third platoon, rifle platoon,

16
00:00:42,551 --> 00:00:44,762
made movement from the taxiway

17
00:00:44,762 --> 00:00:47,735
up through the treeline to the north,

18
00:00:47,735 --> 00:00:51,799
linked up with an eight-man team from Force Reconnaissance

19
00:00:51,799 --> 00:00:53,879
and made movement from east to west,

20
00:00:53,879 --> 00:00:55,451
clearing the objective area.

21
00:00:55,451 --> 00:00:58,535
But the overarching significance of this mission,

22
00:00:58,535 --> 00:01:00,433
and really all of our impact,

23
00:01:00,433 --> 00:01:04,295
that no matter what happens across the spectrum of warfare,

24
00:01:04,295 --> 00:01:06,831
any of the operations other than war,

25
00:01:06,831 --> 00:01:08,271
whether it's armed conflict,

26
00:01:08,271 --> 00:01:10,623
all the way down to humanitarian assistance,

27
00:01:10,623 --> 00:01:14,790
no one nation within the Pacific AOR is gonna do it alone.
