00:00.103 --> 00:02.604
- So, today we conducted a company-level,

00:02.604 --> 00:06.771
helicopter-borne raid of the Pacific Missile Range Facility

00:07.195 --> 00:08.923
on the island of Kauai.

00:08.923 --> 00:10.756
First part was secure.

00:11.635 --> 00:14.811
During that part, we secured an objective rally point,

00:14.811 --> 00:17.960
an ORP, dropped off packs and non-essential gear

00:17.960 --> 00:19.293
for the mission.

00:22.620 --> 00:24.923
- As R.O.K. Marines, our mission was

00:24.923 --> 00:28.287
to secure the landing zone and provide security

00:28.287 --> 00:31.448
for the other platoons to move into the objectives.

00:31.448 --> 00:33.216
- The platoon from Australia,

00:33.216 --> 00:35.174
as well as a platoon from Malaysia,

00:35.174 --> 00:37.758
they occupied isolation positions

00:37.758 --> 00:39.574
just south of the objective area.

00:39.574 --> 00:42.551
And my third, my third platoon, rifle platoon,

00:42.551 --> 00:44.762
made movement from the taxiway

00:44.762 --> 00:47.735
up through the treeline to the north,

00:47.735 --> 00:51.799
linked up with an eight-man team from Force Reconnaissance

00:51.799 --> 00:53.879
and made movement from east to west,

00:53.879 --> 00:55.451
clearing the objective area.

00:55.451 --> 00:58.535
But the overarching significance of this mission,

00:58.535 --> 01:00.433
and really all of our impact,

01:00.433 --> 01:04.295
that no matter what happens across the spectrum of warfare,

01:04.295 --> 01:06.831
any of the operations other than war,

01:06.831 --> 01:08.271
whether it's armed conflict,

01:08.271 --> 01:10.623
all the way down to humanitarian assistance,

01:10.623 --> 01:14.790
no one nation within the Pacific AOR is gonna do it alone.
