(singing and clapping)

00:04.561 --> 00:06.667
- The USS Ingrid ported in Sri Lanka,

00:06.667 --> 00:08.163
where the female engagement
team interacted with

00:08.163 --> 00:11.746
the Sri Lankan Navy
female service members.

00:13.069 --> 00:15.035
The female engagement team is comprised of

00:15.035 --> 00:16.951
female marines from all different jobs

00:16.951 --> 00:18.967
and units throughout the Marine Corps.

00:18.967 --> 00:22.136
During the engagement, we
taught them detaining handling,

00:22.136 --> 00:23.915
we taught them combat life-saving skills,

00:23.915 --> 00:25.243
and we also taught them techniques

00:25.243 --> 00:27.941
from the Marine Corps
martial arts program.

00:27.941 --> 00:29.527
It was a great opportunity
to share our training

00:29.527 --> 00:31.595
with them as well as building comradery

00:31.595 --> 00:33.543
and strengthening our relationships.

00:33.543 --> 00:35.100
During the combat life-savers training

00:35.100 --> 00:37.803
I was able to teach the Sri
Lankan Navy female service

00:37.803 --> 00:39.883
members how to use a
training kit properly,

00:39.883 --> 00:43.564
which could potentially
save someone's life one day.

00:43.564 --> 00:46.885
- A tourniquet stops
any major hemorrhaging

00:46.885 --> 00:50.923
in any limb, so your legs or your arms.

00:50.923 --> 00:52.550
I think the female engagement team

00:52.550 --> 00:55.396
and the Sri Lankan females
built a lot more trust

00:55.396 --> 00:58.867
because it was something
new for both of us.

00:58.867 --> 01:01.218
I think the female
engagement team really helped

01:01.218 --> 01:04.635
build relationships with the Sri Lankans.
