1
00:00:03,070 --> 00:00:05,210
- So we're doing joint
operations with the Army,

2
00:00:05,210 --> 00:00:06,970
for an amphibious operation.

3
00:00:06,970 --> 00:00:09,400
And what we're doing is we're
trying to make sure that

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,300
the HIMARS artillery rocket system,

5
00:00:12,300 --> 00:00:14,360
that it fits on the naval vessels.

6
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,750
The importance of this
operation is so we can make sure

7
00:00:16,750 --> 00:00:19,440
that we are utilizing
our joint capabilities

8
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,400
and the flexibility that's needed inside

9
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,270
of the INDOPACOM area.

10
00:00:23,270 --> 00:00:25,320
In the artillery community
we have the flexibility

11
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,260
of supporting any part of the MAGTF.

12
00:00:27,260 --> 00:00:28,520
If you need help, we're willing

13
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,550
to take the call and be able to help

14
00:00:30,550 --> 00:00:33,080
and provide support by fire, so if you're

15
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,860
in trouble we're able to support you

16
00:00:34,860 --> 00:00:36,910
to get you out of it.

17
00:00:36,910 --> 00:00:38,960
Any time we have an ability to work with

18
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,720
the sister services, practice any type

19
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,100
of capability that you're trying

20
00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:45,510
to bring onto the battle field.

21
00:00:45,510 --> 00:00:48,800
It's important and very beneficial

22
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,670
every single time you can get as many sets

23
00:00:50,670 --> 00:00:53,943
and reps that you can to
practice those capabilities.
