00:00:08,026 --> 00:00:09,613
(birds chirping)

3
00:00:09,613 --> 00:00:12,912
(water running)

4
00:00:12,912 --> 00:00:15,650
(intense music)

5
00:00:15,650 --> 00:00:17,210
- IQ's an internal qualification course

6
00:00:17,210 --> 00:00:19,070
that we're using for instructors

7
00:00:19,070 --> 00:00:21,780
to get them sped up on
all the main requirements

8
00:00:21,780 --> 00:00:22,870
to be getting instructor up here

9
00:00:22,870 --> 00:00:25,700
to help out the Marine
reinforce with training

10
00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:26,973
through operations.

11
00:00:29,310 --> 00:00:30,860
- [Narrator 2] The main points
that we try and teach them

12
00:00:30,860 --> 00:00:32,786
are how to survive up here, firstly,

13
00:00:32,786 --> 00:00:35,600
and how to move, whether
on skis or snowshoes,

14
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:36,770
and then how to fight for those

15
00:00:36,770 --> 00:00:39,213
that are gonna go with
the unit training section.

16
00:00:41,370 --> 00:00:42,810
- Every little thing that happens

17
00:00:42,810 --> 00:00:44,590
up that mountain can hurt you.

18
00:00:44,590 --> 00:00:46,260
Everything you do up here, it takes time.

19
00:00:46,260 --> 00:00:48,780
This place just brings
out the flaws in everyone,

20
00:00:48,780 --> 00:00:49,860
and you can identify those flaws

21
00:00:49,860 --> 00:00:51,120
and make yourself stronger.

22
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,710
Intense your body, intense
your mind and intense your unit

23
00:00:53,710 --> 00:00:56,229
to toughen up that much more.

24
00:00:56,229 --> 00:00:58,896
(intense music)

25
00:01:05,070 --> 00:01:06,830
To move up here is an art.

26
00:01:06,830 --> 00:01:08,540
In a battlefield, in this situation,

27
00:01:08,540 --> 00:01:09,600
if you can move ahead of your enemy,

28
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,410
keep that oomph, move faster than his

29
00:01:11,410 --> 00:01:12,860
You can dominate him up here.

30
00:01:13,730 --> 00:01:16,397
(intense music)

31
00:01:28,608 --> 00:01:29,520
- The depth and the amount
of snow that we have

32
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,460
being this close to the Pacific Ocean

33
00:01:31,460 --> 00:01:32,750
the Sierra Nevada is right here

34
00:01:32,750 --> 00:01:34,190
as well as the cold temperature

35
00:01:34,190 --> 00:01:36,320
it replicates some of the worst conditions

36
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:38,220
the Marines will have experienced up here

37
00:01:38,220 --> 00:01:39,430
so they get to

38
00:01:39,430 --> 00:01:41,990
practice moving around,
practice sustaining themselves

39
00:01:41,990 --> 00:01:45,307
practice fighting against other
thinking adversaries up here

40
00:01:45,307 --> 00:01:47,630
brings a lot of unique
challenges that they don't

41
00:01:47,630 --> 00:01:49,030
experience if they are
fighting in a desert

42
00:01:49,030 --> 00:01:51,373
fighting on a flat grounds
or fighting in general.
