1
00:00:00,422 --> 00:00:04,073
(helicopter whirring)

2
00:00:04,073 --> 00:00:06,823
(militant music)

3
00:00:10,670 --> 00:00:12,190
- [2nd LT McNamara] So
the point of this exercise

4
00:00:12,190 --> 00:00:15,550
was for Kilo Company to
reinforce the US Consulate

5
00:00:15,550 --> 00:00:18,610
in order to support
the Department of State

6
00:00:18,610 --> 00:00:20,740
and add secure key terrain

7
00:00:20,740 --> 00:00:23,364
to (mumbles) operations for the battalion.

8
00:00:23,364 --> 00:00:25,455
(militant music)

9
00:00:25,455 --> 00:00:26,680
We had actors in the town.

10
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,430
Their role was to provide
a more realistic feel

11
00:00:29,430 --> 00:00:30,630
in the (mumbles) town

12
00:00:30,630 --> 00:00:33,310
and also provide some
stress for the Marines

13
00:00:33,310 --> 00:00:36,640
that they're likely to
encounter within country

14
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,343
later on this year with our deployment.

15
00:00:38,343 --> 00:00:42,475
(Army personnel yelling)

16
00:00:42,475 --> 00:00:46,330
(man speaking Arabic)

17
00:00:46,330 --> 00:00:47,670
- So initially coming to the town,

18
00:00:47,670 --> 00:00:50,690
the Marines face a lot of
hostility from the actors.

19
00:00:50,690 --> 00:00:52,850
As we went on, they
face a lot of adversity.

20
00:00:52,850 --> 00:00:54,730
They encounter a couple IVs,

21
00:00:54,730 --> 00:00:57,230
we also had some Marines
out her plan an opp four.

22
00:00:58,290 --> 00:00:59,870
Those guys increase the stress,

23
00:00:59,870 --> 00:01:01,460
not necessarily hostile actors,

24
00:01:01,460 --> 00:01:03,750
but definitely just
guys thrown into the mix

25
00:01:03,750 --> 00:01:06,110
to make sure we're kept on our toes.

26
00:01:06,110 --> 00:01:08,620
Subsequently, the actors or the Marine

27
00:01:08,620 --> 00:01:11,130
kind of counter-planned to throw at us

28
00:01:11,130 --> 00:01:12,940
to continue to make us develop our

29
00:01:12,940 --> 00:01:16,691
decision making, update our
med-TC, and find a new solution.

30
00:01:16,691 --> 00:01:19,441
(militant music)

31
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:22,480
The Marines did a great job today

32
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,310
being very flexible.

33
00:01:24,310 --> 00:01:26,463
Definitely be proud of
the Marines Kilo Company.

34
00:01:27,561 --> 00:01:30,311
(militant music)
