1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,840 Mhm . Yeah . 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,450 The enemy has a vote . Yes , he's smart , 3 00:00:09,420 --> 00:00:13,180 he's training , he's coming for us . So 4 00:00:13,180 --> 00:00:14,958 we need to prepare like he is . 5 00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:20,140 Yeah , yeah , 6 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,520 yeah . Be just training adds to the 7 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,430 overall value of the marine corps 8 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,218 because it's investing time and 9 00:00:30,218 --> 00:00:32,329 resources into the small unit leaders 10 00:00:32,329 --> 00:00:34,650 of sergeants and corporals using the 11 00:00:34,650 --> 00:00:37,060 resources of Sessoms gear , the jungle 12 00:00:37,070 --> 00:00:38,737 combat town , putting them an 13 00:00:38,737 --> 00:00:40,681 environment with her uncomfortable 14 00:00:40,681 --> 00:00:42,848 training they haven't received . We're 15 00:00:42,848 --> 00:00:44,959 putting them in a kinetic environment 16 00:00:44,959 --> 00:00:47,070 that forces them to lead , to step up 17 00:00:47,070 --> 00:00:49,126 to think about all the contingencies 18 00:00:49,126 --> 00:00:51,348 that go into combat . I think that will 19 00:00:51,348 --> 00:00:53,459 produce the dividends of what we want 20 00:00:53,459 --> 00:00:55,292 to see in the next generation of 21 00:00:55,292 --> 00:00:58,360 leaders . He put 22 00:00:58,740 --> 00:01:01,530 55 Marines through a grinder of 23 00:01:01,540 --> 00:01:04,940 decisions . The uncertainty . Chaos . 24 00:01:04,940 --> 00:01:07,162 The fog of war was evident constantly . 25 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,562 Psychological and physical and 26 00:01:10,562 --> 00:01:12,880 emotional . I think that is setting us 27 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,047 up probably more so for a peer on peer 28 00:01:15,047 --> 00:01:17,520 threat . What makes a marine corps fire 29 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,409 team lethal ? Is that confident , 30 00:01:19,409 --> 00:01:21,620 trained , aggressive corporal ? He's 31 00:01:21,620 --> 00:01:23,787 got three other marines . You give him 32 00:01:23,787 --> 00:01:25,898 a task and purpose . You give him the 33 00:01:25,898 --> 00:01:28,064 ability to achieve the end state . And 34 00:01:28,064 --> 00:01:29,898 I think , uh , will surprise you 35 00:01:29,898 --> 00:01:32,009 properly trained . He's been prepared 36 00:01:32,009 --> 00:01:33,898 for combat . You put the decision 37 00:01:33,898 --> 00:01:35,820 making in their court and I think 38 00:01:35,830 --> 00:01:38,052 you'll see what the N . C . O . Cordial 39 00:01:38,052 --> 00:01:38,650 are made of .
