1
00:00:02,740 --> 00:00:06,040
right , yeah . 

2
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,510
Ron Alvarado , Staff sergeant in the 

3
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:15,760
platoon sergeant 15 bravo company . 

4
00:00:16,140 --> 00:00:18,307
Today we did a company level attack on 

5
00:00:18,307 --> 00:00:21,670
range 400 with combined assets with a 

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,520
cat 80 one's sixties as well as heavy 

7
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,180
machine guns and medium machine guns on 

8
00:00:27,180 --> 00:00:30,320
a dug in enemy and 45 positions . I 

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,542
feel this training prepares us actually 

10
00:00:32,542 --> 00:00:34,653
critical thinkers in the moments that 

11
00:00:34,653 --> 00:00:36,709
uh you know , necessarily you have a 

12
00:00:36,709 --> 00:00:38,764
plan doesn't always work out . So we 

13
00:00:38,764 --> 00:00:41,042
have to flex and be able to , you know , 

14
00:00:41,042 --> 00:00:41,020
make the battle space in a way that 

15
00:00:41,020 --> 00:00:43,060
it's gonna benefit us and not 

16
00:00:43,060 --> 00:00:45,227
necessarily the enemy . I think we can 

17
00:00:45,227 --> 00:00:48,060
improve on when it comes to uh at times 

18
00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:50,390
the lower level PFC , understanding the 

19
00:00:50,390 --> 00:00:52,668
bigger picture when it comes to things . 

20
00:00:52,668 --> 00:00:54,779
So that way uh you know , even though 

21
00:00:54,779 --> 00:00:57,112
that a younger rank in the Marine Corps , 

22
00:00:57,112 --> 00:00:59,334
they have an understanding that's going 

23
00:00:59,334 --> 00:01:01,557
to be far exceed I think any other unit 

24
00:01:01,557 --> 00:01:03,723
when it comes to understanding fires , 

25
00:01:03,723 --> 00:01:05,890
indirect fires and how they pertain to 

26
00:01:05,890 --> 00:01:08,168
supporting our attack on the objective . 

27
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,160
Yeah . Mhm
