1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,240 I don't know , 2 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:11,160 mhm , mhm mm . 3 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,280 So raven is the certification exercise 4 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,391 for Marine Special Operations Company 5 00:00:22,391 --> 00:00:24,502 prior to deployment . The benefits of 6 00:00:24,502 --> 00:00:26,169 doing raven is it gives us an 7 00:00:26,169 --> 00:00:29,170 opportunity to conduct as realistic of 8 00:00:29,170 --> 00:00:31,337 training as we can . So we do it in an 9 00:00:31,337 --> 00:00:34,370 environment that is very much free play 10 00:00:34,380 --> 00:00:37,520 and it really gives the opportunity to 11 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,450 compress a four or six month deployment 12 00:00:40,460 --> 00:00:43,070 into a matter of a few days . And so 13 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,110 it's gonna , it's gonna test and 14 00:00:45,110 --> 00:00:47,620 validate every piece of training that 15 00:00:47,620 --> 00:00:49,564 has gotten a company to this point 16 00:00:49,564 --> 00:00:52,580 prior to going on the deployment . So 17 00:00:52,580 --> 00:00:54,636 in regards to having uh marines from 18 00:00:54,636 --> 00:00:56,747 the fleet come out here and work with 19 00:00:56,747 --> 00:00:58,747 us at the exercise , I think it's a 20 00:00:58,747 --> 00:01:00,358 really great opportunity for 21 00:01:00,358 --> 00:01:02,469 integration and collaboration between 22 00:01:02,469 --> 00:01:04,636 soft and conventional forces because I 23 00:01:04,636 --> 00:01:06,358 mean if you look at any of the 24 00:01:06,358 --> 00:01:08,358 operating environments that we find 25 00:01:08,358 --> 00:01:10,413 ourselves in across the world , it's 26 00:01:10,413 --> 00:01:12,469 not just soft or conventional forces 27 00:01:12,469 --> 00:01:14,691 doing a mission most of the time , it's 28 00:01:14,691 --> 00:01:14,670 a collaborative effort in some form or 29 00:01:14,670 --> 00:01:17,100 fashion . So this kind of interaction 30 00:01:17,110 --> 00:01:19,310 at raven gives an opportunity for 31 00:01:19,310 --> 00:01:21,370 conventional forces to kind of get a 32 00:01:21,370 --> 00:01:23,426 better understanding of what soft is 33 00:01:23,426 --> 00:01:25,537 going to bring to the battlefield and 34 00:01:25,537 --> 00:01:27,759 vice versa . Hey you like flight , hold 35 00:01:27,759 --> 00:01:31,670 your fire , I go go through 36 00:01:31,670 --> 00:01:35,080 him . Moscow has really been showing us 37 00:01:35,740 --> 00:01:38,010 basic and advanced infantry tactics . 38 00:01:38,020 --> 00:01:39,798 They have really showed us more 39 00:01:39,798 --> 00:01:42,050 advanced tactics like in raids , L 40 00:01:42,050 --> 00:01:45,220 shaped ambush is clearing buildings and 41 00:01:45,220 --> 00:01:47,470 has really showed us how much better of 42 00:01:47,470 --> 00:01:49,637 instrument you can be by training with 43 00:01:49,637 --> 00:01:52,720 special forces by Marcelo teaching us 44 00:01:52,730 --> 00:01:54,841 and myself in the squad leader . They 45 00:01:54,841 --> 00:01:57,063 have shown me a lot of advanced tactics 46 00:01:57,063 --> 00:02:00,030 in clearing rooms and with raids on 47 00:02:00,030 --> 00:02:03,310 buildings and I can now give that to 48 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,431 the marines under my charge so we can 49 00:02:05,431 --> 00:02:07,653 keep teaching these skills that we have 50 00:02:07,653 --> 00:02:09,930 acquired from our side . I think that 51 00:02:09,930 --> 00:02:11,986 this exercise is better equipment to 52 00:02:11,986 --> 00:02:13,986 become a better team leader because 53 00:02:13,986 --> 00:02:16,097 it's put me in positions that I'm not 54 00:02:16,097 --> 00:02:18,319 comfortable with and that I am not very 55 00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:20,486 familiar with . So I am learning a lot 56 00:02:20,486 --> 00:02:22,430 more different things and I'm more 57 00:02:22,430 --> 00:02:24,652 comfortable with getting into positions 58 00:02:24,652 --> 00:02:26,541 that are normally in . So I think 59 00:02:26,541 --> 00:02:28,541 that's made me stronger and able to 60 00:02:28,541 --> 00:02:30,763 adapt to any situation . You never know 61 00:02:30,763 --> 00:02:32,874 what kind of mission you're gonna get 62 00:02:32,874 --> 00:02:34,874 in combat . It could be a raid , it 63 00:02:34,874 --> 00:02:37,041 could be attacking in the offense that 64 00:02:37,041 --> 00:02:39,097 could be attacking the defense . And 65 00:02:39,097 --> 00:02:41,319 Marshak has really increased our skills 66 00:02:41,319 --> 00:02:43,597 and our illegality in the battle space . 67 00:02:43,597 --> 00:02:45,290 Mhm . Mhm . You put it .
