1 00:00:02,540 --> 00:00:06,540 Yeah , the large feel exercise 2 00:00:06,540 --> 00:00:08,660 that ties in the ship to shore 3 00:00:08,670 --> 00:00:11,360 amphibious operation portion of what we 4 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,850 do pretty perfectly . Mhm . 5 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,040 Well , what I tell people when Ocak is , 6 00:00:17,050 --> 00:00:18,939 it's uh , it's a non displacement 7 00:00:18,939 --> 00:00:21,050 vehicle , it rides on top of the wave 8 00:00:21,050 --> 00:00:23,050 about an inch off the ground and it 9 00:00:23,050 --> 00:00:25,161 allows us to carry around 100 tons of 10 00:00:25,161 --> 00:00:27,160 cargo from the ship to the beach . 11 00:00:31,140 --> 00:00:33,350 Elcock operations benefit them you 12 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,730 because when we do an offload , let's 13 00:00:35,730 --> 00:00:37,897 say we go somewhere and we need to get 14 00:00:37,897 --> 00:00:39,508 off the ship and in a pretty 15 00:00:39,508 --> 00:00:41,452 expeditious manner , they have the 16 00:00:41,452 --> 00:00:43,563 opportunity to get on a smaller craft 17 00:00:43,563 --> 00:00:45,730 drive in a more austere environment in 18 00:00:45,730 --> 00:00:48,008 locations they're probably not used to . 19 00:00:48,940 --> 00:00:51,350 So you can get places that most 20 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,471 conventional craft can . It allows us 21 00:00:53,471 --> 00:00:55,360 to reach about 70% of the world's 22 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,910 shores . And it's a fast method to 23 00:00:58,910 --> 00:01:01,021 get troops and cargo onto the beach . 24 00:01:03,540 --> 00:01:05,160 It's a big old hovercraft . 25 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,750 We need each other in order to be 26 00:01:14,750 --> 00:01:17,510 successful with ship to shore movement 27 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,750 with amphibious operations . We need 28 00:01:19,750 --> 00:01:23,520 each other to be able to do that . This 29 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,370 is just a good turn for the two 30 00:01:26,370 --> 00:01:28,370 services really to operate and work 31 00:01:28,370 --> 00:01:31,650 together . Just given us time to 32 00:01:32,140 --> 00:01:34,820 come together , work together uh 33 00:01:34,830 --> 00:01:37,070 integrate more with the Navy and be 34 00:01:37,070 --> 00:01:39,730 ready for what's to come because we've 35 00:01:39,730 --> 00:01:42,580 set that foundational relationship with 36 00:01:42,580 --> 00:01:45,130 our peers and our our shipmates 37 00:01:45,130 --> 00:01:46,260 essentially what they're going to be
