1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:04,130 --> 00:00:06,019 we were training in this jungle . 3 00:00:06,019 --> 00:00:07,963 Should we be ready to fight in any 4 00:00:07,963 --> 00:00:11,080 jungle ? It's up to us . 5 00:00:14,940 --> 00:00:16,996 We need to be able to thrive in this 6 00:00:16,996 --> 00:00:17,996 environment . Oh 7 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,096 the future of the MEg is gonna be to 8 00:00:26,096 --> 00:00:27,984 help provide that unity of effort 9 00:00:27,984 --> 00:00:30,207 within the information maneuver space . 10 00:00:30,207 --> 00:00:32,740 Our entire purpose is to be able to 11 00:00:32,740 --> 00:00:35,240 know our enemy's capabilities and be 12 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,720 able to operate in a degraded 13 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,660 environment that we're likely to have . 14 00:00:41,130 --> 00:00:43,890 We've had the luxury of not being in a 15 00:00:43,890 --> 00:00:46,420 peer fight for so long . We need to now 16 00:00:46,420 --> 00:00:48,531 know that if we're gonna fight with a 17 00:00:48,531 --> 00:00:50,753 near pier , they're gonna have the same 18 00:00:50,753 --> 00:00:54,310 capabilities we have kill changes . The 19 00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:56,420 concept that the joint force has had 20 00:00:56,430 --> 00:00:58,630 for some time now and it's the idea of 21 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,751 you have to orient on something , you 22 00:01:00,751 --> 00:01:02,918 sense something , you detect something 23 00:01:02,918 --> 00:01:04,973 in the operational environment . The 24 00:01:04,973 --> 00:01:07,196 making sense now is how can we interact 25 00:01:07,196 --> 00:01:09,307 with actually relate to it . And then 26 00:01:09,307 --> 00:01:11,473 once you've sensed you've made sense , 27 00:01:11,473 --> 00:01:13,850 you can now facilitate action . How do 28 00:01:13,850 --> 00:01:16,072 we want to relate to this thing ? Do we 29 00:01:16,072 --> 00:01:18,410 want to try to influence what this 30 00:01:18,410 --> 00:01:20,466 thing is doing or what this thing we 31 00:01:20,466 --> 00:01:22,521 think is about to do . Do we want to 32 00:01:22,521 --> 00:01:24,632 disrupt that ? Do we want to deny its 33 00:01:24,632 --> 00:01:26,632 ability to do that ? That's what we 34 00:01:26,632 --> 00:01:28,370 enable the MEF commander to do 35 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,550 the expeditionary control node concept 36 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,296 that the MIG has developed and we've 37 00:01:36,296 --> 00:01:38,680 operationalized the concept of the last 38 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,750 year is really the idea that on behalf 39 00:01:41,750 --> 00:01:45,450 of the MEF commander and his staff . We 40 00:01:45,450 --> 00:01:48,200 can assure his ability to command and 41 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,890 control through the generation of a 42 00:01:50,890 --> 00:01:54,670 mobile , survivable agile 43 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,680 capability that can be mounted , 44 00:01:57,690 --> 00:02:01,390 mobilized and moved wherever on this 45 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,160 island you need to get to in order to 46 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,810 increase survivability , enhance 47 00:02:06,810 --> 00:02:09,590 effectiveness in austere environments . 48 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,290 The terrain here in Okinawa is very 49 00:02:12,290 --> 00:02:14,623 applicable . So if you can operate here , 50 00:02:14,623 --> 00:02:16,850 if you can communicate here , if you 51 00:02:16,850 --> 00:02:20,090 can function here and the terrain and 52 00:02:20,090 --> 00:02:22,690 the weather environment and you can 53 00:02:22,690 --> 00:02:24,920 overcome it more importantly than you 54 00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:27,142 can do it anywhere , this is exportable 55 00:02:27,340 --> 00:02:31,160 all over the region . Those conducting 56 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,382 the training , they are going to enable 57 00:02:33,382 --> 00:02:35,104 us to survive in these austere 58 00:02:35,104 --> 00:02:36,993 conditions . Whether it be in the 59 00:02:36,993 --> 00:02:38,827 jungle , whether it be in amount 60 00:02:38,827 --> 00:02:41,049 environment , they will be prepared for 61 00:02:41,049 --> 00:02:43,160 anything . Every ounce of sweat spent 62 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,104 on training is less blood spent in 63 00:02:45,104 --> 00:02:47,160 actual if we go into conflict , were 64 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,993 literally here to stand in until 65 00:02:48,993 --> 00:02:50,938 somebody comes to replace us . Our 66 00:02:50,938 --> 00:02:52,938 entire purpose is to make sure that 67 00:02:52,938 --> 00:02:53,960 this place is ready for when they do
