1 00:00:26,630 --> 00:00:28,797 Consistent with the vision laid out by 2 00:00:28,797 --> 00:00:30,852 the Commandant's Planning Guidance , 3 00:00:30,852 --> 00:00:33,160 the Marine Corps is moving towards a more 4 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,500 sustained and agile capability and 5 00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:37,889 distributed operations. 6 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,700 The roadmap that we've been taking is 7 00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:44,589 beginning with things like simply 8 00:00:44,589 --> 00:00:46,367 getting our Marine Wing Support Squadron 9 00:00:46,367 --> 00:00:48,990 Marines qualified in simply 10 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,810 doing hot refueling on an F-16 or an F-35A 11 00:00:51,810 --> 00:00:55,720 or an F-22 . We try to seize every 12 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,887 opportunity that we're doing something 13 00:00:57,887 --> 00:01:01,020 with the Navy with the Air Force to use 14 00:01:01,020 --> 00:01:03,076 that as a learning opportunity and a 15 00:01:03,076 --> 00:01:05,187 training opportunity with the desired 16 00:01:05,187 --> 00:01:07,020 end state being that we can land 17 00:01:07,020 --> 00:01:09,280 anywhere in this AOR . And be 18 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,500 rearmed and refueled and anyone can land here. 19 00:01:14,910 --> 00:01:17,670 Right Now, VMU-3 we're flying the remote piloted RQ-21 blackjack 20 00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:20,300 and we're in the process 21 00:01:20,300 --> 00:01:23,260 of transitioning to the MQ-9A. 22 00:01:23,470 --> 00:01:26,140 And really where we see ourselves going 23 00:01:26,150 --> 00:01:29,020 is to be a flying sensor as well as a 24 00:01:29,020 --> 00:01:31,880 com relay and an information relay for 25 00:01:31,890 --> 00:01:33,834 really everybody across the battle space. 26 00:01:33,834 --> 00:01:36,090 There wasn't a huge spotlight 27 00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:38,630 on machinists and welding as there was today. 28 00:01:38,630 --> 00:01:40,830 Especially with the support of 29 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,951 additive manufacturing, there's more 30 00:01:42,951 --> 00:01:45,007 spotlight on subtracted and additive 31 00:01:45,007 --> 00:01:47,118 manufacturing allowing us to purchase 32 00:01:47,118 --> 00:01:49,007 these items and these machines to 33 00:01:49,007 --> 00:01:51,250 create more and more complex parts and 34 00:01:51,250 --> 00:01:53,306 that allows us to accomplish more of the mission. 35 00:01:53,306 --> 00:01:55,810 The Mobile User Objective System 36 00:01:55,810 --> 00:01:58,360 or MOUS. It's quick and easy to 37 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,450 employ and deploy. It allows us to 38 00:02:00,460 --> 00:02:02,404 disaggregate our fires and C-2 capabilities. 39 00:02:02,404 --> 00:02:04,293 So not only can we 40 00:02:04,293 --> 00:02:06,940 survive but we can target enemy forces 41 00:02:06,950 --> 00:02:09,410 quicker and cut down the time it takes 42 00:02:09,410 --> 00:02:11,270 us to actually call for fire and 43 00:02:11,270 --> 00:02:12,750 provide support. 44 00:02:15,940 --> 00:02:19,240 We go and transition from competition 45 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,351 and conflict with the pacing threat. 46 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,773 This fight is going to be a joint fight. 47 00:02:25,940 --> 00:02:28,020 We have to be able to work with the 48 00:02:28,020 --> 00:02:30,131 Japanese.
