00:12.940 --> 00:15.750
purpose for mountain warfare training

00:15.750 --> 00:17.806
one Tag 23 is to build the technical

00:17.806 --> 00:20.330
skills that are required for infantry ,

00:20.330 --> 00:22.441
unit and battalion and other units to

00:22.441 --> 00:25.720
be able to operate in austere terrain

00:26.040 --> 00:28.310
since 17 75 marines have always been

00:28.310 --> 00:30.032
able to conduct sustainability

00:30.032 --> 00:32.254
operations . The difference now is that

00:32.460 --> 00:35.180
in an evolving technological world ,

00:35.190 --> 00:37.023
our capabilities and the enemy's

00:37.023 --> 00:39.079
capabilities , we have to understand

00:39.079 --> 00:41.134
what they can do to our capabilities

00:41.134 --> 00:43.357
and how they're going to exploit . That

00:43.357 --> 00:45.523
is just really understanding like what

00:45.523 --> 00:47.468
we're doing , how much water we're

00:47.468 --> 00:49.579
taking in , how much food is required

00:49.579 --> 00:52.050
are battery consumption with all the

00:52.050 --> 00:54.272
technology now is like how are we gonna

00:54.272 --> 00:57.260
be able to recharge and continue to

00:57.260 --> 00:59.600
fight with that type of asset ? You

00:59.600 --> 01:01.870
could be on a completely different

01:01.870 --> 01:04.037
terrain feature on the other side of a

01:04.037 --> 01:06.280
mountain and you might not have actual

01:06.280 --> 01:08.530
com assets to reach back to battalion ,

01:08.540 --> 01:10.707
even if you're in a defensive position

01:10.707 --> 01:13.300
or in a patrol base that that

01:13.300 --> 01:15.356
information flow getting down to the

01:15.356 --> 01:17.356
lowest unit and understanding where

01:17.356 --> 01:19.467
everybody's at and what they're doing

01:19.467 --> 01:22.010
is crucial for effective operations

01:22.010 --> 01:23.370
throughout the mountainous terrain .
