00:02.890 --> 00:05.057
The whole purpose of being a marine is

00:05.057 --> 00:07.630
being lethal , deadly , capable and

00:07.630 --> 00:11.350
adaptive . That's why we won throughout

00:11.350 --> 00:15.160
history . I

00:15.160 --> 00:18.460
am fully on board and fully understand

00:18.460 --> 00:20.182
and agree with the concepts of

00:20.182 --> 00:22.349
information warfare and how technology

00:22.349 --> 00:25.730
is changing . But the nature of warfare

00:25.730 --> 00:29.620
is not changing . In the end ,

00:29.860 --> 00:32.550
it's gonna come down to a mean , well

00:32.550 --> 00:36.360
trained , unflinching marine getting it

00:36.360 --> 00:36.750
done .

00:41.560 --> 00:43.650
What we've learned is that the

00:43.650 --> 00:45.761
relationships that we've developed in

00:45.761 --> 00:49.730
the region over decades are paying off

00:49.740 --> 00:52.770
their reinforcing that incredibly

00:52.770 --> 00:55.290
important relationship between the US

00:55.300 --> 00:56.967
and our allies and partners .

00:59.640 --> 01:01.807
They unambiguously understand the need

01:02.160 --> 01:04.382
to stand shoulder to shoulder with us .

01:04.660 --> 01:06.827
Should we go into crisis of conflict ?

01:10.920 --> 01:13.087
What they came to find out is that our

01:13.087 --> 01:15.253
young marines , they know what they're

01:15.253 --> 01:17.531
doing . Young marines are well trained ,

01:17.531 --> 01:19.698
they understand what we want from them

01:19.698 --> 01:21.809
and all we have to do is take off the

01:21.809 --> 01:23.253
leash they're gonna fight

01:26.860 --> 01:29.030
as we look at an enemy force . One of

01:29.030 --> 01:31.030
the things we're very focused on is

01:31.030 --> 01:33.830
what capacity they have to move on a

01:33.830 --> 01:36.280
moment's notice without demonstrating

01:36.290 --> 01:38.457
indications and warnings that we might

01:38.457 --> 01:40.068
perceive about that movement

01:42.460 --> 01:44.650
force , we have is our contingency .

01:49.140 --> 01:51.362
We will be on the move before the enemy

01:51.362 --> 01:54.870
knows we made a decision . The ACM

01:54.870 --> 01:57.000
provides us decision time in order to

01:57.010 --> 01:58.954
think about that second move , our

01:58.954 --> 02:01.177
first move is ready to go on a moment's

02:01.177 --> 02:00.540
notice .

02:06.290 --> 02:08.570
How are we every day preparing

02:08.570 --> 02:11.310
ourselves for that ? 10 seconds ? So

02:11.310 --> 02:13.254
we're not just making a decision ,

02:13.254 --> 02:15.477
we're making the best decision and that

02:15.477 --> 02:17.643
decision puts the people that we fight

02:17.643 --> 02:19.754
with in the best position possible in

02:19.754 --> 02:21.866
order to win . And then you just turn

02:21.866 --> 02:22.866
loose .

02:29.770 --> 02:32.830
4th Marine Regiment is here and we will

02:32.830 --> 02:33.810
not be stopped .
