00:02.780 --> 00:03.170
Mhm .

00:11.130 --> 00:15.090
We have some members of weapons

00:15.090 --> 00:17.320
training battalion at Quantico . Uh

00:17.330 --> 00:19.590
They are oh 3 17 Scott snipers .

00:19.600 --> 00:22.530
They've come to 29 palms to increase

00:22.540 --> 00:24.920
the lethality and proficiency of our

00:24.930 --> 00:27.310
designated marksman or DM with the Mark

00:27.310 --> 00:30.780
13 and M 1 10 Sas . This will enable

00:30.790 --> 00:32.901
the infantry rifle company to be more

00:32.901 --> 00:34.610
independent going forward .

00:38.060 --> 00:40.050
Essentially , you're gonna take a

00:40.050 --> 00:42.330
precision weapon and have that at that

00:42.330 --> 00:45.140
company commander's disposal based off

00:45.150 --> 00:47.900
the task and the mission we are trying

00:47.900 --> 00:50.233
to get after the best way to crack that .

00:50.233 --> 00:52.233
So we have the mobile training team

00:52.233 --> 00:54.344
providing the formal instruction . Um

00:54.344 --> 00:56.344
We did that last week and now since

00:56.344 --> 00:58.511
last Thursday , we've been out here on

00:58.511 --> 01:00.622
the range , firing the M 1 10 Sas and

01:00.622 --> 01:01.570
the Mark 13 .

01:06.210 --> 01:08.321
So basically this training is to make

01:08.321 --> 01:10.580
the basic 03 11 rifleman into a

01:10.580 --> 01:12.802
designated marksman . So we can be able

01:12.802 --> 01:14.858
to use a more precision weapon to be

01:14.858 --> 01:16.691
able to engage targets at longer

01:16.691 --> 01:20.410
distances . Got

01:20.410 --> 01:23.190
snipers are being taken away . So

01:23.200 --> 01:25.144
Disney marksmen are filling in for

01:25.144 --> 01:27.200
their positions in each platoon . So

01:27.200 --> 01:29.367
basically , instead of having a sniper

01:29.367 --> 01:31.420
platoon attached to each unit , um

01:31.430 --> 01:33.597
they're gonna have designated marksman

01:33.597 --> 01:35.652
already in the units . Don't have to

01:35.652 --> 01:37.874
attach snipers to the units are already

01:37.874 --> 01:37.860
there and they're able to be one whole

01:37.860 --> 01:39.693
unit not to attach anyone having

01:39.693 --> 01:43.320
attachments to them . You know , war

01:43.320 --> 01:45.598
and conflict is always going to happen .

01:45.598 --> 01:47.820
But it's how we , it's how we get after

01:47.820 --> 01:50.042
it . You know what I'm saying ? So this

01:50.042 --> 01:52.153
is just part of our evolution process

01:52.153 --> 01:54.264
as a Marine Corps , um , on how we're

01:54.264 --> 01:56.376
gonna best tackle the next conflict .

01:56.376 --> 01:58.598
And we need to make sure that we're not

01:58.598 --> 02:00.764
being stagnant as a service . And this

02:00.764 --> 02:00.210
is just one of the ways that we're

02:00.210 --> 02:04.150
getting after , after evolving to make

02:04.150 --> 02:06.206
sure that we're positioned for , you

02:06.206 --> 02:07.150
know , the next conflict .
