I

00:08.449 --> 00:11.119
exercise was designed to evaluate and

00:11.130 --> 00:13.297
certify communication marines from the

00:13.297 --> 00:15.899
battalion to attach to the 31st marine

00:15.909 --> 00:18.290

00:18.299 --> 00:20.610
enabler platoon which provides calm

00:20.620 --> 00:23.530
support to the 31st Muse command

00:23.540 --> 00:24.540
element .

00:32.060 --> 00:33.949
The purpose of this communication

00:33.949 --> 00:36.116
exercise is to test marines on their M

00:36.116 --> 00:38.349
OS proficiency and how they're able to

00:38.490 --> 00:41.029
overcome and adapt in the field so that

00:41.040 --> 00:43.262
we're able to prepare for the chop over

00:43.262 --> 00:45.200
to the 31st marine expedition .

00:49.790 --> 00:51.734
The importance of training the way

00:51.734 --> 00:53.734
we're training right now with third

00:53.734 --> 00:55.901
gear in the environment we're training

00:55.901 --> 00:58.659
in um with the the extra stress of

00:58.669 --> 01:01.409
doing patrols . Um Being part of fire

01:01.419 --> 01:05.150
teams that actually go out secure areas

01:05.379 --> 01:07.629
is that we're trying to train how we're

01:07.639 --> 01:09.690
going to fight like we always talk

01:09.699 --> 01:11.930
about is that when you're in the actual

01:11.940 --> 01:14.218
environment , you will have to do that .

01:14.218 --> 01:16.218
You're not always going to have the

01:16.218 --> 01:18.440
squad of infantrymen to cover for you .

01:18.440 --> 01:20.496
You'll actually need to pick up your

01:20.496 --> 01:22.329
rifle and provide that defensive

01:22.329 --> 01:24.384
position while the other marines are

01:24.384 --> 01:26.384
able to set up their communications

01:26.449 --> 01:26.779
