WEBVTT 00:05.550 --> 00:07.772 Marines with first marine expeditionary 00:07.772 --> 00:09.939 force have made their way to Australia 00:09.939 --> 00:12.420 for marine rotational force . Darwin 23 00:12.529 --> 00:14.362 marine rotational force . Darwin 00:14.362 --> 00:17.270 started March 2023 will continue until 00:17.280 --> 00:20.319 October 2023 . Roughly 00:20.329 --> 00:22.850 2500 marines have been deployed to the 00:22.860 --> 00:25.082 12th cycle to marine rotational force . 00:25.082 --> 00:27.082 Darwin and will be working with the 00:27.082 --> 00:29.082 Australian Defense Force during the 00:29.082 --> 00:31.249 deployment . Marine rotational force . 00:31.249 --> 00:33.138 Darwin enhances us and Australian 00:33.138 --> 00:34.819 interoperability by improving 00:34.830 --> 00:36.549 responsiveness to crisis and 00:36.560 --> 00:38.930 contingencies , increasing combined war 00:38.939 --> 00:41.220 fighting capabilities and strengthening 00:41.229 --> 00:43.229 alliances and partnerships . Marine 00:43.229 --> 00:45.340 rotational force . Darwin consists of 00:45.340 --> 00:47.507 live fire exercises , aerial refueling 00:47.507 --> 00:49.340 exercises , combat casualty care 00:49.340 --> 00:51.507 exercises and more to learn more about 00:51.507 --> 00:53.673 marine rotational force . Darwin 23 or 00:53.673 --> 00:56.240 previous iterations visit marines dot 00:56.250 --> 00:56.549 Mil .
