WEBVTT 00:16.110 --> 00:18.649 My favorite memory from working with 00:18.659 --> 00:20.959 the 31st is when we were able to use 00:20.969 --> 00:23.191 all the crisis response capability that 00:23.191 --> 00:25.950 we trained so hard to develop in action 00:25.959 --> 00:28.292 in a real world crisis response mission . 00:28.292 --> 00:30.237 That's when there's a volcano that 00:30.237 --> 00:32.237 erupted in the autonomous region of 00:32.237 --> 00:34.459 Bougainville , Papua , New Guinea . And 00:34.459 --> 00:36.570 with very little notice just a couple 00:36.570 --> 00:38.737 of days , we were able to redirect the 00:38.737 --> 00:40.959 ships get offshore and start supporting 00:40.959 --> 00:43.181 the people that had been evacuated from 00:43.181 --> 00:45.292 their homes , providing them critical 00:45.292 --> 00:47.459 supplies . Over the course of about 10 00:47.459 --> 00:47.250 days , 00:56.310 --> 00:58.770 the 31st me , we were able to partner 00:58.779 --> 01:00.669 with the Japanese , the Koreans , 01:00.680 --> 01:02.902 Philippines , Australia and a number of 01:02.902 --> 01:05.069 NATO partners . And every time we work 01:05.069 --> 01:06.458 with them , we build our 01:06.458 --> 01:08.680 interoperability and we're also able to 01:08.680 --> 01:10.791 demonstrate resolve that assures them 01:10.791 --> 01:12.902 that we're going to be with them in a 01:12.902 --> 01:11.650 time . 01:28.069 --> 01:30.379 Both command teams that have been here 01:30.389 --> 01:32.889 over my time here , Colonel N and Easy 01:32.900 --> 01:35.349 and S Major Smith and Colonel Danner 01:35.360 --> 01:37.620 and S major peoples . Those four 01:37.629 --> 01:41.010 gentlemen are 100% all in 01:41.019 --> 01:43.230 devoted to the mission of this 01:43.239 --> 01:46.464 organization and have loved and care 01:46.474 --> 01:48.641 about the marines and sailors assigned 01:48.641 --> 01:50.815 to this command as much as anybody in 01:50.824 --> 01:52.880 the Marine Corps I've ever met . And 01:52.880 --> 01:55.102 we've been very fortunate over the last 01:55.102 --> 01:56.991 3.5 years to have those two teams 01:56.991 --> 01:59.046 setting the environment for us to be 01:59.046 --> 02:00.046 able to succeed . 02:05.589 --> 02:07.220 31st , Mute departed .
