WEBVTT

00:11.409 --> 00:14.329
Operating in Cherry Point , uh , we

00:14.329 --> 00:16.440
don't get to do a lot of cold weather

00:16.440 --> 00:18.496
stuff doesn't happen very often . It

00:18.496 --> 00:20.496
was huge for us to not just do cold

00:20.496 --> 00:22.385
weather training but to try to go

00:22.385 --> 00:22.250
somewhere where we can work with our

00:22.250 --> 00:24.306
Canadian brothers and sisters . It's

00:24.306 --> 00:26.472
very important for the US military and

00:26.472 --> 00:28.639
Canadian military , uh , to be able to

00:28.639 --> 00:30.583
share tactics and be able to fight

00:30.583 --> 00:32.849
together when the flagpole comes up and

00:32.849 --> 00:34.960
we need to go , we're not ferrying it

00:34.960 --> 00:36.849
out on the fly like we've already

00:36.849 --> 00:38.849
worked with these guys , we already

00:38.849 --> 00:38.529
know how they operate , we know what

00:38.529 --> 00:40.251
their tactics are , and we can

00:40.251 --> 00:43.849
integrate seamlessly . We're able to go

00:44.069 --> 00:45.902
from Cherry Point all the way to

00:45.902 --> 00:47.736
Trenton and then we came over to

00:47.736 --> 00:49.958
Iceland . We went to Greenland and then

00:49.958 --> 00:51.902
we went all the way to alert and I

00:51.902 --> 00:54.069
think it was just very good experience

00:54.069 --> 00:56.125
for our Marines to go that far north

00:56.125 --> 00:55.740
and operate in those extreme

00:55.740 --> 00:58.779
temperatures got up to like -38 . So

00:58.779 --> 01:00.946
our main mission sets we worked on out

01:00.946 --> 01:03.112
here , combat assault transport . It's

01:03.112 --> 01:02.860
kind of our bread and butter moving

01:02.860 --> 01:04.916
people and things as we talked about

01:04.916 --> 01:07.339
like EABO island hopping , um , or just

01:07.339 --> 01:09.580
really austere , um , like tyranny of

01:09.580 --> 01:11.620
distance type fighting , then ADGR

01:11.620 --> 01:13.731
becomes a big thing for us . So being

01:13.731 --> 01:15.787
able to land pretty much anywhere in

01:15.787 --> 01:17.620
the world , um , and give gas to

01:17.620 --> 01:19.842
whether that's vehicles , helicopters ,

01:19.842 --> 01:22.064
um , stove all type operations with the

01:22.064 --> 01:24.287
F-35 , uh , we got , we got out to that

01:24.287 --> 01:26.620
as well , um , with some Canadian helos .

01:26.620 --> 01:28.620
And then aerial delivery . So if we

01:28.620 --> 01:30.731
don't have a place to land , we gotta

01:30.731 --> 01:32.731
be able to get people things , uh ,

01:32.731 --> 01:34.842
wherever they need it . And so aerial

01:34.842 --> 01:34.730
delivery was a big mission set that we

01:34.730 --> 01:36.841
needed out here . We were able to get

01:36.841 --> 01:38.841
pretty much all of our mission sets

01:38.841 --> 01:38.889
accomplished .
