for over two decades , MLAC has served

00:20.087 --> 00:22.479
as a bridge connecting uh marine forces

00:22.479 --> 00:24.590
across our hemisphere . We will share

insights , explore new operational

00:26.600 --> 00:29.270
concepts . And strengthen the bonds

00:29.270 --> 00:31.350
that allow us to respond together to

00:31.350 --> 00:33.790
crises , whether humanitarian , gray

Honest dialogue and a shared commitment

00:42.369 --> 00:44.425
to the stability of our hemisphere .

01:00.400 --> 01:02.511
At the core of how we're adapting for

01:02.511 --> 01:04.622
the future , support forward presence

01:04.622 --> 01:06.511
without permanent basing , and to

01:06.511 --> 01:08.733
enable fleet operations across multiple

01:08.733 --> 01:11.190
maritime regions . By focusing on

01:11.190 --> 01:13.134
complex operational environments .

01:20.819 --> 01:23.580

Pacific Amphibious Leadership Symposium ,

03:12.496 --> 03:14.662
a similar set up which works very good

to , to connect to establish

03:16.273 --> 03:18.329
relationships and to , uh , increase

03:18.329 --> 03:20.496
cooperation with each other . What are

03:20.496 --> 03:22.779
some security challenges that your

03:22.779 --> 03:25.529
nation wants your military to address

03:25.529 --> 03:28.270
and that we as a group should address

03:28.270 --> 03:30.830
together ? So one of the big challenges

03:30.830 --> 03:33.630
facing our country and our region is

03:33.630 --> 03:36.789

05:00.420 --> 05:02.587
Yeah , so this certainly puts us at an

05:02.587 --> 05:05.329
advantage because we're able to speak

05:05.329 --> 05:07.329

you cross the beach , you know , you're

06:27.929 --> 06:29.929
up to yourself . You have your navy

06:29.929 --> 06:32.262
brothers still at sea providing support ,

06:32.262 --> 06:34.318
hopefully coms , logistics , fires ,

06:34.318 --> 06:36.651
but you have to push forward as marines .

06:36.651 --> 06:38.762
When our forces train together , plan

06:38.762 --> 06:40.929
together and learn together , we build

06:40.929 --> 06:43.096
the habits of cooperation that make us

06:43.096 --> 06:45.549
more capable . And better able to

06:45.549 --> 06:47.549
support one another when it matters

06:47.549 --> 06:49.899
most . We're modernizing our forces ,

06:49.989 --> 06:52.250
we're training for uncertainty . We're

06:52.250 --> 06:54.194
developing leaders who can operate

06:54.194 --> 06:56.559
under strain . We build them through

06:56.559 --> 06:59.010
shared effort and honest engagement .

07:00.359 --> 07:02.709
