00:14.220 --> 00:18.000
BMM 265 reinforce moved 389

00:18.000 --> 00:21.969
marines over 36 hours from Futema to

00:21.969 --> 00:25.739
Katsi Fuji . MAS Futema to Katsiuji is

00:25.739 --> 00:27.370
a little over 1100 miles .

00:45.310 --> 00:48.340
The MM 265 reinforce was able to

00:48.340 --> 00:51.220
practice low altitude tactics en route

00:51.220 --> 00:54.729
in order to avoid detection . As well

00:54.729 --> 00:56.951
as objective area mechanics in order to

00:56.951 --> 00:59.810
insert the marines to Katsy Fuji .

01:02.959 --> 01:04.940
The 53s were able to do air to air

01:04.940 --> 01:07.051
refueling en route which allowed them

01:07.051 --> 01:09.162
to continuously fly up until reaching

01:09.162 --> 01:10.000
Katzifuji .

01:19.470 --> 01:22.510
We went from Futtama to Kasi Fuji .

01:23.900 --> 01:26.489
We wanted to be able to demonstrate the

01:26.489 --> 01:29.569
muse capability to project combat power

01:29.569 --> 01:32.410
from Okinawa . In this case , we chose

01:32.410 --> 01:35.970
Kaifuji as the location to continue to

01:35.970 --> 01:39.169
train on ranges that provided better

01:39.169 --> 01:41.169
training opportunities than here in

01:41.169 --> 01:44.830
Okinawa . We focused on

01:44.830 --> 01:48.660
core Mets , so offense and defense

01:48.660 --> 01:52.019
operations at the platoon level . The

01:52.019 --> 01:55.180
BLT utilize combined arms , machine

01:55.180 --> 01:55.819
guns .

02:00.459 --> 02:01.230
Mortars

02:04.500 --> 02:05.410
Small arms .

02:10.389 --> 02:13.218
We also focused on team and squad ,

02:13.509 --> 02:16.429
specifically our anti-armor assets ,

02:16.548 --> 02:18.149
being those tow missiles .

02:22.339 --> 02:23.839
In our javelin misselman .

02:31.360 --> 02:33.082
This training demonstrates the

02:33.082 --> 02:35.082
projection of combat power by being

02:35.082 --> 02:37.389
able to rapidly move two companies

02:37.389 --> 02:40.009
reinforced with a weapons company and

02:40.009 --> 02:42.270
bringing all those personnel from

02:42.270 --> 02:44.860
Okinawa to the occasion of our choosing .

02:45.619 --> 02:48.029
The 31st M is the premier response

02:48.029 --> 02:50.750
force operating in the Indo-Pacific

02:50.750 --> 02:52.979
region . We have to be ready to respond

02:52.979 --> 02:55.669
and rapidly deploy a lethal force when

02:55.669 --> 02:57.919
called upon , wherever that may be .

03:04.389 --> 03:05.830
Yeah Right

03:15.369 --> 03:15.380
I
