WEBVTT

00:05.300 --> 00:08.710
But what we truly demonstrated is how

00:08.710 --> 00:12.149
we will fight in the future and how we

00:12.149 --> 00:15.029
as United States Marines as stand-in

00:15.029 --> 00:18.190
forces contribute to the greater joint

00:18.190 --> 00:19.579
and combined force .

00:22.159 --> 00:25.719
No place was beyond our reach . We

00:25.719 --> 00:28.040
showed what it means to actually live

00:28.040 --> 00:31.090
forward , to be a stand in force .

00:31.559 --> 00:34.810
That's not theory , it's reality . 15

00:34.810 --> 00:35.810
seconds .

01:08.169 --> 01:09.947
We began by closing the force ,

01:09.947 --> 01:11.725
preparing and moving people and

01:11.725 --> 01:13.891
equipment across the Pacific to Darwin

01:13.891 --> 01:15.947
and into the first island chain with

01:15.947 --> 01:17.836
the Philippines to conduct Marine

01:17.836 --> 01:20.002
Exercise 25 with the Philippine Marine

01:20.002 --> 01:21.891
Corps that set the foundation for

01:21.891 --> 01:23.780
everything that followed . Having

01:23.780 --> 01:26.113
access to uh marines to train alongside ,

01:26.199 --> 01:28.255
it's very beneficial , right , cause

01:28.255 --> 01:30.310
you , you guys come in , you're well

01:30.310 --> 01:32.477
resourced , motivated and having Murfy

01:32.477 --> 01:34.366
here is awesome for the amount of

01:34.366 --> 01:34.269
amount of training benefit that we can

01:34.279 --> 01:36.501
provide ourselves and then combine with

01:36.501 --> 01:38.612
you guys to get some like real wins .

01:40.540 --> 01:42.651
Nothing will ever be the same again .

01:43.639 --> 01:45.589
Darwin's not in a bubble anymore .

01:46.010 --> 01:48.639
We're a magtap that can project combat

01:48.639 --> 01:52.239
power together at a time and place of

01:52.239 --> 01:55.269
our choosing . This year we took

01:55.269 --> 01:57.047
advantage of the one Map summer

01:57.047 --> 02:00.150
exercise series to establish ourselves

02:00.150 --> 02:02.150
as not just an exercise force but a

02:02.150 --> 02:03.983
combat credible stand in force .

02:08.339 --> 02:10.610
Once in position , the Murphy Marine

02:10.610 --> 02:12.554
Air Ground Task Force revealed its

02:12.554 --> 02:14.499
operational reach . From the first

02:14.499 --> 02:16.777
island chain to the Australian Outback ,

02:16.777 --> 02:18.554
Marines demonstrated capability

02:18.554 --> 02:20.499
alongside multinational allies and

02:20.499 --> 02:22.388
partners in five countries during

02:22.388 --> 02:24.443
exercises Croix de Sud , Balakotan ,

02:24.443 --> 02:26.554
Commondog , Predators Run , Operation

02:26.554 --> 02:28.666
Render Safe , and Southern Jackaroo .

02:29.929 --> 02:31.873
But that's that's the power of the

02:31.873 --> 02:33.651
magta is you can bring all that

02:33.651 --> 02:35.740
together . From partners in the CLB

02:35.949 --> 02:38.060
subject matter experts in the command

02:38.060 --> 02:39.838
element , you can engage higher

02:39.838 --> 02:41.727
headquarters and you can do those

02:41.727 --> 02:43.710
things in a resource informed res

02:43.710 --> 02:46.179
responsible way to accomplish their

02:46.179 --> 02:48.589
mission . Going up to the first island

02:48.589 --> 02:50.910
chain , um , working directly for the

02:50.910 --> 02:53.132
magta command element and kind of being

02:53.132 --> 02:55.021
able to be a liaison , that's the

02:55.021 --> 02:57.354
Anglophone mission , being able to plan ,

02:57.354 --> 02:59.466
conduct , and execute indirect fire ,

02:59.466 --> 03:01.466
aviation fire port operations , and

03:01.466 --> 03:05.389
communications . We show up ready

03:05.389 --> 03:08.009
to solve problems , fight and win . We

03:08.009 --> 03:10.176
show up to make ourselves better cause

03:10.176 --> 03:12.287
we're humble , sturdy professionals ,

03:12.287 --> 03:14.342
but we also show up . With that same

03:14.342 --> 03:16.231
spirit and ethos that's been time

03:16.231 --> 03:20.100
tested over 250 years . So by by

03:20.100 --> 03:22.156
conducting hard training , realistic

03:22.156 --> 03:24.211
training , uh , we're able to embody

03:24.211 --> 03:26.600
that that force and readiness to react

03:26.600 --> 03:28.600
to anything in into a paycom area .

03:28.600 --> 03:30.711
We're constantly working with the ADF

03:30.711 --> 03:32.656
and we also work with the Filipino

03:32.656 --> 03:33.656
forces as well .

03:37.289 --> 03:40.279
We now understand the grit it takes to

03:40.639 --> 03:42.750
push through a threshold that has not

03:42.750 --> 03:44.861
been done before and ready to take on

03:44.861 --> 03:46.750
any tasks that were in our way of

03:46.750 --> 03:48.861
accomplishing the mission because the

03:48.861 --> 03:51.080
question was never if we can complete

03:51.080 --> 03:53.191
the mission , it was when and where .

04:00.100 --> 04:02.156
The magtta repositioned and prepared

04:02.156 --> 04:05.509
for exercise tiles and saber 25 . At

04:05.509 --> 04:08.389
103 battery , um , our main integration

04:08.389 --> 04:10.910
partner was with Kilo Battery from 311

04:10.910 --> 04:12.750
Battalion . We had a great time

04:12.750 --> 04:14.417
integrating with those guys .

04:17.259 --> 04:18.259
OK

04:22.850 --> 04:24.961
So working with the Australians , the

04:24.961 --> 04:27.769
Philippines , and multinational medical

04:27.769 --> 04:30.130
teams , we reinforce the importance of

04:30.130 --> 04:32.408
adaptability with the shared standards .

04:32.649 --> 04:34.538
That means being able to bring in

04:34.538 --> 04:36.649
different approaches when it comes to

04:36.649 --> 04:38.760
local knowledge , being able to train

04:38.760 --> 04:40.482
together , which is absolutely

04:40.482 --> 04:43.839
important . We align our methods so if

04:43.839 --> 04:46.239
and when a real crisis should happen ,

04:46.730 --> 04:48.897
we can treat patients the same way and

04:48.897 --> 04:50.952
integrate seamlessly to save lives .

04:53.609 --> 04:55.776
But the magha never stopped persisting

04:55.776 --> 04:57.665
in the first island chain through

04:57.665 --> 04:59.776
archipelagic coastal defense training

04:59.776 --> 05:01.998
with the Philippine Marine Corps . This

05:01.998 --> 05:03.942
deliberate and distributed posture

05:03.942 --> 05:05.998
showed flexibility , scaling back to

05:05.998 --> 05:08.165
the continent in one moment , ready to

05:08.165 --> 05:12.149
surge the next . When

05:12.149 --> 05:14.260
calamity struck , MurRFD answered the

05:14.260 --> 05:16.593
call in the operational blink of an eye ,

05:16.593 --> 05:18.427
at the request of the Philippine

05:18.427 --> 05:20.600
government , MERFD surged MB-22 Osprey

05:20.600 --> 05:22.720
Aviation assets and commandment

05:22.720 --> 05:24.831
enablers across thousands of miles of

05:24.831 --> 05:26.942
ocean while still in the final stages

05:26.942 --> 05:28.664
of the largest exercise in the

05:28.664 --> 05:31.519
Indo-Pacific . The airside providing

05:31.519 --> 05:35.040
them weather during the HADR continuous

05:35.040 --> 05:37.040
updates on what the weather effects

05:37.040 --> 05:39.151
were so that we could support the air

05:39.151 --> 05:41.207
operations as they were happening to

05:41.207 --> 05:43.096
get the needed supplies when they

05:43.096 --> 05:45.630
needed to go . We were never out of

05:45.630 --> 05:48.769
position . No waiting , no long lead

05:48.769 --> 05:51.279
times , no debate , just

05:52.130 --> 05:54.929
response . That's the point of being

05:54.929 --> 05:57.839
forward . You don't wait to be relevant ,

05:58.089 --> 06:01.700
you are relevant . From

06:01.700 --> 06:03.899
there , momentum carried into exercise

06:03.899 --> 06:06.619
Alo simultaneously . Marines projected

06:06.619 --> 06:08.675
combat power and made history aboard

06:08.675 --> 06:10.859
the expeditionary sea base USS Miguel

06:10.859 --> 06:12.980
Ke while integrating the super Gru to

06:12.980 --> 06:15.299
shield with Indonesia in the US Army

06:15.299 --> 06:17.940
Pacific . Multiple efforts across

06:17.940 --> 06:20.107
multiple countries planned in sequence

06:20.107 --> 06:22.700
to demonstrate reach , resilience , and

06:22.700 --> 06:24.922
the ability to respond to crises at any

06:24.922 --> 06:28.850
scale . Being able to

06:29.109 --> 06:31.359
have young leaders leading those

06:31.359 --> 06:33.260
detachments that were spread out

06:33.260 --> 06:36.619
concurrently and being able to have

06:36.619 --> 06:39.260
them understand intent , give them the

06:39.260 --> 06:41.371
things they needed to be successful ,

06:41.371 --> 06:43.260
and then trust them to be able to

06:43.260 --> 06:45.093
operate independently was really

06:45.093 --> 06:46.538
critical to our success .

06:54.739 --> 06:56.961
Stand-in forces are Marines who persist

06:56.961 --> 06:59.072
forward in contested spaces , staying

06:59.072 --> 07:00.850
close enough to sense threats ,

07:00.850 --> 07:03.072
reassure allies , and be in position to

07:03.072 --> 07:06.850
act before anyone else can . But

07:09.799 --> 07:12.859
The Murphy magta persisted and operated

07:12.859 --> 07:14.915
across thousands of miles of Pacific

07:14.915 --> 07:17.137
terrain , built lethality with allies ,

07:17.260 --> 07:19.482
provided disaster relief to a nation in

07:19.482 --> 07:21.649
need , and projected combat power from

07:21.649 --> 07:23.369
the air , land , and sea .

07:29.459 --> 07:32.369
The operational environment is evolving

07:32.609 --> 07:35.769
and we too are adapting to the new

07:35.769 --> 07:38.369
environment , not just for MERFD , but

07:38.369 --> 07:40.929
for how the core will fight the future

07:40.929 --> 07:43.940
fight . There's no going back .

07:48.809 --> 07:50.920
We set a new standard for what Murphy

07:50.920 --> 07:54.690
can do . Our

07:54.690 --> 07:56.970
marines persist forward , shift from

07:56.970 --> 07:58.859
crisis to combat , and strengthen

07:58.859 --> 08:01.026
alliances at any time and place of our

08:01.026 --> 08:03.026
choosing . We've paved the road for

08:03.026 --> 08:05.026
what comes next . We leave behind a

08:05.026 --> 08:07.248
legacy that future rotations will carry

08:07.248 --> 08:09.839
further , stronger , and faster . Every

08:09.839 --> 08:11.617
response was part of a coherent

08:11.617 --> 08:13.450
campaign designed to dislocate ,

08:13.450 --> 08:15.690
disorient , and disrupt our adversaries

08:15.690 --> 08:17.746
while strengthening alliances across

08:17.746 --> 08:20.350
the Indo-Pacific . That is what it

08:20.350 --> 08:21.989
means to be a stand-in force .
