00:11.970 --> 00:13.970
The training that we do here at the

00:13.970 --> 00:15.970
General Warfare Training Center not

00:15.970 --> 00:15.770
tailored just towards marines . It's

00:15.779 --> 00:17.612
also tailored towards our sister

00:17.612 --> 00:19.501
services and then also our Allied

00:19.501 --> 00:21.446
Forces as well . It helps to raise

00:21.446 --> 00:24.329
awareness in the A O as a whole . And

00:24.340 --> 00:27.000
it also helps them understand the

00:27.010 --> 00:29.232
construct that the Marine Corps will be

00:29.232 --> 00:31.177
operating under . With the uh 2030

00:31.177 --> 00:35.159
Force design . We got some very

00:35.169 --> 00:37.560
introductory classes giving us the

00:37.569 --> 00:39.569
basic scheme and maneuver of how to

00:39.569 --> 00:41.680
survive in the wilderness . And we're

00:41.680 --> 00:44.279
putting those into practice foraging

00:44.290 --> 00:46.290
for food , water , building our own

00:46.290 --> 00:48.512
shelters and just surviving against the

00:48.512 --> 00:50.679
elements prior to going into the field

00:50.679 --> 00:53.279
for the survival phase portion , we

00:53.290 --> 00:55.346
spend a day and a half teaching them

00:55.346 --> 00:57.401
just the basic skills . So your fire

00:57.401 --> 00:59.290
water and your shelter . And then

00:59.290 --> 01:01.234
additionally , we also focus on HF

01:01.234 --> 01:03.457
communications to UF VHF . And then how

01:03.457 --> 01:05.457
the jungle specifically will affect

01:05.457 --> 01:07.679
those forms of communication . Be it in

01:07.679 --> 01:09.846
a flat jungle , a jungle with a little

01:09.846 --> 01:11.846
underbrush or a jungle like what we

01:11.846 --> 01:13.568
have here and still be able to

01:13.568 --> 01:15.790
communicate effectively with the people

01:15.790 --> 01:14.669
that you're trying to talk to .

01:15.379 --> 01:17.546
Additionally , we also teach the tying

01:17.546 --> 01:19.435
up and retrieving of high tension

01:19.435 --> 01:22.330
systems that enable you to repel what

01:22.339 --> 01:24.561
that does in the jungle environment and

01:24.561 --> 01:26.617
what you're going to see in a lot of

01:26.617 --> 01:28.672
the Indo Pacific AO is going to be a

01:28.672 --> 01:30.895
mountainous jungle environment which is

01:30.895 --> 01:30.000
going to help you move a little bit

01:30.010 --> 01:32.099
faster and a lot more safely .

01:35.330 --> 01:39.120
Yeah , the Pacific

01:39.129 --> 01:41.139
region , there's some aspects of it

01:41.150 --> 01:43.120
that definitely will have marines

01:43.129 --> 01:45.849
forward , deployed . Marines need to

01:45.860 --> 01:48.250
know how to rely on their logistics

01:48.260 --> 01:50.427
train . Not just rely on getting air ,

01:50.427 --> 01:52.649
drop , food and water , they need to be

01:52.649 --> 01:55.300
able to survive off the land but not

01:55.309 --> 01:57.476
just survive . They need to be able to

01:57.476 --> 01:59.809
thrive and still accomplish the mission ,

01:59.809 --> 01:59.319
which is a big part of the training

01:59.330 --> 02:00.830
that we've been doing here

02:03.500 --> 02:05.500
being in this kind of environment .

02:05.500 --> 02:07.667
It's harsh , it's really great because

02:07.667 --> 02:09.889
it helps build awareness across just us

02:09.889 --> 02:12.056
and our sister services and our allies

02:12.056 --> 02:14.111
as far as what they're training to ,

02:14.111 --> 02:16.222
what we're training to . So we're all

02:16.222 --> 02:15.850
aware of each other's tactics and

02:15.860 --> 02:18.460
procedures and it also helps build that

02:18.470 --> 02:20.692
kind of friendship and that camaraderie

02:20.692 --> 02:21.330
moving towards the future .
