00:11.399 --> 00:13.288
During this underway period , the

00:13.288 --> 00:15.066
battalion landing team is fully

00:15.066 --> 00:17.121
integrated into every event that the

00:17.121 --> 00:19.455
13th Marine Expeditionary Unit conducts ,

00:19.455 --> 00:21.232
whether that'll be security for

00:21.232 --> 00:22.899
operations like non-combatant

00:22.899 --> 00:24.920
evacuations or for forward arming

00:24.920 --> 00:26.976
refueling points , or there are some

00:27.370 --> 00:29.203
key missions where the battalion

00:29.203 --> 00:31.370
landing team is the main effort , such

00:31.370 --> 00:33.537
as our amphibious raids and amphibious

00:33.537 --> 00:33.529
assaults , we find a way to integrate

00:33.529 --> 00:35.830
in and ensure that the 13th MU has

00:36.049 --> 00:38.160
ground security and the capability of

00:38.160 --> 00:40.382
projecting ground combat power ashore .

00:44.290 --> 00:46.512
This training is incredibly important ,

00:46.512 --> 00:48.679
uh , for two major reasons . The first

00:48.679 --> 00:50.901
is that we can get accustomed to living

00:50.901 --> 00:52.957
underway and training , planning and

00:52.957 --> 00:55.068
preparing for missions while embarked

00:55.068 --> 00:57.290
on navy shipping . And then secondly is

00:57.290 --> 00:59.290
we integrate as a battalion landing

00:59.290 --> 01:01.123
team with different enablers and

01:01.123 --> 01:03.346
capabilities from across the , the MU ,

01:03.346 --> 01:05.346
and this gives us an opportunity to

01:05.346 --> 01:07.568
come together and hone those skills and

01:07.568 --> 01:09.623
execute missions where it's not just

01:09.623 --> 01:09.099
ourselves alone , but we're executing

01:09.099 --> 01:11.210
alongside our counterparts as a whole

01:11.210 --> 01:12.655
part of the , the MATAF .

01:24.849 --> 01:26.793
While we're out here at sea , it's

01:26.793 --> 01:29.330
really just , uh , one , to get her

01:29.330 --> 01:31.639
better , like integrated with the navy

01:31.639 --> 01:33.750
and getting on and off , working hand

01:33.750 --> 01:35.861
in hand in how we need to start doing

01:35.861 --> 01:37.861
maintenance tasks on the ship , but

01:37.861 --> 01:39.972
then secondly and more importantly is

01:39.972 --> 01:42.195
getting better assault support training

01:42.195 --> 01:43.972
for like long-distance raids or

01:43.972 --> 01:46.370
planning across multiple entities , you

01:46.370 --> 01:48.203
know , ground and air , and then

01:48.203 --> 01:50.426
getting it planned , time on target and

01:50.426 --> 01:51.426
out the door .

02:00.650 --> 02:02.817
Our biggest goals for this training is

02:02.817 --> 02:04.983
first and foremost , demonstrating our

02:04.983 --> 02:07.039
proficiency and our corps mets , the

02:07.039 --> 02:09.094
tasks that are mission essential for

02:09.094 --> 02:08.660
the marine expeditionary unit . There

02:08.660 --> 02:10.882
are a handful of those that fall on the

02:10.882 --> 02:13.100
battalion landing team or to where

02:13.100 --> 02:15.267
we're working very closely with others

02:15.267 --> 02:17.378
to accomplish that mission together ,

02:17.378 --> 02:19.489
and we need to show that we are ready

02:19.489 --> 02:18.940
and postured to accomplish those

02:18.940 --> 02:20.884
missions in a real-world setting .

02:23.639 --> 02:26.679
Never lose the lethality mindset if you

02:26.679 --> 02:28.623
exist for what purpose is to break

02:28.623 --> 02:29.479
things and say things .
