1
00:00:02,997 --> 00:00:06,164
(tank engine roaring)

2
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,750
- Today, what we're gonna be doing this morning

3
00:00:08,750 --> 00:00:11,335
is splashing out to the USS Arlington

4
00:00:11,335 --> 00:00:13,806
in preparation for BaltOps 17,

5
00:00:13,806 --> 00:00:17,056
which is a multinational NATO exercise.

6
00:00:18,851 --> 00:00:21,506
- This is my first time doing this.

7
00:00:21,506 --> 00:00:22,489
Feeling pretty good.

8
00:00:22,489 --> 00:00:23,326
All the tracks are up.

9
00:00:23,326 --> 00:00:24,762
Nothing broke down.

10
00:00:24,762 --> 00:00:28,762
And everyone seems to be moving out pretty well.

11
00:00:28,954 --> 00:00:30,894
- What I want my marines to get out of this

12
00:00:30,894 --> 00:00:34,866
is the experience operating in foreign countries,

13
00:00:34,866 --> 00:00:38,245
with foreign militaries, with our NATO allies,

14
00:00:38,245 --> 00:00:41,292
and get the experience of just doing their job

15
00:00:41,292 --> 00:00:43,125
of amphibious assault.

16
00:00:45,810 --> 00:00:49,613
- The biggest motivating factor to me is we're tracks,

17
00:00:49,613 --> 00:00:50,618
we're amphibious.

18
00:00:50,618 --> 00:00:54,785
We go from ship to shore, land to sea, no questions asked.

19
00:00:55,086 --> 00:00:56,812
Other than that, how would you get out there?

20
00:00:56,812 --> 00:00:58,858
How would you go to a destination?

21
00:00:58,858 --> 00:01:00,941
We move the Marine Corps.
