1
00:00:00,991 --> 00:00:01,966
- Hit it on two.

2
00:00:01,966 --> 00:00:03,061
- [Soldier] Fire!

3
00:00:03,061 --> 00:00:04,649
(mortar firing)

4
00:00:04,649 --> 00:00:08,145
- Today, we're out here putting all the practical skills

5
00:00:08,145 --> 00:00:10,660
that these guys have been learning

6
00:00:10,660 --> 00:00:12,279
into an actual exercise,

7
00:00:12,279 --> 00:00:14,820
so they set up Comm and now they are calling

8
00:00:14,820 --> 00:00:17,757
for fire from artillery and mortars.

9
00:00:17,757 --> 00:00:20,729
A lot of these guys, this isn't their main job,

10
00:00:20,729 --> 00:00:21,947
so it gives us a chance for them

11
00:00:21,947 --> 00:00:23,770
to work together alongside

12
00:00:23,770 --> 00:00:25,422
other people in the unit

13
00:00:25,422 --> 00:00:26,808
and learn what they do

14
00:00:26,808 --> 00:00:28,808
and help each other out.

15
00:00:28,914 --> 00:00:33,081
A lot of the Senior NCOs are taking charge of this.

16
00:00:33,216 --> 00:00:34,726
We're, kind of, letting them do their own thing,

17
00:00:34,726 --> 00:00:36,087
run the training how they want,

18
00:00:36,087 --> 00:00:38,701
and, ultimately, they're building confidence

19
00:00:38,701 --> 00:00:40,118
in their Marines.

20
00:00:40,149 --> 00:00:41,297
- There's nothing better than being in the field

21
00:00:41,297 --> 00:00:42,880
with your guys and,

22
00:00:42,908 --> 00:00:44,580
you know, working together, suffering together,

23
00:00:44,580 --> 00:00:47,066
because that's unit cohesion as it is, you know.

24
00:00:47,066 --> 00:00:48,366
Y'all work together, serve together.

25
00:00:48,366 --> 00:00:50,033
Y'all mock together.
