1
00:00:04,019 --> 00:00:05,494
- We're at ITX, Twenty-Nine Palms.

2
00:00:05,494 --> 00:00:06,763
We're at the 400-series ranges.

3
00:00:06,763 --> 00:00:08,204
^Right now we're at four-ten-alpha, we just

4
00:00:08,204 --> 00:00:10,888
^got done executing our day shoot.

5
00:00:10,888 --> 00:00:13,048
What that consists of is an integration

6
00:00:13,048 --> 00:00:14,654
of support-by-fire, so you have machine guns,

7
00:00:14,654 --> 00:00:16,439
you have 60-millimeter mortars.

8
00:00:16,439 --> 00:00:20,060
And then, you execute the fire and maneuver for this range.

9
00:00:20,060 --> 00:00:22,767
It consists of trench clearing, support-by-fires,

10
00:00:22,767 --> 00:00:25,350
and integration of crew-serves.

11
00:00:26,139 --> 00:00:28,639
(guns firing)

12
00:00:31,443 --> 00:00:33,530
My role is to supervise and control

13
00:00:33,530 --> 00:00:36,008
the support-by-fires so the squads can

14
00:00:36,008 --> 00:00:37,433
effectively fight their squads

15
00:00:37,433 --> 00:00:39,714
and clear the trenches appropriately

16
00:00:39,714 --> 00:00:40,973
and continue on with the fight

17
00:00:40,973 --> 00:00:43,556
until they hit a counterattack.

18
00:00:47,386 --> 00:00:49,480
- My roles here on this range

19
00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:52,813
^was being the lead trace for the platoon

20
00:00:53,137 --> 00:00:55,422
and getting the breach done.

21
00:00:55,422 --> 00:00:57,958
Also setting up a support-by-fire

22
00:00:57,958 --> 00:00:59,127
allowing the rest of my platoon

23
00:00:59,127 --> 00:01:01,294
to start flowing in to our

24
00:01:01,487 --> 00:01:03,987
individual platoon objectives.

25
00:01:04,734 --> 00:01:07,234
(guns firing)

26
00:01:07,812 --> 00:01:11,401
- Overall, I think my range did really well.

27
00:01:11,401 --> 00:01:12,484
It's about...

28
00:01:13,350 --> 00:01:15,872
how proficient you are while you're out there.

29
00:01:15,872 --> 00:01:18,059
Understanding the tactics and the maneuver

30
00:01:18,059 --> 00:01:19,309
of the range...

31
00:01:19,508 --> 00:01:21,925
that's really all it's about.
