00:01.259 --> 00:03.481
My name is Captain James Rowlands , the

00:03.481 --> 00:05.759
210 RSG out of Aguadilla , Puerto Rico .

00:05.759 --> 00:07.759
We're here for two weeks conducting

00:07.759 --> 00:10.260
RSOI reverse RSOI for African Lion 26 .

00:11.930 --> 00:14.097
Through this process we're bringing in

00:14.097 --> 00:16.152
soldiers as they come into theater ,

00:16.152 --> 00:18.263
transport from the airport , get them

00:18.263 --> 00:20.263
packed in , and then get them their

00:20.263 --> 00:22.430
badges so that they have proper access

00:22.430 --> 00:22.280
to where they need to go in theater .

00:22.780 --> 00:25.002
From there they get checked in with the

00:25.002 --> 00:27.224
rest of the exercise and then of course

00:27.224 --> 00:29.447
learn a short safety brief so they know

00:29.447 --> 00:31.391
how to conduct themselves while in

00:31.391 --> 00:33.450
Morocco . This process is important

00:33.450 --> 00:35.672
because we want to make sure that one ,

00:35.672 --> 00:37.506
all of our soldiers are properly

00:37.506 --> 00:39.506
accounted for for safety , and also

00:39.506 --> 00:41.728
that they understand what's expected of

00:41.728 --> 00:43.894
them and integrating with our Moroccan

00:43.894 --> 00:45.783
counterparts as well as the other

00:45.783 --> 00:47.783
countries that we're working with .

00:47.783 --> 00:49.950
This training is crucial for a reserve

00:49.950 --> 00:52.080
unit like this and our readiness . By

00:52.080 --> 00:54.619
making sure that we're working with our

00:54.759 --> 00:56.759
partner nations here and that these

00:56.759 --> 00:58.981
soldiers have a chance to do their real

00:58.981 --> 01:01.203
world job in a low stakes environment .

01:01.229 --> 01:02.729
It increases our readiness

01:02.729 --> 01:04.673
substantially . It makes sure that

01:04.673 --> 01:06.785
we're properly ready for the fight if

01:06.785 --> 01:08.840
the army ever calls on us to do this

01:08.840 --> 01:07.260
for real .
