00:00.466 --> 00:03.984
(slow music)
(men speaking)

00:03.984 --> 00:06.734
(dramatic music)

00:11.829 --> 00:14.412
(tank rolling)

00:15.341 --> 00:16.774
(man yelling)

00:16.774 --> 00:19.441
(crowd yelling)

00:23.810 --> 00:27.170
- Military policeman is one who assists,

00:27.170 --> 00:28.690
protects and defends.

00:28.690 --> 00:32.110
What that means is we
conduct law enforcement

00:32.110 --> 00:33.760
in garrison and in country.

00:33.760 --> 00:37.330
We're also responsible for
providing security for convoys.

00:37.330 --> 00:40.194
We're also responsible for
training other countries'

00:40.194 --> 00:41.993
military police as well.

00:46.070 --> 00:47.770
- [Soldier] Right here, right here

00:48.839 --> 00:53.839
(background noise drowns out other sounds)

00:53.860 --> 00:57.040
- So here we work with
the Jordan Infantry Two

00:57.040 --> 00:58.750
from the Jordan National Guard.

00:58.750 --> 01:02.400
And we work with a platoon
of active duty Jordan MPs.

01:02.400 --> 01:07.173
And so we train specifically
on my middle tactics,

01:08.320 --> 01:09.640
securing critical site,

01:09.640 --> 01:14.120
conducting route reconnaissance,
route regulation,

01:14.120 --> 01:17.660
detaining operations, police operations

01:17.660 --> 01:19.820
and expeditionary operations

01:19.820 --> 01:21.210
- [Woman] Medical attention?

01:21.210 --> 01:23.541
- They were provided medical attention.

01:23.541 --> 01:26.624
(men talking loudly)

01:30.379 --> 01:32.462
- Is that good? Thank you

01:33.623 --> 01:35.340
- Before we came here we
had a bunch of ammo classes,

01:35.340 --> 01:39.086
we had weapons classes,
like on the 240 Bravo

01:39.086 --> 01:42.020
My specific weapons, the
2493 classes on the 249,

01:42.020 --> 01:45.130
the NTU, the Mark 19, things like that,

01:45.130 --> 01:48.220
cause a lot of our job
is working with cruisers.

01:48.220 --> 01:51.165
- Agile Spirit has been
a little different,

01:51.165 --> 01:52.510
it's a little different from
Afghanistan in the sense that

01:52.510 --> 01:54.772
when you're on deployment
you can not really

01:54.772 --> 01:55.605
go out and see the city

01:55.605 --> 01:57.080
and like get used to
some of their customs,

01:57.080 --> 01:59.260
cause you have to be on guard 24/7.

01:59.260 --> 02:01.790
Here it's been more of
a like learn with them,

02:01.790 --> 02:03.370
they teach us and we teach them,

02:03.370 --> 02:05.600
so i wanted to experience both ways.

02:05.600 --> 02:09.270
- There's a level of realness
that comes training here

02:09.270 --> 02:12.400
in a foreign country, with a foreign army

02:12.400 --> 02:16.190
that these soldiers would
not get training at home

02:16.190 --> 02:18.800
at Fort Stewart, or training
at home at Fort Benning

02:18.800 --> 02:21.360
or even at the unit.

02:21.360 --> 02:22.910
You can not just be complacent,

02:23.859 --> 02:25.440
there are real threats out there.

02:25.440 --> 02:28.380
We are training in a
location that's fairly open

02:28.380 --> 02:30.550
to the general public
in a foreign country,

02:30.550 --> 02:33.840
so it's a constant
critical thinking exercise,

02:33.840 --> 02:37.590
it's a constant exercise on
thinking outside the box,

02:37.590 --> 02:40.560
thinking about how we can
increase relations with

02:40.560 --> 02:43.700
not only the Jordan army, and
the Jordan Defense Forces,

02:43.700 --> 02:46.410
but the general public
of the country as well.

02:46.410 --> 02:47.860
I have always wanted
to be a police officer,

02:47.860 --> 02:49.970
always wanted to help my fellow soldiers,

02:49.970 --> 02:52.370
and I've always wanted
to be part of something

02:52.370 --> 02:53.550
a lot bigger than me,

02:53.550 --> 02:55.790
and the military police regiment,

02:55.790 --> 02:58.120
the military police battalion,

02:58.120 --> 03:01.820
is something where I feel
like I can make a difference

03:01.820 --> 03:03.480
not only within the Jordan National Guard,

03:03.480 --> 03:05.697
but within the U.S. army as a whole.
