00:00.317 --> 00:03.317
(upbeat rock music)

00:07.900 --> 00:09.920
- [Narrator] Being stationed in Iwakuni,

00:09.920 --> 00:11.110
it's a Marine Corps Air Station,

00:11.110 --> 00:12.670
but it's much more than that.

00:12.670 --> 00:15.630
Just being on the forefront of
the direction the commandant

00:15.630 --> 00:16.760
is trying to move us to.

00:16.760 --> 00:20.040
And shifting green map to
sort of the main effort

00:20.040 --> 00:21.450
of the Marine Corps,

00:21.450 --> 00:23.090
and some of our future operating concepts.

00:23.090 --> 00:25.566
And helping to shape and
develop what that looks like.

00:25.566 --> 00:28.607
The stand-in force
capabilities that we have here,

00:28.607 --> 00:32.150
furthering what that capability will be,

00:32.150 --> 00:35.250
that the commandants
envision in 2030 and beyond.

00:35.250 --> 00:38.726
And helping to shape that, and
develop what that looks like.

00:38.726 --> 00:41.790
Certainly broadened my horizons,

00:41.790 --> 00:44.460
and broadened my view of the Marine Corps.

00:44.460 --> 00:47.710
And it's awesome to be
able to kind of shape that

00:47.710 --> 00:50.460
and help to develop what that
looks like going forward.

00:52.086 --> 00:54.400
(upbeat music)

00:54.400 --> 00:56.230
The commandant has talked about the need

00:56.230 --> 00:58.640
to put our best and our
brightest here in green map.

00:58.640 --> 01:01.810
Put all the new blood,
all the new individuals

01:01.810 --> 01:04.060
that might receive orders
here, are looking to move here

01:04.060 --> 01:06.100
to be part of that rebuilding.

01:06.100 --> 01:09.326
And getting green map up to
the level of the other maps,

01:09.326 --> 01:11.800
and the capability that
would have to stay along.

01:11.800 --> 01:13.940
So I could focus on
that and the importance

01:13.940 --> 01:16.010
of this region of the world.

01:16.010 --> 01:17.400
It's more than just the United States,

01:17.400 --> 01:20.038
but the entire region of the globe.

01:20.038 --> 01:23.455
