WEBVTT

00:00.140 --> 00:02.300
this exercise and exercise like these

00:02.300 --> 00:04.522
are actually very vital to the security

00:04.522 --> 00:06.689
in the Pacific in that we not only get

00:06.689 --> 00:09.100
the train at the joint and combined

00:09.260 --> 00:11.530
level , but we also get to do it under

00:11.530 --> 00:13.641
multi domain operations . And under a

00:13.641 --> 00:15.474
very realistic scenario , that's

00:15.474 --> 00:17.400
applicability to some of our

00:17.410 --> 00:19.577
contingency plans and operations plans

00:19.577 --> 00:21.688
that we have in the theater . When we

00:21.688 --> 00:24.140
started Orient Shield in 2017 , it was

00:24.150 --> 00:26.370
simply a brigade level field training

00:26.370 --> 00:29.200
exercise between us and the Japanese

00:29.210 --> 00:31.270
ground Self Defense Force . But over

00:31.270 --> 00:33.326
the years , particularly in the last

00:33.326 --> 00:36.350
two years , it has evolved on . We

00:36.840 --> 00:38.951
have increased . The participation is

00:38.951 --> 00:41.007
exercise to make it , you know , the

00:41.007 --> 00:43.229
biggest F T X here in Japan for the U .

00:43.229 --> 00:45.550
S . Army . Our purpose here for Orient

00:45.550 --> 00:47.680
Shielding King sword is to provide

00:47.690 --> 00:49.523
longer over water , air movement

00:49.523 --> 00:51.960
support uh , to , uh , the Marines .

00:52.140 --> 00:54.084
We're also unique in the fact that

00:54.084 --> 00:56.280
we're linked 16 capable in these

00:56.280 --> 00:58.950
aircraft and were able to push targets

00:58.960 --> 01:01.071
that we sense during these over water

01:01.071 --> 01:03.182
missions back to the Marines who push

01:03.182 --> 01:05.250
that over to 17 fires which enhances

01:05.260 --> 01:07.427
joint interoperability between all the

01:07.427 --> 01:09.510
services division fire support

01:09.520 --> 01:12.480
Communication Center is essentially

01:12.490 --> 01:16.240
the the highest echelon for this

01:16.240 --> 01:18.330
operation . From there , we make

01:18.340 --> 01:21.510
decisions on where priorities need to

01:21.510 --> 01:23.470
lie . Way would take some of those

01:23.470 --> 01:26.400
decisions and process those into fire

01:26.400 --> 01:28.740
missions and send them down the chain

01:28.800 --> 01:30.800
and from their their process to the

01:30.800 --> 01:33.350
Marine Corps . High marks a Z Well , as

01:33.360 --> 01:36.560
the army's high marks , thistle is

01:36.560 --> 01:38.727
different from our standard training .

01:38.727 --> 01:40.949
Because it was joint today , we able to

01:40.949 --> 01:43.171
combine our forces on make a joint fire

01:43.171 --> 01:45.171
mission to expand our legality . We

01:45.171 --> 01:47.338
come off amphibious landing craft from

01:47.338 --> 01:49.780
the army . Uh , come in to a literal

01:49.780 --> 01:52.000
area executed fire mission on then

01:52.000 --> 01:54.950
Macon expedient retro grid .
