threatened or endangered species is

02:23.050 --> 02:25.510
always a key consideration . The

02:25.510 --> 02:27.621
balance between training requirements

02:27.621 --> 02:30.010
and resource management is continually

02:30.010 --> 02:32.970
reviewed and adjusted , ensuring the

04:07.290 --> 04:10.150
Lejeune . Close proximity to Fort Bragg

04:10.640 --> 04:13.060
also results in training by army units

04:13.060 --> 04:15.830
at Camp Lejeune on a regular basis , as

04:15.830 --> 04:17.774
well as army units from around the

precautions , Kampl adjourn will

04:38.140 --> 04:40.029
challenge movement and maneuver ,

04:40.029 --> 04:41.740
forcing small unit leaders to

04:41.740 --> 04:45.320
constantly adapt and overcome . Our hot ,
