OK .
For the first time in my career , I saw
an integration of a common operational
picture at the UN class level , we were
able to share the location of both of
our units together , developing a
holistic picture of the capabilities
that we had out on the battlefield .
The primary focus of Kis Marx is to
increase interoperability at the
tactical level with our cor our
counterparts . Anytime two units
regardless of nation , regardless of
service come together , there's going
to be a scene . And so the focus , the
goal is always to try to mitigate that
scene as much as possible , which is
where the idea of interoperability
comes into play . It would be an
understatement to say that Indonesia is
a key partner in this region , the
world . I think it would be it's
foundational for every marine and
sailor who desires to be a part of the
solution for how we shape our force ,
how we fight in the future to take part
in exercises like Kris
Maaki and
it
uh Samos
Indonesia , then America ,
Mami Marin's brotherhood ,
Ks Mos is important because the
Indonesian core , more strong partners
and the more we train with them the
more proficient we are in our craft as
well as jungle survivability .
Indonesia as well is a very strategic
location . And so by continuing to
execute these Kris warrants and other
exercises , we're able to further build
relations allowing the United States
and Indonesian military to fight more
hand in hand and have similar goals in
United States . So we're covering
everything from fire support to joint
terminal attack , controllers to
mortars , to maneuver tactics . And so
with all this , it leads to what we
call interoperability or the better way
that we're able to work with each other .
It's fantastic working with them , the
uh the core , more as people , great to
interact with very proficient in their
craft . And I would fight next to him
any day .
