00:00.620 --> 00:02.869
We're here in New Zealand to strengthen

00:02.880 --> 00:05.102
the bond between our Pacific partners .

00:06.329 --> 00:08.670
In order to increase interoperability .

00:08.979 --> 00:11.035
It is important that we partner with

00:11.035 --> 00:13.201
all of our allies in order to increase

00:13.201 --> 00:15.312
our lethality in the Pacific region .

00:19.010 --> 00:21.232
You know , the New Zealand army and the

00:21.232 --> 00:23.454
US army have a long lineage of fighting

00:23.454 --> 00:25.677
together around the world . And this is

00:25.677 --> 00:27.843
an opportunity for us to continue that

00:27.843 --> 00:28.843
rich legacy .

00:32.990 --> 00:35.580
The end state is that we both have the

00:35.590 --> 00:37.646
ability to fight together and win in

00:37.646 --> 00:39.812
the Pacific and really anywhere in the

00:39.812 --> 00:41.923
world . And we have a lot of training

00:41.923 --> 00:43.923
events coming up in the near future

00:43.923 --> 00:46.034
that this is gonna set conditions for

00:47.069 --> 00:49.400
partnerships are not made in war ,

00:49.700 --> 00:50.729
they're made before .
