WEBVTT 00:04.960 --> 00:07.071 The ace . To me , the aviation combat 00:07.071 --> 00:09.293 element means the collection of all the 00:09.293 --> 00:11.404 aviation assets that the Marine Corps 00:11.404 --> 00:13.627 has to provide . The V 22 ospreys , the 00:13.627 --> 00:15.738 ch 53 Echo Super Stallions , the F-35 00:15.738 --> 00:17.849 lightning , the H one S including the 00:17.849 --> 00:19.793 utility helicopters and the attack 00:19.793 --> 00:21.849 helicopters . It brings every one of 00:21.849 --> 00:21.420 those units together and the 00:21.430 --> 00:23.319 maintainers involved and everyone 00:23.319 --> 00:25.486 involved to keep those units alive all 00:25.486 --> 00:27.541 in one place . So the overall intent 00:27.541 --> 00:29.652 behind the aviation combat element is 00:29.652 --> 00:29.079 to provide the six functions of marine 00:29.090 --> 00:30.701 aviation to the mu and phase 00:30.701 --> 00:32.479 capabilities ashore to continue 00:32.479 --> 00:34.757 momentum in a multi domain environment . 00:36.889 --> 00:38.833 We're conducting a lot of training 00:38.833 --> 00:41.056 specifically towards that guidance . So 00:41.056 --> 00:43.111 with the expeditionary advanced base 00:43.111 --> 00:44.889 operations , our planning , our 00:44.889 --> 00:47.111 proficiency , our currency , all of our 00:47.111 --> 00:49.056 mission set is driven towards that 00:49.056 --> 00:51.167 guidance , whether it's aircraft like 00:51.167 --> 00:53.389 the Cobras and the Hueys developing new 00:53.389 --> 00:55.556 techniques . So even though they can't 00:55.556 --> 00:55.360 have the range that the other aircraft 00:55.369 --> 00:57.480 do , they're still very relevant in a 00:57.480 --> 01:00.599 near peer threat in developing our new 01:00.610 --> 01:03.119 assets like capabilities . F-35 brings 01:03.130 --> 01:05.186 to the table and the assault support 01:05.186 --> 01:07.408 aircraft behind me bring to the table . 01:07.408 --> 01:09.574 We're using all those combined to stay 01:09.574 --> 01:11.408 relevant in this a for sustained 01:11.408 --> 01:13.519 conflict in a forward operating space 01:13.720 --> 01:15.887 base is going to use the assault sport 01:15.889 --> 01:18.250 aircraft combined with the combat 01:18.260 --> 01:20.371 logistics battalion . And we're going 01:20.371 --> 01:22.316 to project our power forward using 01:22.316 --> 01:24.427 expeditionary advanced base operation 01:24.427 --> 01:26.649 techniques combined with forward arming 01:26.649 --> 01:28.816 and refueling points and also moving C 01:28.816 --> 01:30.649 two or command and control power 01:30.649 --> 01:32.760 forward to allow us to operate in any 01:32.760 --> 01:34.982 environment for short term or long term 01:34.982 --> 01:36.982 capabilities . So this is ready for 01:36.982 --> 01:39.149 anything , whether it's jungle warfare 01:39.149 --> 01:38.949 and our capabilities to insert people 01:38.959 --> 01:41.126 without actually landing on the ground 01:41.126 --> 01:43.239 via fast rope via boats via any 01:43.250 --> 01:45.528 capabilities that we organically bring . 01:45.528 --> 01:47.580 As a new uh ace is always ready to 01:47.589 --> 01:49.589 support all of those missions . The 01:49.589 --> 01:51.756 ultimate goal with our capabilities as 01:51.756 --> 01:53.589 an aviation combat element is to 01:53.589 --> 01:55.756 execute our mission set day or night , 01:55.756 --> 01:57.922 no matter the time , whether it's noon 01:57.922 --> 02:00.145 or midnight we're ready to execute . So 02:00.145 --> 02:02.311 I'm a F-35 pilot , I'm 1/5 gen stealth 02:02.311 --> 02:04.478 fighter . I wanna be flying at night . 02:04.478 --> 02:06.645 We train a lot to have a high level of 02:06.645 --> 02:06.589 proficiency to out psyche our 02:06.599 --> 02:08.979 adversaries and respond to any threat 02:08.990 --> 02:11.550 in kind . We're able to offer speed and 02:11.559 --> 02:13.479 maneuver real time , battlefield 02:13.490 --> 02:16.309 assessments , insertion , extraction , 02:16.369 --> 02:18.536 things that are not innate to a ground 02:18.536 --> 02:22.369 element exclusively saved , directed .
