00:11.869 --> 00:14.539
The expeditionary communicator came

00:14.550 --> 00:17.819
from the 2018 commas planning guidance .

00:18.010 --> 00:19.677
It's an answer to what is the

00:19.677 --> 00:21.719
communicator of the future . The

00:21.729 --> 00:23.899
expeditionary communications course or

00:23.909 --> 00:26.569
the ECC is a 56 day course that is

00:26.579 --> 00:28.801
designed to make corporals . The gunner

00:28.801 --> 00:30.690
sergeants proficient in the 0 600

00:30.690 --> 00:32.857
occupational field marines are trained

00:32.857 --> 00:34.857
in the execution of each element of

00:34.857 --> 00:36.857
communications and how these skills

00:36.857 --> 00:38.190
apply to force design .

00:40.599 --> 00:43.939
Brilliant . The ECC has five phases ,

00:43.950 --> 00:45.672
each of which teaches the core

00:45.672 --> 00:47.783
discipline of communications , making

00:47.783 --> 00:50.006
marines more effective in their craft .

00:50.006 --> 00:52.228
The first phase teaches marines to plan

00:52.228 --> 00:54.006
and implement command control ,

00:54.006 --> 00:56.006
communications and computers in the

00:56.006 --> 00:58.228
expeditionary advanced based operations

00:58.228 --> 01:00.450
environment . Marines , learn about the

01:00.450 --> 01:00.209
ever growing capabilities of

01:00.220 --> 01:02.164
communication systems and emerging

01:02.164 --> 01:05.589
technologies . The second phase focuses

01:05.599 --> 01:07.655
equipping marines with the skills to

01:07.655 --> 01:09.266
effectively carry out ac two

01:09.266 --> 01:11.432
architecture by teaching configuring ,

01:11.432 --> 01:13.655
implementing and maintaining small form

01:13.655 --> 01:15.543
factor network and data systems .

01:15.543 --> 01:17.710
Marines also be trained in the network

01:17.710 --> 01:17.269
fundamentals integrating into the

01:17.279 --> 01:19.390
global network and their crucial role

01:19.390 --> 01:21.446
in facilitating critical information

01:21.446 --> 01:24.580
exchange . 3rd and 4th phase give

01:24.589 --> 01:26.756
marines an understanding of how narrow

01:26.756 --> 01:28.978
band and wide band transmission systems

01:28.978 --> 01:30.978
operate and what they're capable of

01:30.978 --> 01:32.978
marines will get the chance to work

01:32.978 --> 01:34.756
with both cutting edge gear and

01:34.756 --> 01:36.589
commercial off the shelf or cots

01:36.589 --> 01:38.478
systems , making marines ready to

01:38.478 --> 01:38.440
perform in warfare's harshest

01:38.449 --> 01:41.050
environments . In final phase ,

01:41.059 --> 01:43.281
students integrate each core discipline

01:43.281 --> 01:45.559
to show mastery in the art of planning ,

01:45.559 --> 01:47.726
installing , operating and maintaining

01:47.726 --> 01:49.615
ac two infrastructure . This will

01:49.615 --> 01:51.781
ensure students can properly integrate

01:51.781 --> 01:51.769
systems of communications in a tactical

01:51.779 --> 01:53.612
operations center , an essential

01:53.612 --> 01:57.069
component of any combat operation can

01:57.080 --> 01:59.191
be part of the future of war fighting

01:59.191 --> 02:00.969
in the Marine Corps and further

02:00.969 --> 02:02.802
yourself beyond your field . The

02:02.802 --> 02:03.190
expeditionary communications course .
