WEBVTT 00:00.280 --> 00:02.849 The 3rd Marine Expeditionary Brigade is 00:02.849 --> 00:05.090 a unit that is constantly moving 00:05.090 --> 00:07.289 forward . If you're standing still , 00:07.449 --> 00:09.560 you're backing up , and that's simply 00:09.560 --> 00:11.930 not what we do . We are focused on 00:11.930 --> 00:15.250 making sure first and foremost that any 00:15.250 --> 00:17.549 task that the 3rd Marine Expeditionary 00:17.549 --> 00:20.090 Force needs , the 3rd Marine 00:20.090 --> 00:22.459 Expeditionary Brigade is ready to 00:22.459 --> 00:24.681 support with . And I will tell you that 00:24.681 --> 00:27.639 humanity serves as the base for 00:27.639 --> 00:29.639 everything that we do in the United 00:29.639 --> 00:31.920 States military and everything that our 00:31.920 --> 00:34.159 country stands for . What we were able 00:34.159 --> 00:36.299 to do with our Philippine partners 00:36.599 --> 00:39.720 going down to the Philippines after two 00:39.720 --> 00:42.860 massive typhoons . Blew through taking 00:42.860 --> 00:46.349 almost 300 lives was remarkable . So we 00:46.349 --> 00:48.060 were able to go out into the 00:48.060 --> 00:50.950 communities , bring food , water , 00:51.279 --> 00:54.159 medical supplies , and get to areas 00:54.159 --> 00:56.270 that normally could not be reached by 00:56.270 --> 00:58.437 vehicle by using all of our aircraft . 00:58.740 --> 01:01.060 I think another really important aspect 01:01.060 --> 01:03.116 of the Thorough Marine Expeditionary 01:03.116 --> 01:05.282 Brigade is that we have partnerships . 01:05.282 --> 01:06.949 We rehearse and work with the 01:06.949 --> 01:08.949 amphibious rapid deployment brigade 01:09.260 --> 01:12.220 which is focused more on crisis , 01:13.059 --> 01:14.837 which could be something like a 01:14.837 --> 01:17.110 humanitarian assistance disaster relief 01:17.459 --> 01:20.089 or it could be a small skirmish . That 01:20.089 --> 01:23.319 deterrence factor for an adversary has 01:23.319 --> 01:25.589 grown in a way . That I will tell you 01:25.589 --> 01:28.519 the calculation what would be required 01:28.519 --> 01:31.410 out of an adversary to seek or take an 01:31.410 --> 01:35.000 action against the United States of 01:35.000 --> 01:37.480 America and our allies and partners 01:37.480 --> 01:40.349 will be so consequential that it makes 01:40.349 --> 01:42.559 them think twice . And every day that 01:42.559 --> 01:44.839 they wake up and recognize that this 01:44.839 --> 01:47.000 isn't the day to move forward , it is 01:47.000 --> 01:48.556 the day that the 3rd Marine 01:48.556 --> 01:50.860 Expeditionary Brigade has done its job 01:51.000 --> 01:53.319 in alignment . The future is a bright 01:53.319 --> 01:55.589 one . It's a complicated one , but it's 01:55.589 --> 01:58.389 a bright one . The future requires 01:59.110 --> 02:01.269 continued understanding , continued 02:01.269 --> 02:03.709 growth . Our Secretary of War talks 02:03.709 --> 02:07.120 about peace through strength . Strength 02:07.120 --> 02:10.889 comes in alliances . And alliances 02:10.889 --> 02:13.479 build deterrence and by deterring 02:13.479 --> 02:16.660 adversaries through unity of effort and 02:16.660 --> 02:18.860 focus , we can make sure that we 02:18.860 --> 02:22.059 maintain a peaceful , prosperous , and 02:22.059 --> 02:24.580 stable Indoecom . What I'd like to 02:24.580 --> 02:26.929 close with is the key to success in all 02:26.929 --> 02:29.449 of this is one thing . It's the weapons 02:29.449 --> 02:31.727 system that the Marine Corps possesses , 02:31.770 --> 02:34.149 and the weapons system is not a rifle , 02:34.369 --> 02:36.536 it's not an artillery piece , it's not 02:36.536 --> 02:38.758 a jet aircraft , it's the United States 02:38.758 --> 02:41.399 Marine . It's a living , breathing , 02:41.559 --> 02:44.770 moral , ethical weapon , someone that 02:44.770 --> 02:47.130 can think about what they need to do in 02:47.130 --> 02:50.009 a dynamic environment and choose to do 02:50.009 --> 02:52.287 the right things for the right reasons , 02:52.369 --> 02:54.449 even if that means going kinetic on 02:54.449 --> 02:54.809 someone .
