00:05.889 --> 00:07.969
Court is the quarterly underway

00:07.969 --> 00:10.329
amphibious readiness training , just

00:10.329 --> 00:12.440
another training aspect that we do to

00:12.440 --> 00:14.773
integrate in the Navy Marine Corps team .

00:18.309 --> 00:21.440
We practice both static and underway

00:21.440 --> 00:23.709
day and night launches out the back of

00:23.709 --> 00:25.765
the well deck , making sure that the

00:25.765 --> 00:27.876
well deck crews and the navy side get

00:27.876 --> 00:30.042
their repetitions on how to safely and

00:30.042 --> 00:32.153
properly ground guide us and allow us

00:32.153 --> 00:34.209
to come into the well deck under any

00:34.209 --> 00:35.876
conditions that we may face .

00:40.900 --> 00:44.369
The way that the ACV has improved upon

00:44.470 --> 00:48.169
the AAV is now we have a more capable

00:48.169 --> 00:50.590
of armored platform and we can see

00:50.590 --> 00:52.534
ourselves more or less as a mobile

00:52.534 --> 00:54.990
heavy machine gun asset to the ground

00:54.990 --> 00:57.212
combat element as far as the infantry .

00:57.810 --> 01:00.088
Fight a lot when it comes to the fight ,

01:00.088 --> 01:02.199
so we're able to embark 13 Marines in

01:02.199 --> 01:04.220
the back . They all have stabilized

01:04.220 --> 01:06.220
seats with 5 point harnesses . It's

01:06.220 --> 01:08.489
more blast resistant than the AAV was .

01:08.599 --> 01:10.769
It has a V-shaped hole . And then when

01:10.769 --> 01:12.769
it comes to just the profile in the

01:12.769 --> 01:15.047
water , uh , we sit a little bit lower .

01:21.510 --> 01:23.949
The amphibious combat vehicle is more

01:23.949 --> 01:26.510
than ready to forward deploy around the

01:26.510 --> 01:29.309
world and meet any mission or adversary

01:29.309 --> 01:31.309
that may come . The Marines that we

01:31.309 --> 01:33.629
have here in ACV Company , they're the

01:33.629 --> 01:35.962
best Marines that anybody could ask for .

01:36.069 --> 01:38.347
They give their all day in and day out .

01:38.347 --> 01:40.569
This vehicle has been tried and true

01:40.569 --> 01:42.736
over the last 5 years since we've been

01:42.736 --> 01:43.736
utilizing it .

01:50.300 --> 01:52.356
A successful court , what that looks

01:52.356 --> 01:55.430
like for myself and my marines is that

01:55.430 --> 01:58.269
we are proficient to launch off the

01:58.269 --> 02:00.380
back of the naval vessel , whether it

02:00.380 --> 02:02.580
be day or night , whether the ship be

02:02.580 --> 02:06.470
at anchor or underway . The ability to

02:06.470 --> 02:08.990
successfully splash off the ship , land

02:08.990 --> 02:11.309
those troops ashore , and if need be

02:11.309 --> 02:13.531
splash back through the surf and safely

02:13.531 --> 02:15.531
land back on the naval vessel to be

02:15.531 --> 02:17.698
able to support follow-on operations .

02:20.800 --> 02:22.856
Do you have any last things to say ?

02:24.500 --> 02:25.350
Yeah , yes .
