1
00:00:01,065 --> 00:00:03,815
(dramatic music)

2
00:00:14,775 --> 00:00:19,442
(boat speeding and skimming over water)

3
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,460
(dramatic music building)

4
00:00:38,230 --> 00:00:40,702
- The importance of this exercise is

5
00:00:40,702 --> 00:00:43,200
to simulate a last-ditch effort

6
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,700
to get the Sea First team,
vehicles and equipment

7
00:00:47,700 --> 00:00:50,760
across to the Virginia side of the river.

8
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,813
And we're here to do it safely
and effectively and quickly.

9
00:00:55,913 --> 00:00:58,663
(dramatic music)

10
00:01:05,774 --> 00:01:08,607
(hammer pounding)

11
00:01:12,330 --> 00:01:14,730
- Today is a joint effort
between the Marine Corps

12
00:01:14,730 --> 00:01:18,310
and the Navy in transporting us.

13
00:01:18,310 --> 00:01:21,580
So our job is to support
the National Capital Region,

14
00:01:21,580 --> 00:01:24,080
and in the event that we cannot access

15
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,920
the National Capital Region via roads,

16
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,050
then our secondary option for transport

17
00:01:29,050 --> 00:01:31,120
would be the Navy with these L-CATs.

18
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,750
So this is a training
exercise to make sure

19
00:01:33,750 --> 00:01:37,780
that both the Marine Corps
and Navy are on the same page.

20
00:01:37,780 --> 00:01:39,050
We know what we're supposed to do,

21
00:01:39,050 --> 00:01:41,250
what those working parts are, so that way

22
00:01:41,250 --> 00:01:43,800
in the event that we do have
to respond and use this mode

23
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,723
of transport, we all know what to do.

24
00:01:47,285 --> 00:01:49,380
- My favorite part of my
job is working with my crew

25
00:01:49,380 --> 00:01:51,910
and bettering sailors,
helping sailors along

26
00:01:52,830 --> 00:01:55,180
with their careers and being

27
00:01:55,180 --> 00:01:57,490
in this challenging environment.

28
00:01:57,490 --> 00:01:59,630
Watching them overcome the obstacles

29
00:01:59,630 --> 00:02:01,970
that they face day in and day out.

30
00:02:01,970 --> 00:02:04,783
And with these unconventional operations.

31
00:02:06,141 --> 00:02:08,891
(dramatic music)
