00:00.440 --> 00:03.610
mm hmm . Mountains regardless of where

00:03.610 --> 00:05.832
they are , whether they're in africa or

00:05.832 --> 00:08.054
in the antarctic offer some of the most

00:08.054 --> 00:10.221
inhospitable terrain on the planet and

00:10.221 --> 00:12.332
require different skill set more than

00:12.332 --> 00:14.510
what basic training and other aspects

00:14.510 --> 00:16.066
of military training really

00:16.066 --> 00:20.260
offer .

00:20.340 --> 00:23.740
This is part of a mutual cooperation

00:23.750 --> 00:25.806
cooperation with the U . S . And the

00:25.806 --> 00:28.930
french . So this is kind of uh mutual

00:28.930 --> 00:31.910
teaching and the U . S . Came here to

00:31.920 --> 00:35.260
teach the french uh their own

00:35.260 --> 00:37.890
techniques and we do the same things

00:37.890 --> 00:39.834
but different ways . So it is very

00:39.834 --> 00:42.180
interesting for us to discover new uh

00:42.190 --> 00:45.380
to have a new view on what we do . A

00:46.340 --> 00:48.451
little bit of that course is going to

00:48.451 --> 00:50.618
be five days long and it's going to be

00:50.618 --> 00:53.440
a variety of really basic mountain

00:53.440 --> 00:55.990
warfare tasks , knot tying and rope

00:55.990 --> 00:59.440
coiling as well as um a bunch

00:59.440 --> 01:02.440
of rope climbing , ascending techniques

01:02.440 --> 01:05.390
and repelling . We'll have a big focus

01:05.400 --> 01:07.830
on rescue skills and how to evacuate

01:07.830 --> 01:10.280
injured soldiers using litters with

01:10.280 --> 01:12.502
ropes and blaze . And that's gonna be a

01:12.502 --> 01:14.724
really big part of this , this five day

01:14.724 --> 01:17.860
program on the way

01:18.540 --> 01:20.830
the ability to dominate certain terrain

01:20.830 --> 01:23.200
features is a really big assets when it

01:23.200 --> 01:25.422
comes to maneuver warfare . And this is

01:25.422 --> 01:27.960
base level for an individual to be able

01:27.960 --> 01:30.127
to start taking on some of the mastery

01:30.127 --> 01:32.127
of the skills that are necessary to

01:32.127 --> 01:34.071
dominate that kind of terrain . It

01:34.071 --> 01:33.790
demonstrates what the capabilities of

01:33.790 --> 01:35.790
an individual are later on down the

01:35.790 --> 01:38.510
line , you know , so it's that they can

01:38.510 --> 01:40.621
go out and accomplish these tasks and

01:40.621 --> 01:42.843
what seems to be a mountain to climb at

01:42.843 --> 01:44.843
the end of the day wasn't as bad as

01:44.843 --> 01:44.650
maybe they thought it was .
