1
00:00:00,439 --> 00:00:03,920
Say bye bye . We are 

2
00:00:03,930 --> 00:00:05,819
supporting the exercise immediate 

3
00:00:05,819 --> 00:00:08,097
response which falls under defender 24 . 

4
00:00:08,710 --> 00:00:10,654
We're doing that here in Poland in 

5
00:00:10,654 --> 00:00:12,766
terms of readiness and you look at it 

6
00:00:12,766 --> 00:00:14,877
and two factors here . One thing that 

7
00:00:14,877 --> 00:00:17,099
we're building , that's key here is our 

8
00:00:17,099 --> 00:00:19,154
continued relationship with Poland . 

9
00:00:19,154 --> 00:00:18,590
We've crossed over the 30 year 

10
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,600
threshold for our partnership , our 

11
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,711
state partnership program with Poland 

12
00:00:22,711 --> 00:00:24,822
and being here just kind of generates 

13
00:00:24,822 --> 00:00:26,656
that inner national relationship 

14
00:00:26,659 --> 00:00:28,770
building . So that's readiness factor 

15
00:00:28,770 --> 00:00:30,992
number one internally for the battalion 

16
00:00:30,992 --> 00:00:33,048
during the table six qualification . 

17
00:00:34,599 --> 00:00:35,509
Hey drop 

18
00:00:38,830 --> 00:00:39,599
four , 

19
00:00:43,189 --> 00:00:45,549
live firing in an austere environment . 

20
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,671
And by austere just means some of the 

21
00:00:47,671 --> 00:00:49,838
equipment that we have we normally use 

22
00:00:49,838 --> 00:00:51,949
wasn't available to us . So we had to 

23
00:00:51,949 --> 00:00:54,060
adapt and overcome those challenges . 

24
00:00:54,060 --> 00:00:56,171
You know , we work through those . We 

25
00:00:56,171 --> 00:00:58,338
get , we get over the hill , we're out 

26
00:00:58,338 --> 00:01:00,449
there firing just to kind of focus on 

27
00:01:00,449 --> 00:01:02,060
that integration with higher 

28
00:01:02,060 --> 00:01:01,869
headquarters as well as our fullest 

29
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:02,380
partners .
