00:00.439 --> 00:03.920
Say bye bye . We are

00:03.930 --> 00:05.819
supporting the exercise immediate

00:05.819 --> 00:08.097
response which falls under defender 24 .

00:08.710 --> 00:10.654
We're doing that here in Poland in

00:10.654 --> 00:12.766
terms of readiness and you look at it

00:12.766 --> 00:14.877
and two factors here . One thing that

00:14.877 --> 00:17.099
we're building , that's key here is our

00:17.099 --> 00:19.154
continued relationship with Poland .

00:19.154 --> 00:18.590
We've crossed over the 30 year

00:18.600 --> 00:20.600
threshold for our partnership , our

00:20.600 --> 00:22.711
state partnership program with Poland

00:22.711 --> 00:24.822
and being here just kind of generates

00:24.822 --> 00:26.656
that inner national relationship

00:26.659 --> 00:28.770
building . So that's readiness factor

00:28.770 --> 00:30.992
number one internally for the battalion

00:30.992 --> 00:33.048
during the table six qualification .

00:34.599 --> 00:35.509
Hey drop

00:38.830 --> 00:39.599
four ,

00:43.189 --> 00:45.549
live firing in an austere environment .

00:45.560 --> 00:47.671
And by austere just means some of the

00:47.671 --> 00:49.838
equipment that we have we normally use

00:49.838 --> 00:51.949
wasn't available to us . So we had to

00:51.949 --> 00:54.060
adapt and overcome those challenges .

00:54.060 --> 00:56.171
You know , we work through those . We

00:56.171 --> 00:58.338
get , we get over the hill , we're out

00:58.338 --> 01:00.449
there firing just to kind of focus on

01:00.449 --> 01:02.060
that integration with higher

01:02.060 --> 01:01.869
headquarters as well as our fullest

01:01.880 --> 01:02.380
partners .
