WEBVTT 00:05.500 --> 00:08.119 Exercise cartwheel began at a very low 00:08.229 --> 00:10.930 level level of exercise five years ago 00:10.939 --> 00:13.840 in 2019 . Now today it has blossomed 00:13.850 --> 00:15.789 into a complex multilateral 00:15.800 --> 00:17.680 multinational event ranging from 00:17.690 --> 00:20.459 repelling the live fire exercise among 00:20.469 --> 00:22.691 many nations . This exercise called art 00:22.889 --> 00:26.450 reinforces bos literally forced over 83 00:26.459 --> 00:28.319 years ago in World War two , 00:31.350 --> 00:33.572 building relations and proficiency with 00:33.572 --> 00:35.517 other nations where we're standing 00:35.517 --> 00:37.294 right now , we just completed a 00:37.294 --> 00:39.517 combined arms live fire breach with the 00:39.517 --> 00:41.628 French infantry and an engineer squad 00:41.628 --> 00:43.683 from c engineer company . What we're 00:43.683 --> 00:45.406 doing is we're just conducting 00:45.406 --> 00:47.239 exercises with the other nations 00:47.239 --> 00:49.183 developing TTP S relationships and 00:49.183 --> 00:51.017 rehearsing movements to and from 00:51.017 --> 00:53.159 locations like Fiji . What makes us 00:53.169 --> 00:55.979 successful is being able to establish 00:55.990 --> 00:58.046 that rapport with the other NCOS and 00:58.046 --> 01:00.157 officers that are out executing these 01:00.157 --> 01:02.268 lanes from the American engineer unit 01:02.268 --> 01:04.323 here , the Republic of Fiji Military 01:04.323 --> 01:06.546 Force and French and the Australians in 01:06.546 --> 01:08.490 establishing that common operating 01:08.490 --> 01:10.379 picture of how we do things . And 01:10.379 --> 01:12.546 fortunately with Western countries and 01:12.546 --> 01:14.601 then the Fijians working with us and 01:14.601 --> 01:13.970 the training they've gotten from the 01:13.980 --> 01:16.036 Australians on the base level . It's 01:16.036 --> 01:18.202 kind of the same and universal . So we 01:18.202 --> 01:20.313 can still talk the same language when 01:20.313 --> 01:22.379 it comes to war fighting . We don't 01:22.389 --> 01:25.000 have any training in Fiji based on 01:25.010 --> 01:27.121 repelling . We don't have any schools 01:27.121 --> 01:29.288 that teach us repelling . This is most 01:29.288 --> 01:31.343 of us . It's the first time we learn 01:31.343 --> 01:33.566 from them , they learn from us and it's 01:33.566 --> 01:37.449 a combination . We need experts in 01:37.459 --> 01:39.403 these austere environments that we 01:39.403 --> 01:41.515 don't operate in a day to day basis . 01:41.515 --> 01:43.737 Us as National Guard soldiers . We have 01:43.737 --> 01:45.848 uh desert and forest and smell not as 01:45.848 --> 01:47.910 much a jungle or rainy environment , 01:47.919 --> 01:50.086 but it really will take the locals and 01:50.086 --> 01:51.919 those foreign militaries who are 01:51.919 --> 01:54.141 experts in those environments and those 01:54.141 --> 01:56.252 cultures to be able to lend a hand to 01:56.252 --> 01:58.419 the US and say this is how you do it . 01:58.419 --> 02:00.641 This is how you're gonna here . This is 02:00.641 --> 02:02.475 a stepping stone that as we know 02:02.475 --> 02:04.697 there's there's possible threats in the 02:04.697 --> 02:06.919 Pacific and this is crucial to continue 02:06.919 --> 02:09.030 to build and strengthen relationships 02:09.030 --> 02:11.086 for possible threats in the future . 02:11.086 --> 02:13.308 And not only that just we now know from 02:13.308 --> 02:15.197 this exercise how to get troops , 02:15.197 --> 02:17.141 equipment and explosives from Reno 02:17.141 --> 02:19.308 Nevada to Nadi Fiji . So those are all 02:19.308 --> 02:21.308 huge strategic plans for the Nevada 02:21.308 --> 02:20.785 National Guard .
