1
00:00:00,519 --> 00:00:02,575
Territorial Defense Forces of Poland 

2
00:00:02,575 --> 00:00:04,741
are very similar to the National Guard 

3
00:00:04,741 --> 00:00:06,908
in that they are everyday citizens who 

4
00:00:06,908 --> 00:00:09,075
do this as their part-time job to help 

5
00:00:09,075 --> 00:00:11,075
defend their local area rather than 

6
00:00:11,075 --> 00:00:13,408
just the entirety of the Polish country . 

7
00:00:13,408 --> 00:00:15,352
Over the last few years we've sent 

8
00:00:15,352 --> 00:00:17,575
teams every year out here to train with 

9
00:00:17,575 --> 00:00:19,741
the TDF and kind of exchange knowledge 

10
00:00:19,741 --> 00:00:21,840
skills . This year , as we've 

11
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,896
progressed down , it's been more TDF 

12
00:00:23,896 --> 00:00:27,360
led and we're just here to advise and 

13
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,416
kind of learn some of the techniques 

14
00:00:29,416 --> 00:00:31,416
and tactics that they utilize . And 

15
00:00:31,416 --> 00:00:33,527
then show them some things that we do 

16
00:00:33,527 --> 00:00:35,471
so that they can test them out and 

17
00:00:35,471 --> 00:00:37,693
determine if it's a better fit for them 

18
00:00:37,693 --> 00:00:39,804
or not . We're teamed up with some of 

19
00:00:39,804 --> 00:00:41,749
the Polish army snipers as well as 

20
00:00:41,749 --> 00:00:43,916
border guards and police snipers , and 

21
00:00:43,916 --> 00:00:45,916
we're running through some advanced 

22
00:00:45,916 --> 00:00:48,034
sniper skills and we're truly seeing 

23
00:00:48,034 --> 00:00:50,354
how that's been molded by previous 

24
00:00:50,354 --> 00:00:52,755
state partnership program trips because 

25
00:00:52,755 --> 00:00:55,235
when we talk to them about what we want 

26
00:00:55,235 --> 00:00:57,346
to see happen , they're already doing 

27
00:00:57,346 --> 00:00:59,457
it . They already have that knowledge 

28
00:00:59,457 --> 00:00:59,014
set .
