1
00:00:00,353 --> 00:00:04,020
(dramatic orchestral music)

2
00:00:06,970 --> 00:00:08,980
- [Zachary] The Americans and Aussies have

3
00:00:08,980 --> 00:00:10,570
a storied history of fighting alongside

4
00:00:10,570 --> 00:00:12,650
each other ever since World War I.

5
00:00:12,650 --> 00:00:15,510
And right from the start we integrate

6
00:00:15,510 --> 00:00:17,943
and operate on a much higher level.

7
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,520
- Exercise Koolendong is a
multilateral live fire exercise

8
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,520
in the combined arms setting
involving the US Marine Corp,

9
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,770
the Australians, and
the French Armed Forces.

10
00:00:58,420 --> 00:01:02,020
- We have about 2,500
Marines here in Darwin,

11
00:01:02,020 --> 00:01:04,630
and we've brought about 750 to 800 of them

12
00:01:04,630 --> 00:01:08,263
out to Mount Bundy to do
a culminating exercise.

13
00:01:10,199 --> 00:01:12,866
(cannon firing)

14
00:01:17,875 --> 00:01:19,800
(muffled chattering)

15
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,430
Being a rifleman and being sacked

16
00:01:21,430 --> 00:01:25,460
by seeing what we have in
the present for someone

17
00:01:25,460 --> 00:01:27,537
that we probably won't ever meet.

18
00:01:33,389 --> 00:01:36,472
(muffled chattering)

19
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,033
We keep this together,

20
00:01:39,033 --> 00:01:41,217
it closes the bond that we have.

21
00:01:44,180 --> 00:01:46,930
(bomb exploding)

22
00:01:50,170 --> 00:01:52,343
- [Soldier] It's more than
just being out on the range.
