WEBVTT 00:01.750 --> 00:03.806 The Marine Corps published a concept 00:03.806 --> 00:06.159 for the stand in force in December 2021 . 00:06.539 --> 00:08.706 The concept was inspired by the threat 00:08.706 --> 00:10.817 from the People's Republic of China . 00:10.817 --> 00:13.340 However , the ideas , tactics , and 00:13.340 --> 00:15.140 concepts from the manual can be 00:15.140 --> 00:16.251 employed globally . 00:23.899 --> 00:25.843 The security challenges around the 00:25.843 --> 00:28.149 world are constant and ever-changing . 00:28.559 --> 00:30.559 However , Marines are all ready for 00:30.559 --> 00:33.319 deployed , ready to protect America's 00:33.319 --> 00:36.330 interest . These already forward 00:36.330 --> 00:38.479 deployed marines can also be referred 00:38.479 --> 00:40.799 to as stand-in forces . 00:46.919 --> 00:49.319 So Stan in Force is , is trying to show 00:50.009 --> 00:53.450 our partnering nations that we have a 00:53.450 --> 00:55.450 buy-in and want to be a part of the 00:55.450 --> 00:57.617 environment with them and partner with 00:57.617 --> 00:59.839 them in their own security , as well as 00:59.839 --> 01:01.950 providing our security in our forward 01:01.950 --> 01:04.061 presence with our partners . And then 01:04.061 --> 01:06.172 as we continue on and you think about 01:06.172 --> 01:08.172 the standing force presence and the 01:08.172 --> 01:08.110 possibility of escalation in that a 01:08.110 --> 01:10.269 general region of the world , EABO 01:10.269 --> 01:12.380 concept or that expeditionary concept 01:12.750 --> 01:14.806 ties into that because that standing 01:14.806 --> 01:16.583 force provides that first leg . 01:19.080 --> 01:21.669 Sergeant Baumeister Castro , Evan Jay , 01:22.209 --> 01:24.459 I'm a 1st squad leader , 2nd platoon 01:24.459 --> 01:27.779 Kilo Company . Survivability , 01:28.400 --> 01:30.639 being able to operate independently as 01:30.639 --> 01:33.639 a squad . Uh , is super important , 01:33.730 --> 01:36.449 like whether it's relying on purifying 01:36.449 --> 01:40.250 water on your own or Just being 01:40.250 --> 01:42.417 and acting separately from the rest of 01:42.417 --> 01:45.779 the company platoon battalion . 01:46.910 --> 01:48.410 It allows you to work more 01:48.410 --> 01:49.410 independently . 02:06.410 --> 02:08.632 Uh , it definitely takes planning . You 02:08.632 --> 02:10.854 have to know the routes . Uh , you have 02:10.854 --> 02:12.910 to know that you're in . You have to 02:12.910 --> 02:12.369 know what your mission is , like you're 02:12.369 --> 02:14.480 not just going out there for a stroll 02:14.480 --> 02:16.591 around the park . Uh , this morning , 02:16.591 --> 02:18.813 for example , we had an ambush patrol . 02:18.813 --> 02:21.036 We had our friendly squads , uh , 1 and 02:21.036 --> 02:22.925 3rd squad pulling down from their 02:22.925 --> 02:24.758 position . And we're expecting a 02:24.758 --> 02:26.980 Japanese recon team , no , no more than 02:26.980 --> 02:29.360 like 5-6 guys to be following them , so 02:29.360 --> 02:31.193 we sent them to ambush , let our 02:31.193 --> 02:33.249 friendlies pass , and stay out there 02:33.249 --> 02:36.119 for about 2 hours just to expect or 02:36.119 --> 02:38.009 wait for them to pass , uh , 02:38.119 --> 02:40.286 potentially catch them off guard , not 02:40.286 --> 02:42.619 necessarily trying to take them all out , 02:42.619 --> 02:44.786 but to harass them enough to push them 02:44.786 --> 02:46.841 back , make them rethink how they're 02:46.841 --> 02:46.160 gonna attack this objective . 03:06.339 --> 03:08.506 It goes right back to the , we can see 03:08.506 --> 03:10.728 the Marine Corps him and we can pull it 03:10.728 --> 03:12.950 all out , right ? The time and place is 03:12.950 --> 03:14.783 a real thing . Understanding the 03:14.783 --> 03:16.728 environments that you operate in , 03:16.728 --> 03:18.728 regardless of what it is . So doing 03:18.728 --> 03:20.950 things in Thailand and in Korea , Japan 03:20.950 --> 03:23.117 your resolute dragon . The Philippines 03:23.117 --> 03:25.339 during Val Catan gives Marines exposure 03:25.339 --> 03:27.450 to those environments prior to having 03:27.450 --> 03:31.229 to operate in them . You know , 03:31.240 --> 03:33.449 shifting to that Pacific region , 03:33.960 --> 03:35.738 hopping from island to island , 03:35.738 --> 03:37.627 fighting in jungles , fighting in 03:37.627 --> 03:39.979 mountains like this . With our near 03:39.979 --> 03:42.090 peer adversaries coming out with this 03:42.090 --> 03:44.257 technology like this is what we need , 03:44.257 --> 03:46.423 we're not really fighting and focusing 03:46.423 --> 03:48.701 our assets for the Middle East anymore . 03:52.589 --> 03:54.478 Our goal for the national defense 03:54.478 --> 03:56.869 strategy is to be able to deter . Today 03:56.869 --> 03:59.830 is not the day for Xi Jinping . He 03:59.830 --> 04:01.941 should wake up every day saying today 04:01.941 --> 04:04.052 is not the day , maybe tomorrow , but 04:04.052 --> 04:06.163 not today , because I have to contend 04:06.163 --> 04:08.589 with subs . I have to contend with 04:08.589 --> 04:11.190 marine litoral regiments . I have to 04:11.190 --> 04:12.912 contend with anti-ship missile 04:12.912 --> 04:15.079 capabilities , and the last thing that 04:15.079 --> 04:17.230 I think he wants is to see Renhai and 04:17.230 --> 04:19.397 Liu Yangs on the bottom of the ocean . 04:31.250 --> 04:33.649 The Resolute dragon is very predominant 04:33.649 --> 04:35.760 because we're home stationed in Japan 04:35.760 --> 04:37.649 working out of Okinawa and out of 04:37.649 --> 04:39.871 mainland Fuji , and all of the units in 04:39.871 --> 04:41.927 the air wing that we have in Iwuni . 04:44.869 --> 04:46.647 So that that resident knowledge 04:46.647 --> 04:49.260 together and the fact that we will be 04:49.260 --> 04:51.204 able to establish partnerships and 04:51.204 --> 04:53.100 relations prior to having to do a 04:53.100 --> 04:54.140 rising conflict . 05:01.869 --> 05:03.591 Standing Force provides me the 05:03.591 --> 05:05.702 capability that if I have to lash out 05:05.702 --> 05:07.425 and get a hold of that inhuman 05:07.425 --> 05:09.369 individual and stop him from doing 05:09.369 --> 05:09.179 something bad , that's what the 05:09.179 --> 05:12.049 standing force does . But the mission 05:12.049 --> 05:14.271 of the Marine Corpsman is to close with 05:14.271 --> 05:16.605 destroy the enemy through fire maneuver . 05:17.000 --> 05:19.222 My job , a Marine infantry to me , is I 05:19.222 --> 05:20.480 go out and I break things and I kill .
