WEBVTT 00:01.759 --> 00:02.759 And I said 00:18.040 --> 00:20.262 today's events promote interoperability 00:20.262 --> 00:22.829 by allowing us to work alongside NATO 00:22.840 --> 00:24.896 as most of us are used to doing over 00:24.896 --> 00:26.951 here . But it's a really interesting 00:26.951 --> 00:29.118 opportunity to not only be doing these 00:29.118 --> 00:31.284 events and challenges alongside them , 00:31.284 --> 00:33.396 but to also compete in something that 00:33.396 --> 00:35.618 they're more specialized in . I think a 00:35.618 --> 00:37.784 competition best increases our soldier 00:37.784 --> 00:39.673 readiness by having a lot of well 00:39.673 --> 00:38.919 rounded events . You know , you have 00:38.930 --> 00:41.097 people coming from clinical settings , 00:41.097 --> 00:43.041 combat settings and we're all just 00:43.041 --> 00:44.930 coming together , we're getting a 00:44.930 --> 00:44.479 little bit uncomfortable and things we 00:44.490 --> 00:46.601 don't typically get a lot of hands on 00:46.610 --> 00:48.666 it because once it is over , there's 00:48.666 --> 00:50.777 quite simply not anything harder than 00:50.777 --> 00:53.330 we could go through 101 150 00:55.630 --> 00:57.574 the candidates this morning , they 00:57.574 --> 00:59.797 completed an 18 mile ruck that led into 00:59.797 --> 01:02.019 a stress shoot , 18 miles , takes a lot 01:02.019 --> 01:04.241 on your body and then to come over here 01:04.241 --> 01:06.574 and then complete a range qualification . 01:06.574 --> 01:05.940 Especially right now when it's cold out 01:05.949 --> 01:08.116 here with 20 degree weather and snow , 01:10.120 --> 01:12.176 they're capable of pushing forward , 01:12.176 --> 01:14.342 they're cold , they're tired , they're 01:14.342 --> 01:16.453 hungry and then immediately come over 01:16.453 --> 01:18.676 here and then do a range call what more 01:18.676 --> 01:18.510 of it is . It's a mental game . 01:22.760 --> 01:24.720 The purpose of today's event is a 01:24.730 --> 01:26.897 tactical field care . In this case was 01:26.897 --> 01:29.063 an indirect fire . We had to treat the 01:29.063 --> 01:31.174 patient on where they got injured and 01:31.174 --> 01:33.349 then bring it to the station . The way 01:33.360 --> 01:35.193 that they test it is to create a 01:35.193 --> 01:37.629 stressful environment because it's easy 01:37.639 --> 01:39.989 to do all the tactical filter when you 01:40.000 --> 01:42.056 are raised , but we have to be ready 01:42.056 --> 01:44.167 for everything . That's what it means 01:44.167 --> 01:46.278 to be a compliment . Make sure that , 01:46.278 --> 01:46.139 that we have the right mindset to the 01:46.150 --> 01:47.594 rest of the competition . 01:55.769 --> 01:58.000 It's us capability , seeing what we can 01:58.010 --> 02:00.449 do in the battlefield as a group with 02:00.459 --> 02:02.489 our allied forces , it brings the 02:02.500 --> 02:05.110 knowledge up to par with how we can 02:05.120 --> 02:07.360 take care of our own patients so we can 02:07.370 --> 02:10.259 be in the same sheet of music to get to 02:10.270 --> 02:12.492 experience . What would it be like on a 02:12.492 --> 02:14.603 combat field environment ? As long as 02:14.603 --> 02:16.826 you and your teammate can go through it 02:16.826 --> 02:19.103 together and , and accomplish the goal . 02:19.103 --> 02:18.919 That's all that matters .
