1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:01,630 --> 00:00:15,060 a 3 00:00:15,070 --> 00:00:18,160 sense of urgency that , that you can 4 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,910 feel between the Marine Corps and the 5 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,540 Japanese ground self defense force 6 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,860 to not be afraid to innovate mm hmm . 7 00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:33,820 To increase our procedures for 8 00:00:33,820 --> 00:00:34,720 coordination 9 00:00:36,150 --> 00:00:39,660 to increase our lethality . 10 00:00:45,150 --> 00:00:47,150 Yeah . Mhm 11 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,990 mm hmm . Rd 21 was a dynamic 12 00:00:53,990 --> 00:00:55,990 exercises unlike anything that I've 13 00:00:55,990 --> 00:00:58,320 ever done out with three MF or anywhere 14 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,320 else for that matter . And the fact 15 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,280 that the scale , scope , complexity and 16 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,780 the willingness to experiment , the 17 00:01:05,790 --> 00:01:07,850 willingness to make changes . The 18 00:01:07,860 --> 00:01:10,460 willingness to test different concepts 19 00:01:10,460 --> 00:01:12,920 was there on both sides . We're 20 00:01:12,930 --> 00:01:15,700 increasing our capabilities at a rapid 21 00:01:15,710 --> 00:01:19,260 pace . In terms 22 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,480 During the initial stage of 23 00:01:23,490 --> 00:01:25,720 Resolute Dragon 21 , the focus was 24 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,510 conducting a mixed mode dispersal to 25 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,650 key maritime terrain . 26 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,890 We used the combination of aviation 27 00:01:35,890 --> 00:01:38,420 platforms , surface level lift 28 00:01:38,430 --> 00:01:41,570 platforms . So that was a joint effort 29 00:01:41,580 --> 00:01:44,360 in order to build up combat power at R 30 00:01:44,370 --> 00:01:46,970 E A . B . S spread throughout mainland 31 00:01:46,970 --> 00:01:47,960 Japan . 32 00:01:54,540 --> 00:01:56,660 We want to bring every domain to the 33 00:01:56,660 --> 00:01:58,882 fight . We don't want to leave anything 34 00:01:58,882 --> 00:02:02,420 off the table . It's important that we 35 00:02:02,420 --> 00:02:04,642 capitalize on all the strengths and all 36 00:02:04,642 --> 00:02:06,753 the capabilities that the joint force 37 00:02:06,753 --> 00:02:09,270 provides in order to enable to stand in 38 00:02:09,270 --> 00:02:11,720 force to be able to conduct sea control 39 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,150 and sea denial actions . 40 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,290 Our next phase was to link up with the 41 00:02:19,290 --> 00:02:21,890 Japanese conduct a series of bilateral 42 00:02:21,890 --> 00:02:24,020 air assaults on two key maritime 43 00:02:24,020 --> 00:02:26,810 terrain and then to integrate joint 44 00:02:26,810 --> 00:02:28,480 force capability in Japanese 45 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,424 capabilities that would affect sea 46 00:02:30,424 --> 00:02:31,813 control and sea denial . 47 00:02:39,940 --> 00:02:42,162 One of the most critical aspects of R . 48 00:02:42,162 --> 00:02:46,100 D . 21 was our ability to pair Japan's 49 00:02:46,100 --> 00:02:48,800 surface to ship missile regiment with 50 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,040 naval capabilities that could sense 51 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,200 targets . We share that information 52 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,144 with the Japanese who were able to 53 00:02:55,144 --> 00:02:58,580 prosecute those targets fire . 54 00:02:59,940 --> 00:03:02,720 You can't look at the United States 55 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,370 Joint Force or the Japanese 56 00:03:04,380 --> 00:03:08,110 individually . You have to 57 00:03:08,110 --> 00:03:10,210 pull all those capabilities together 58 00:03:10,730 --> 00:03:14,730 and look at it from a total and 59 00:03:14,730 --> 00:03:16,397 there's some very interesting 60 00:03:16,397 --> 00:03:18,563 combinations of capability that you're 61 00:03:18,563 --> 00:03:20,563 going to now have to contend with . 62 00:03:20,563 --> 00:03:22,850 Once these are fused together , our 63 00:03:22,850 --> 00:03:25,300 ability to conduct multi domain 64 00:03:25,310 --> 00:03:27,570 operations with our partner here in 65 00:03:27,570 --> 00:03:31,150 Japan . It is certainly a strength . 66 00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:35,150 That combination increases the cost of 67 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,760 conflict to an unacceptable level and 68 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,871 that's exactly where we want it to be 69 00:03:44,740 --> 00:03:44,950 okay .
