WEBVTT 00:01.799 --> 00:04.139 The adversary never takes a day off . 00:06.170 --> 00:08.729 This past week we've grown not just in 00:08.729 --> 00:10.529 capability but in unity . 00:12.670 --> 00:15.003 Together we've tackled tough challenges , 00:15.229 --> 00:17.396 strengthened our readiness , and build 00:17.396 --> 00:19.229 relationships that will carry us 00:19.229 --> 00:20.229 forward . 00:25.930 --> 00:29.000 It's just cool . A lot of , uh , a lot 00:29.000 --> 00:31.111 of hands-on experience . We get to do 00:31.111 --> 00:33.167 some CB work , so it's not too bad . 00:36.840 --> 00:39.110 Your dedication and relentless pursuit 00:39.110 --> 00:40.888 to improve and prepare has been 00:40.888 --> 00:43.720 impressive . What we achieved this week 00:44.009 --> 00:46.176 has not been achieved anywhere else in 00:46.176 --> 00:48.231 the Marine Corps or the JGSDF ever . 00:58.290 --> 01:01.759 Um , feel good , feel up , and I got a 01:01.759 --> 01:03.981 lot more to get done , so it's gonna be 01:03.981 --> 01:07.819 a long day . Our focus 01:07.819 --> 01:11.419 on active 26 was how to maintain base 01:11.419 --> 01:14.690 functions essential to our flight 01:14.690 --> 01:15.690 operations . 01:19.180 --> 01:21.779 God , I love it . This is my 3rd time . 01:22.730 --> 01:25.290 Uh , getting to work with the JGSDF and 01:25.709 --> 01:28.190 it's a great time . Current 01:28.190 --> 01:30.412 international circumstances are rapidly 01:30.412 --> 01:33.160 changing at a pace far greater than our 01:33.160 --> 01:35.529 imagination , especially in the in the 01:35.529 --> 01:38.309 Pacific region where hegemonic powers 01:38.309 --> 01:40.589 escalate their military activities and 01:40.589 --> 01:42.629 the threat they pose is imminent . 01:53.550 --> 01:55.680 The Japan US alliance is one of the 01:55.680 --> 01:57.839 most consequential and powerful 01:57.839 --> 01:59.720 alliances in the world and is a 01:59.720 --> 02:01.919 cornerstone of national security in 02:01.919 --> 02:05.139 Asia Pacific . I am convinced that our 02:05.139 --> 02:07.139 relationships and bonds have become 02:07.139 --> 02:08.139 even stronger . 02:11.720 --> 02:13.960 Let's leave here knowing this is not 02:13.960 --> 02:16.130 the end . It's a way point . Our 02:16.130 --> 02:18.750 journey continues with strategy , 02:18.960 --> 02:20.960 precision , endurance , and 02:20.960 --> 02:23.600 adaptability , all standing on the firm 02:23.600 --> 02:25.830 foundation of our relationships .
