00:05.619 --> 00:07.989
I am sure that neither strength nor

00:07.989 --> 00:11.979
numbers bring victory in war . It is

00:11.979 --> 00:14.201
the army that goes into battle stronger

00:14.201 --> 00:17.270
in their soul . Their enemy generally

00:17.270 --> 00:20.879
cannot withstand them . As part of

00:20.879 --> 00:23.879
Fleet Exercise 250 , the 26th Marine

00:23.879 --> 00:26.000
Expeditionary Unit demonstrated their

00:26.000 --> 00:28.799
ability to plan and execute joint and

00:28.799 --> 00:30.840
combined operations to enhance

00:30.840 --> 00:33.500
interoperability , improve readiness ,

00:33.759 --> 00:35.981
and integrate amphibious capabilities .

00:39.540 --> 00:41.939
We were the organization conducting the

00:41.939 --> 00:44.330
event responsible for developing ,

00:44.700 --> 00:48.259
organizing , and executing Fleet X 250

00:48.259 --> 00:50.203
events aboard Camp Lejeune , North

00:50.203 --> 00:51.203
Carolina .

00:59.389 --> 01:01.669
We had a really great opportunity to

01:01.669 --> 01:04.339
work at the 06 level across the war

01:04.339 --> 01:06.709
fighting functions and support the

01:06.709 --> 01:09.870
maneuver element from a Spanish BLT as

01:09.870 --> 01:12.203
they conducted actions on the objective .

01:19.209 --> 01:22.069
Fleet X 250 has been an incredible

01:22.069 --> 01:25.160
opportunity . We were able to execute

01:25.160 --> 01:28.400
planning , field operations , and

01:28.400 --> 01:31.599
really learn and grow as a team and

01:31.599 --> 01:34.160
forge those bonds with our Spanish ,

01:34.319 --> 01:37.629
French , and Italian counterparts . I

01:37.629 --> 01:40.069
think about where we were at and where

01:40.069 --> 01:42.889
we've come this month . And the many

01:42.889 --> 01:45.169
challenges and the lessons learned are

01:45.169 --> 01:47.113
really gonna apply when we conduct

01:47.113 --> 01:49.002
those operations , activities and

01:49.002 --> 01:52.449
investments with allies and partners in

01:52.449 --> 01:54.560
whatever geographic combatant command

01:54.560 --> 01:55.239
that we're deployed to .
