00:03.450 --> 00:06.010
Today we're doing counter small UAS

00:06.010 --> 00:09.409
lanes with TTCG , the tact uh tactical

00:09.409 --> 00:11.298
Training Exercise Control Group .

00:12.489 --> 00:14.822
Basically we're running a 3 day package .

00:15.170 --> 00:18.729
Yesterday we trained lanes where the

00:18.729 --> 00:20.729
enemy was trying to defeat us as we

00:20.729 --> 00:23.170
conducted breaches . We also conducted

00:23.170 --> 00:26.170
patrols to try to identify enemy small

00:26.170 --> 00:29.450
UAS ground control stations as well as

00:29.450 --> 00:32.290
classes about how to better defeat

00:32.290 --> 00:34.401
enemy systems through non-kinetic and

00:34.401 --> 00:37.625
kinetic means and . Employ our friendly

00:37.965 --> 00:41.404
small UAS in support of counter drone

00:41.404 --> 00:43.626
operations . This training is important

00:43.626 --> 00:46.625
because this is a dynamically changing

00:47.165 --> 00:49.332
element on the battlefield , and we've

00:49.332 --> 00:51.443
been observing the lessons learned in

00:51.443 --> 00:54.404
Ukraine and in Gaza , and now we're

00:54.404 --> 00:56.404
starting to implement some of those

00:56.404 --> 00:58.645
lessons learned for us on the ground in

00:58.645 --> 01:02.069
the Marine Corps . The Marines are well

01:02.069 --> 01:04.013
versed in their urban tactics , in

01:04.013 --> 01:06.069
their patrolling tactics , and their

01:06.069 --> 01:08.291
breaching tactics , but adding an enemy

01:08.291 --> 01:10.309
UAS threat on top of that is really

01:10.309 --> 01:12.349
complicating things . So what we're

01:12.349 --> 01:14.516
having to train ourselves to do is not

01:14.516 --> 01:16.738
just get sucked into what's going on on

01:16.738 --> 01:18.905
the ground , but also pay attention to

01:18.905 --> 01:20.682
what's happening in the air and

01:20.682 --> 01:22.516
actively be able to defeat those

01:22.516 --> 01:24.571
systems that are trying to attack us

01:24.571 --> 01:26.349
while we're going through these

01:26.349 --> 01:26.269
critical events on the ground .

01:27.250 --> 01:29.472
Throughout our training package here at

01:29.472 --> 01:31.669
ITX , we're expecting to be up against

01:31.669 --> 01:33.836
a pretty tough attack drone threat , a

01:33.836 --> 01:36.002
recon drone threat that we're going to

01:36.002 --> 01:38.809
have to learn and implement new TTPs

01:38.809 --> 01:40.587
through the training that we're

01:40.587 --> 01:42.642
receiving here and implement them on

01:42.642 --> 01:45.540
Range 410 , Range 400 , Mad Max , the

01:45.540 --> 01:47.596
air assault , all the other training

01:47.596 --> 01:49.762
that we're going to do here , and then

01:49.762 --> 01:51.762
take those lessons learned back out

01:51.762 --> 01:51.690
into the fleet , into the operating

01:51.690 --> 01:53.489
forces , in our future deployments .
