1
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:05,420
- [Interviewer] Looking at?

2
00:00:05,420 --> 00:00:07,340
- Well they would be looking at a target line

3
00:00:07,340 --> 00:00:09,290
where the targets are that we shoot at,

4
00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:12,360
a berm that's about a hundred meters away

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,400
where you lay down in the prone position

6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:15,500
to shoot at the targets.

7
00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:17,770
Another berm that's 200 meters away

8
00:00:18,010 --> 00:00:20,010
and another berm that's 300 meters away

9
00:00:20,010 --> 00:00:24,280
so as you shoot, you progressively get better

10
00:00:24,910 --> 00:00:26,450
and more accurate for long range

11
00:00:26,450 --> 00:00:28,700
as you get farther away from the target line.

12
00:00:29,180 --> 00:00:30,300
I think it went great.

13
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,720
I mean everybody was motivated to be here,

14
00:00:33,030 --> 00:00:37,270
the US soldiers and the Senegalese were good operators,

15
00:00:37,270 --> 00:00:39,540
they were skilled and they were highly motivated,

16
00:00:39,540 --> 00:00:40,373
it was awesome.

17
00:00:42,210 --> 00:00:43,683
- [Interviewer] What's your main takeaway from this?

18
00:00:43,683 --> 00:00:45,370
- For me, it's the collaboration

19
00:00:45,370 --> 00:00:46,810
with the Senegalese soldiers.

20
00:00:46,810 --> 00:00:48,680
I mean our soldiers worked well with them.

21
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:49,930
They worked well with us.

22
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:51,200
Everything went great.

23
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,100
We operated equipment together,

24
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,850
we did layout together, we ate together,

25
00:00:57,210 --> 00:00:59,430
we spent a lot of time working with each other,

26
00:00:59,430 --> 00:01:00,480
learning about cultures,

27
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,970
and then learning our engineer skills with each other

28
00:01:02,970 --> 00:01:05,420
so we could take it back to our units

29
00:01:05,420 --> 00:01:08,810
and even develop more and actually have gained overall

30
00:01:08,810 --> 00:01:10,680
in our troop leadership positions.

31
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,320
- [Interviewer] What do you get out of it?

32
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:14,780
- Well, I think it's great because many

33
00:01:14,780 --> 00:01:16,860
of them haven't deployed and it gives them a chance

34
00:01:16,860 --> 00:01:18,510
to get out of their comfort zone,

35
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,290
get here to work, and there's whole different units

36
00:01:21,290 --> 00:01:23,600
to experience, I mean, it's just a good time

37
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,220
to get away and actually focus on one thing at a time.

38
00:01:28,380 --> 00:01:31,260
