1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,610
mm hmm . Mountains regardless of where 

2
00:00:03,610 --> 00:00:05,832
they are , whether they're in africa or 

3
00:00:05,832 --> 00:00:08,054
in the antarctic offer some of the most 

4
00:00:08,054 --> 00:00:10,221
inhospitable terrain on the planet and 

5
00:00:10,221 --> 00:00:12,332
require different skill set more than 

6
00:00:12,332 --> 00:00:14,510
what basic training and other aspects 

7
00:00:14,510 --> 00:00:16,066
of military training really 

8
00:00:16,066 --> 00:00:20,260
offer . 

9
00:00:20,340 --> 00:00:23,740
This is part of a mutual cooperation 

10
00:00:23,750 --> 00:00:25,806
cooperation with the U . S . And the 

11
00:00:25,806 --> 00:00:28,930
french . So this is kind of uh mutual 

12
00:00:28,930 --> 00:00:31,910
teaching and the U . S . Came here to 

13
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,260
teach the french uh their own 

14
00:00:35,260 --> 00:00:37,890
techniques and we do the same things 

15
00:00:37,890 --> 00:00:39,834
but different ways . So it is very 

16
00:00:39,834 --> 00:00:42,180
interesting for us to discover new uh 

17
00:00:42,190 --> 00:00:45,380
to have a new view on what we do . A 

18
00:00:46,340 --> 00:00:48,451
little bit of that course is going to 

19
00:00:48,451 --> 00:00:50,618
be five days long and it's going to be 

20
00:00:50,618 --> 00:00:53,440
a variety of really basic mountain 

21
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,990
warfare tasks , knot tying and rope 

22
00:00:55,990 --> 00:00:59,440
coiling as well as um a bunch 

23
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,440
of rope climbing , ascending techniques 

24
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,390
and repelling . We'll have a big focus 

25
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,830
on rescue skills and how to evacuate 

26
00:01:07,830 --> 00:01:10,280
injured soldiers using litters with 

27
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,502
ropes and blaze . And that's gonna be a 

28
00:01:12,502 --> 00:01:14,724
really big part of this , this five day 

29
00:01:14,724 --> 00:01:17,860
program on the way 

30
00:01:18,540 --> 00:01:20,830
the ability to dominate certain terrain 

31
00:01:20,830 --> 00:01:23,200
features is a really big assets when it 

32
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,422
comes to maneuver warfare . And this is 

33
00:01:25,422 --> 00:01:27,960
base level for an individual to be able 

34
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:30,127
to start taking on some of the mastery 

35
00:01:30,127 --> 00:01:32,127
of the skills that are necessary to 

36
00:01:32,127 --> 00:01:34,071
dominate that kind of terrain . It 

37
00:01:34,071 --> 00:01:33,790
demonstrates what the capabilities of 

38
00:01:33,790 --> 00:01:35,790
an individual are later on down the 

39
00:01:35,790 --> 00:01:38,510
line , you know , so it's that they can 

40
00:01:38,510 --> 00:01:40,621
go out and accomplish these tasks and 

41
00:01:40,621 --> 00:01:42,843
what seems to be a mountain to climb at 

42
00:01:42,843 --> 00:01:44,843
the end of the day wasn't as bad as 

43
00:01:44,843 --> 00:01:44,650
maybe they thought it was .
