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 .
