 My name is Captain Brian Burlin. I'm the company commander at Transportation Company Alpha, Third Transportation Battalion. We're doing Resolute Dragon to assess and improve our interoperability with strategic level partners. In this case, Japan and the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force. I think we learned a lot during Resolute Dragon, specifically on how we can work together the U.S. Marine Corps and the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force. One of those things we learned is that you have to approach the bilateral training that we plan with an open mind. Again, you have to look for the areas within your warfighting function where you can be most interoperable. And then you have to find the areas within your warfighting function where you're not yet interoperable, but again with work you can get there. Because we as Marines and we as Americans know that we will never go to war alone. We will always depend on our strategic allies and partners such as Japan.
