 Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Bauer, I'm from Leicester, Massachusetts, and I'm the Civil Affairs Marine assigned to Task Force Quantico. The mission of Civil Affairs is to identify civil considerations for the commander to take on board and provide the commander with timely information to make relevant decisions on a daily basis. In this context, the Civil Affairs Marines are connecting with our Afghan allies who are here at Upshire on a daily basis to understand the needs of safety, health while providing respect and future possibilities and hope for our Afghan allies who are here with us. Operation Allies Welcome provides an opportunity for us as Marines to support the Afghan residents that we're living here in Upshire with. And some of the things that we identify as Civil Affairs Marines are resiliency within the community in which we partner with. And it's amazing to see the internal ownership of our new residents as they step up and want to provide expertise within their traditional areas. Some of them are sports players, some of them are teachers, some of them are doctors. And a lot of our Afghan partners who are here at Upshire are English-speaking, and they really want to play a crucial role to support the residents that we're sharing our space here with them because they want to take a partnership with the Marines here to provide the best support and services for their friends and neighbors within Upshire.
