 Here on Camp Ripley we are exercising our capabilities to operate in extreme cold conditions. As Navy divers, typically the waters that we work in, they change for geographical locations. The majority of the time we're diving in warmer to intermediate temperatures. Coming up here gets us the experience to not only operate in extreme cold waters, but topside conditions as well. In the demo range our task was to detonate 30 blocks of C4, so roughly 30 pounds. And the idea was to get familiarity with the system to utilize the equipment in extreme cold conditions and find its faults. A few of the challenges we faced are again the extreme weather conditions coming from a more southern state of Virginia. Nobody was used to these temperatures. We applied 38 Navy divers as ice divers. Therefore increasing our readiness and response time anywhere across the Arctic environment. Our goal here is to expose divers to the elements in various situations. That way if they're ever deployed in similar conditions they're ready and they already have similar experience in Arctic conditions. Another part of this is to allow them to see what kind of equipment we could use to better our mission and make things more convenient. Things that work better under the ice. Things that we could possibly purchase in the future to make our jobs more efficient. Camp Ripley is a great place to train. It's a proven place that we can come at any time to get some really great ice diving experience. The weather is phenomenal here and I see us in the future using this quite a bit. The support on this base has been absolutely perfect for ice diving. Camp Ripley offers everything that you could ask for extreme cold conditions. It's a safe training environment. It has everything that we need as far as training sites go and lights go. Burdening facilities. Camp Ripley has been a huge help in getting all of these set up where we have a controlled, safe environment to train. On behalf of the commanding officer of Mutsu-2 and the mobile diving savage unit 2 family we're forever grateful for the hospitality at Camp Ripley. Everybody here is acting like it's a 1 team 1 fight mission and they're here to support.
