 as a long-range precision fires provider is to integrate with multinational partners and our allies and demonstrate our ability to deliver long-range precision fires in support of the combined and collective defense of the European theater. Our mission today is to work with our allies and our peers here in NATO and in Europe and do a live fire firing reduced-range practice rockets along with our British counterpart and to perform a table 12 certification for my first fire platoon and on my four launchers. The MLRS has an effective weapons system versatility being able to fire in all weather conditions where others can't. The family of munitions ranging from unguided to guided are range and the lethality of the munitions. Our UK counterparts are great. Their equipment a little different than ours and it's pretty cool working with them. They also have some different characteristics to their launchers and different storage things that the UK specific added to their launchers that we've never seen. That's a learning experience how they stowed their gear how they towed it and yeah it's a very interesting they're all good soldiers good guys and we've had a lot of fun doing it. I've been out here a few days rehearsing they are prepared to execute and they're going to do an excellent job. Okay we have three set of fire missions going on today the first fire mission would be an at my command type which means that they take their fire command from our fire direction control digitally comes through the radio as a digital signal and then they're told to fire exactly from the one time we wanted to fire. The second type of mission we're shooting today is called a fire win ready that means that the fire mission comes into the launcher then the launcher gives full rain over to the crew to fire it exactly when they're ready so they kind of hustle and try to get ready everybody wants to shoot first however today we're going to time that so that we try to get all the launchers to shoot identically as fast as possible then the last mission most technical of all is the time on target. Time on target mission means that each one of the launchers is going to fire a bit differently at the same exact target landing the rounds at precisely the same instant on the target. Demonstrating our ability to rapidly deploy provide options to our senior commanders here in Europe and demonstrate interoperability with our partners and allies.
