 For the Marines, the Sailors, the Marine Fighter-Attacks Squadron 242, and the members of USS America Crew, the eyes of the world are on you and your ability to integrate with our key ally. I want you all to remain focused and ensure the successful execution of this critically important capabilities test that you should be very proud to be a part of. For members of the region who will be watching closely, the state will have to recognize that bilateral interoperability demonstrated by this event cannot be accomplished by any other member in the region.
