 Here on the unit deployment program, we have stayed away from the war training. Every day that we conduct combat rehearsals, it's for the top of the environment we're preparing to go into. Every operation, every exercise, every action that we execute here. No matter how much it may seem, it's meant to go after the enemy, to deter the enemy, prepare for that fight. When the day comes and that threat tries to seize the maritime terrain, we're going to be there. This is the force that's ready to fight now. The entire workup was focused on expeditionary advanced-based operations. Every day is meant to prepare for that fight in the defense of team maritime terrain. This prepares us for the future because now small unit leaders can drive the fight themselves because they know their Marines and their capabilities. Once my Marines hone these skills, we're staying focused and the Marine Corps will do what it's always done. We're designed to fight and kill. To everyone else who hasn't done the unit deployment program, this isn't your granddad's UDP. It's changed. It's come a long ways from what it was in the past. We're ready to fight and that's what we were born to do. We are here to defend our national interests. We're here to defend those that cannot defend themselves. The training that we did coming up to this is over. From here on out, every day is a combat rehearsal.
