 I would tell these women that they don't have to worry about being leading more like a man or leading in a certain way or trying to lose being a woman or losing their femininity. I would tell them to be their selves, be genuine, be authentic, and your soldiers respect you more for that. We have a leadership background and then we have a credibility. So a lot of people will respect you. I agree with that one. That's good. I am Second Lieutenant Rizky Buspitarahayu and you can call me Lieutenant Rizky. In here I joined the guerrilla shield, I joined exercise as a platoon commander and then I covered a lot of communication in my battalion. All of the U.S. Army is very well trained and well equipped. A lot of U.S. Army is more and more and it's so very very friendly and it is not expected. I'm First Lieutenant Monica Smith. I'm a platoon leader for Alpha Company 121 and here in Indonesia I'm training with my soldiers in the Indonesian military for Operation Gruda Shield 2021. We're developing partnerships with the Indonesian military and working to develop interoperability between the two. I had not had any exposure to female military Indonesian soldiers at all. I had only seen male soldiers and I was pleasantly surprised to me. Rizky, I wasn't sure what I was, what she was going to be like and I didn't want to put any boxes on her and let her introduce herself and be herself and she was wonderful to me. I, after I finished my basic training, I continue to train with you. It's a signal call because I'm a signal call. So I have five months, same with you, you're like, yes. And then I have a, I won. Human relationships are the crux of what we do every single day. In the infantry, in the army, that is our, that's our job as people. The army isn't, we're not just relegated to the United States. We go all over the world to work, to train, to build relations and so it's absolutely vital that we meet other soldiers and develop in person to person relationships as well as military to military ones. How can you manage yourself in your company as a female comrade? That's a good question. We just build, build respect between me and the people I work with. You know, I show them that I'm a competent leader and they give me the same respect that they give any other lieutenant or any other soldier in the military. Yes, I'm the only one in my unit. I've enjoyed it, but it is more challenging, I think. If you could visit the United States and go anywhere, where would you go? Yeah, for the first time I want to go to Hawaii. Why, yes, it's my favorite. I like beach. Yes. Yes, I like beach. I would want to go to Bali. Bali. Yes. Yeah, have you ever visited Bali before? Never. So after this, you can you get a leave. Can you take me? Yeah, I will take you and I will accompany you to Bali Island if you have a leave. With Friendship, we can work together, talk together and we can fight together. So we can build enduring partnership. One of the challenges that you have to overcome in Ranger School is getting people to work with you and work for you. When they are freezing cold, they're in the mud, it's raining and they don't want to move. They're starving and they're exhausted and you have to encourage them to work together as a team. As a plastic commander, I practice how I lead and this is a lot of men. Because in a lot of men, then I am an only woman and I lead my soldier and I must maintain his heart, I must maintain his failure and then I must maintain his condition. I was surprised that Riski was the only female in her unit. There are just so few women in the Indonesian military in general and that definitely surprised me but she has had such a positive experience in her life. This is her dream job and I thought that was absolutely wonderful. I'm very happy. I'm very happy to meet Monica Smith and I hope the next time, someday, I can go to the US and we can meet again and I hope that I can learn a lot of things about the US Army.
