 Today we conducted some live fire shoots in the house here in Rotas, Spain working with Fastcom New Europe and some explosive ordnance disposal technicians who are attached with special-purpose marine air ground task force crisis response Africa We had them attached with our squads within the platoon and made some runs through the house for considerations for both units to work together proficiently so the main reason behind this training and the importance of it is You know so when we do have a mission and for our capabilities we can train to a standard and Sustain and so whenever we do have something that we have to act on We're not going into something and trying to consider things on the fly We are already proficient and everybody is on the same page training with outside units get you on the same page as far as standard operating procedures and Just considerations for other units because how we would operate in certain environments with those You know improvised explosive devices and potential You know threats inside it's good to train with us So we're all moving in the same direction and we're all you know working together any environment like this with a lot fire shoot house When it is a close-quarters environment and live rounds from the M4 and the non-millimeter You know you always want to maintain that security so ensuring that we are doing things properly and safely for me personally Like I did get a lot out of this training It provides different aspects of how I would work with explosive ordnance disposal attachments in a battle with battle space like Afghanistan verse crisis response now So it helps me in the squad leaders and the small unit leaders to understand the different types of missions that the Explosive ordnance disposal teams can assist us in
