 You good, Rezzy? Huh? You good? I'm sorry, bro, but fuck this, we're clear. Good, let's push this board. 6-3-3, last 40-mic, Mike. Okay, let's start doing a lace report. So, can you tell me your full name first and what your job title is? Sergeant Lewis. I'm a team leader for Able Company, 3-5-0-9th. And what's your first name, Christopher? Christopher. What are you guys out here doing today? We're out here conducting squad live fires. For my team, it was going very well. We're actually able to use all the skill level one tasks and the training that we do back at Garrison, and now we're able to collaborate together, bring it together, and integrate it into the squad. Skill one task that we've been training on, everything from individual movement techniques to proper reloads, engaging the target clearly and accurately, and then just combining that all as a team to make the team has a whole more lethal. We have definitely improved synchronizing our assets as a team, being able to pick up the rates of fire. For example, when my 320 gunner is transitioning back to his M4, picking up the rate of fire so there's no lulls, definitely being able to bound in succession without losing, without moving without fire and not firing without maneuver, things of that nature. We just have to look around the world. We see the things that are going on and on the other side of the world, a little north of that. And at any time we could be sent to do that. So if we can't do the job properly here, then we're not going to be as lethal as we need to be over there. Proud of my team, proud of my company, proud of my battalion, proud of the things that my guys have done out here and how much they've progressed, how much they've improved. And I'm excited to see what they can do in the next training operation. What's your full name and job title? I'm sorry, first class Jeremy Purdue. My job title is first sergeant of Able Company 359. All right, and what were you guys doing out here today? So today we are doing our Blake iteration for squad live fire. And we are doing that to work in the progression and to instill confidence in our lower level soldiers, our team leaders and our squad leaders so they can effectively communicate with their PLs and paint a picture for them so they can in return paint a picture for the company commander. We're fighting as a platoon company. And what does this prepare you for? This is going to prepare us for the future training at the platoon and company level and battalion level as well as any type of real life scenarios throughout the Pacific area that we may have to encounter. So let's prepare you guys for JPMRC. Correct. So this is going to prepare us for JPMRC and build confidence in our squads to further on work up to platoon next month. And why is it important to do live fires? So it's important to do live fires so that you can get the real life training so that you're getting the real fill of the live rounds going down range and that you are shooting, maneuvering and communicating properly so that we don't have any real life injuries and instill the confidence in the lower level soldiers as well as the team leaders and squad leaders all the way out. Are you taking actions to mitigate the risk from live rounds? So to mitigate the risk from live rounds we're training we do maintain a 40 degrees offset and that is the reason we're doing our we did our leader walk through and we are now doing blank iteration day and night to prepare them and to certify them in the lane so that they can do the live rounds. From experience shooting live rounds is completely different and we're we are all extra men so we need to be able to shoot live rounds down the range and we need to be ready to engage in the enemy at any time considering that we could go anywhere in the end of pay-com area at any given time to engage with the enemy in real life and you can't really simulate that real fill with simulation rounds or blank rounds. I think the progression is good I think that it instills confidence to the lower level and squad level before we continue to progress up to Platoon Company and in an avidly battalion with JPMRC and being able to work through some differences and build better continuity for future operations. Have you seen them big improvement in a lot of the units going through today, squads? Yes, so going through today we have a lot of newer paratroopers and throughout the progression they have continued to gain their continuity and get better and work together as a team better than being able to do things like communicate with their rifles versus actually yelling bounds and things of that nature instead they're now progressing to a level that they can move without actually communicating by voice. Shooting live rounds builds that squad up and then it gives them the confidence to further on and then continue to gain their confidence to work at a higher level.
