 Two at a time. Hey make sure you have three points of contact when you get up top That never reflects on me. I'm going to grab this one up. Sergeant Alejandro Bustamante, ATG-3, Fibos Assault Vehicle Crewman, 2nd Assault Fibon Battalion. The training conducted today was egress drills from the AAV as well as the towing drills from one AAV to another AAV, resembling a disabled AAV in the water. The purpose of the training today was to get the Marines comfortable with egress drills as far as how to help the personnel in the back of the vehicle getting out of the vehicle in a safe and calm manner, as well as the throwing of ropes for a disabled vehicle to conduct towing operations in the water. Some of the experiences for the Marines were for them to get familiarized with how to egress the vehicle as well as assist the embarked personnel in a safe and calm manner to the top of the vehicle to conduct recovery operations as well as the towing of vehicles in case a vehicle is disabled and taken to the next safe haven. The Marines today did meet those expectations and they showed that they are more than capable of conducting amphibious operations. This training benefits the Marines. It gives them one step before going into the water. It's a crawl-walk-run method. They like to do it on land first and obviously in a calmer sea state before actually getting into the ocean. So today, they did it in a controlled environment as far as throwing the ropes and then recovering the vehicle as well as the egress process of getting out of the vehicle. Training like this promotes safety and readiness by getting the crews of the vehicles ready should they need to one day egress the crews out of the vehicles as well as the conducting of towing the vehicle to the next safe haven. Egress is the common collective manner of exiting the vehicle when the vehicle is slow sinking. Training like this is conducted every six months. The way we do it is we will conduct this training once a week and we'll get the Marines freshened up should we need to get into the water. For example, a ship operating amphibious operation is coming up so that when we do get into the water they're already familiarized with it once again. So some of the emotions that the Marines face in general inside of the AAV because the AAV is a confined space in water which is an unnatural thing to do. Sometimes they will get claustrophobic and they do get a little I'd say sketched out on the vehicle itself. And then in an egress situation they get scared once they have to go up top on the top of the vehicle should they need to get in the water be recorded by another vehicle as well as if it's just a regular troop to troop transfer. So Marines do tend to get scared because as mentioned before the vehicle is unique in its own. It carries 21 combat loaded troops and it's the only vehicle in the entire Department of Defense that can carry an entire company of infantrymen from ship to shore and follow on objectives. So the way this training helps them is they get a repetition pretty much like almost everything else that we do. We do the crawl walk one method they'll crawl on land they'll throw ropes on land they'll egress on land so that should they need to when it comes to the water they are more than capable of doing the mission. The way it increases war fighting capabilities it allows us to do our jobs and move the infantry as our doctrine requires us to which is from ship to shore and follow on objectives. And it gets us ready to go in any climate any place because this is the only vehicle that can crawl through almost any terrain without any hiccups and it's capable of doing the mission.
