00:11.750 --> 00:14.600
This iteration of Fuji Viper is unique

00:14.609 --> 00:16.909
in the sense that it's the first time

00:16.920 --> 00:19.319
in recent history that the AC M has

00:19.329 --> 00:22.260
committed to an exercise or rehearsal

00:22.270 --> 00:25.270
as an entire unit . The AC is the alert

00:25.280 --> 00:27.850
contingency mag taf for third meth

00:28.770 --> 00:31.389
and it's composed of our rifle company

00:31.399 --> 00:33.069
with India company 35 ,

00:37.209 --> 00:39.459
Fuji Viper consisted of individual and

00:39.470 --> 00:42.799
team skills , both dry and live fire ,

00:43.369 --> 00:45.409
things like land , navigation

00:45.709 --> 00:48.279
infiltration lanes and working up to

00:48.790 --> 00:52.139
fast roping 81 millimeter mortar

00:52.150 --> 00:55.599
range , heavy machine gun range ,

00:56.779 --> 00:59.540
as well as anti armor team . Ambush

00:59.549 --> 01:03.159
range . Viper provides

01:03.169 --> 01:05.949
realistic training to the forces that

01:05.959 --> 01:08.709
deploy here . One through the nature of

01:08.720 --> 01:10.887
the train itself , the weather and the

01:10.887 --> 01:13.109
impacts that that weather brings to the

01:13.109 --> 01:15.109
training and the type of rehearsals

01:15.109 --> 01:17.053
that units conduct here . And then

01:17.053 --> 01:19.276
ultimately , when you remove units from

01:19.276 --> 01:21.410
their home base and away from their

01:21.419 --> 01:23.475
supporting establishment , they have

01:23.475 --> 01:25.475
unique challenges that they have to

01:25.475 --> 01:27.141
face and work through and are

01:27.141 --> 01:29.197
ultimately better for having met the

01:29.197 --> 01:31.363
demands of those challenges and worked

01:31.363 --> 01:33.650
around them . Some of the challenges we

01:33.660 --> 01:36.870
had as a squad and specifically my team

01:36.879 --> 01:39.239
were one operating by ourselves .

01:39.250 --> 01:41.361
Especially when we did the anti armor

01:41.361 --> 01:44.160
range . It was just me with my team and

01:44.169 --> 01:46.002
then an additional two guys that

01:46.002 --> 01:48.225
weren't part of my team . I had to come

01:48.225 --> 01:50.280
up with a plan that utilized all our

01:50.280 --> 01:52.391
assets and still got our mission done

01:52.391 --> 01:54.613
without heavy casualties and then being

01:54.613 --> 01:56.836
able to pull out of that successfully .

01:56.836 --> 01:58.839
Think this is a good example of how

01:58.849 --> 02:01.016
we're asked and will be asked to fight

02:01.339 --> 02:03.395
and has proven extremely valuable to

02:03.395 --> 02:05.010
the company in our training . Yes .
