Victor one two's 10 day exercise at the

00:05.011 --> 00:07.059
back end of our 22 day cold weather

00:07.070 --> 00:10.180
training package was oriented on taking

00:10.189 --> 00:12.411
these marines into a prolonged training

00:12.411 --> 00:14.245
environment in the cold and then

00:14.245 --> 00:16.411
breaking that down into three phases .

00:16.411 --> 00:18.467
The first phase being basic skills ,

00:18.467 --> 00:20.510
everything from avalanche rescue to

00:20.520 --> 00:22.889
fighting positions , then going from

00:22.899 --> 00:25.010
there into a mission phase where they

00:25.010 --> 00:26.899
are taking those skills that they

00:26.899 --> 00:28.899
learned , they can then employ that

00:28.899 --> 00:31.121
into a tactical environment . The first

00:31.121 --> 00:33.399
phase is focused on aspect of survival .

00:33.399 --> 00:35.566
It's phase two , the mission phase has

00:35.566 --> 00:37.788
the intent of taking these marines into

00:37.788 --> 00:40.010
a position of hunting . The third phase

00:40.010 --> 00:42.066
wraps all that together into our ski

00:42.066 --> 00:44.121
march where they're taking all these

00:44.121 --> 00:45.899
skills from basic survival to a

00:45.899 --> 00:48.066
tactical standpoint and maneuvering on

00:48.066 --> 00:50.177
an objective , getting to a range and

00:50.177 --> 00:52.066
showing that they've been able to

00:52.066 --> 00:51.875
sustain not just themselves and their

00:51.884 --> 00:53.345
gear , but their weapons as well .
