WEBVTT

00:03.529 --> 00:05.889
We had the 453rd Combat Logistics

00:05.889 --> 00:07.929
Battalion from the San Jose Marine

00:07.929 --> 00:09.890
Reserve Base . They were here to

00:09.890 --> 00:13.689
conduct land navigation and also combat

00:13.689 --> 00:16.440
arms training . The main focus was to

00:16.440 --> 00:18.920
have pace count to know our meters and

00:18.920 --> 00:20.920
distances so that way when we go to

00:20.920 --> 00:23.031
point A to point B , we know where to

00:23.031 --> 00:25.087
go and how far to go and that way we

00:25.087 --> 00:27.399
don't get lost during our movements and

00:27.399 --> 00:29.566
then on top of that they learned about

00:29.566 --> 00:31.677
using the protractor with the map and

00:31.677 --> 00:33.788
trying to plot points and navigate on

00:33.788 --> 00:35.677
which ways , what direction using

00:35.677 --> 00:37.843
compasses and such . The first portion

00:37.843 --> 00:39.843
of the hand to hand combat was just

00:39.843 --> 00:41.843
understanding the intent behind the

00:41.843 --> 00:43.843
combat , what their goals are , and

00:43.843 --> 00:45.621
then on top of that , uh , just

00:45.621 --> 00:47.899
understanding the Marine Corps concept .

00:47.899 --> 00:50.066
Once after that we had airmens go hand

00:50.066 --> 00:51.955
to hand one on one just on ground

00:51.955 --> 00:54.232
movement of course we had people there ,

00:54.232 --> 00:56.455
uh , the Marines to help facilitate the

00:56.455 --> 00:55.979
fights and then of course , uh , break .

00:56.165 --> 00:58.387
If , uh , things got a little serious ,

00:58.387 --> 01:00.276
he wanted to make sure that we're

01:00.276 --> 01:02.498
equipped with uh at least understanding

01:02.498 --> 01:04.721
the fundamentals of land navigation and

01:04.721 --> 01:06.943
being able to fight with with our hands

01:06.943 --> 01:09.109
because if we for instance we're stuck

01:09.109 --> 01:11.332
without any weapons or and we just have

01:11.332 --> 01:13.498
a compass and a map , then at least we

01:13.498 --> 01:15.721
know how to fend for ourselves and know

01:15.721 --> 01:15.555
how to use the map to kind of get to

01:15.555 --> 01:16.394
where we need to go .
