00:03.180 --> 00:05.519
The shadow of conflict is lengthening

00:06.179 --> 00:08.970
alongside our steadfast allies . One

00:08.970 --> 00:11.026
meth is sharpening the spear for the

00:11.026 --> 00:12.026
fight to come .

00:14.739 --> 00:17.260
But advanced weaponry and combined arms

00:17.260 --> 00:19.129
maneuvers are not enough .

00:24.510 --> 00:26.732
The decisive advantage that will secure

00:26.732 --> 00:29.489
victory rests on a foundation of

00:29.489 --> 00:32.430
unwavering discipline . Having

00:32.430 --> 00:34.486
discipline within yourself , it just

00:34.486 --> 00:36.652
leads you to be a better marine and it

00:36.652 --> 00:38.319
leads you to do your job more

00:38.319 --> 00:40.208
effectively . If you see somebody

00:40.208 --> 00:42.486
living with a high level of discipline ,

00:42.486 --> 00:42.389
it encourage you to live with

00:42.389 --> 00:44.611
discipline as well . It just drives you

00:44.611 --> 00:46.667
to be operating at that high level .

00:48.900 --> 00:51.459
Discipline is the meticulous attention

00:51.459 --> 00:54.209
to detail that transforms a good marine

00:54.209 --> 00:56.950
into a lethal warrior . It is the

00:56.950 --> 00:59.310
unwavering adherence to standards that

00:59.310 --> 01:01.750
makes us unbreakable , a force our

01:01.750 --> 01:04.620
allies trust and our enemies fear .

01:07.199 --> 01:09.366
If we don't understand what discipline

01:09.366 --> 01:11.809
is , how are we gonna be able to trust

01:11.809 --> 01:13.865
our brothers and sisters on the left

01:13.865 --> 01:15.753
and right of us ? We're holding a

01:15.753 --> 01:17.920
standard and as NCOs , you are setting

01:17.920 --> 01:20.087
the standard for these Marines because

01:20.087 --> 01:19.970
they are gonna be filling your shoes .

01:22.110 --> 01:25.069
It is our bearing . The respect in our

01:25.069 --> 01:27.790
formations , the dedication to physical

01:27.790 --> 01:29.550
and mental readiness , and the

01:29.550 --> 01:32.099
uncompromising integrity of our conduct

01:32.349 --> 01:35.269
on duty and off , these are not

01:35.269 --> 01:39.120
optional . They are essential . We

01:39.120 --> 01:41.064
have those high standards we don't

01:41.064 --> 01:43.120
strive for less we're putting in the

01:43.120 --> 01:45.120
hours every night to make sure that

01:45.120 --> 01:47.120
we're better each and every day and

01:47.120 --> 01:49.120
better than our adversaries that we

01:49.120 --> 01:49.050
could potentially be going against .

01:53.279 --> 01:55.879
Operation Ironclad will sharpen our

01:55.879 --> 01:58.300
readiness , strengthen our cohesion ,

01:58.559 --> 02:00.670
and prepare us to answer our nation's

02:00.670 --> 02:03.819
call with unwavering confidence . We

02:03.819 --> 02:05.779
will hold ourselves and each other

02:05.779 --> 02:08.550
accountable . We will demand excellence .

02:08.860 --> 02:12.020
We will prepare to fight now and win .
