00:03.730 --> 00:07.619
The Murphy magta from Darwin can

00:07.619 --> 00:09.739
deploy forward into the first island

00:09.739 --> 00:12.619
chain and then when required can pivot .

00:13.689 --> 00:16.360
And simultaneously execute operations

00:16.770 --> 00:18.103
throughout the region .

00:22.909 --> 00:26.879
5 . We started the surge series and

00:26.879 --> 00:29.046
we got the task to execute urgent life

00:29.046 --> 00:31.399
saving support and uh foreign disaster

00:31.399 --> 00:34.439
relief . And that transition from doing

00:34.439 --> 00:36.950
crisis response with urgent life saving

00:37.439 --> 00:39.909
right into contingency response would

00:39.909 --> 00:42.040
demonstrate the speed at which this

00:42.040 --> 00:45.090
magcap can work . So during Exercise

00:45.090 --> 00:47.020
Alon , the ACE supported air op ,

00:47.169 --> 00:49.391
specifically military freefall with the

00:49.391 --> 00:51.113
Australian Defense Forces . We

00:51.113 --> 00:53.280
conducted a simulated airfield seizure

00:53.280 --> 00:54.891
with the armed forces of the

00:54.891 --> 00:56.725
Philippines . The most important

00:56.725 --> 01:00.049
achievement of Exelon . Hands down is

01:00.049 --> 01:02.580
the execution of operations with our

01:02.580 --> 01:05.319
key allies and partners . We are in a

01:05.319 --> 01:07.489
supporting role to the Australians and

01:07.489 --> 01:10.250
the Filipinos , and for the first time

01:10.250 --> 01:12.417
we had the Australian Amphibious Force

01:12.417 --> 01:15.349
forward working with the Filipinos on a

01:15.349 --> 01:17.699
combined joint forceful entry operation .

01:18.050 --> 01:19.994
That was the exercise that we were

01:19.994 --> 01:22.029
supporting and enabling . That that

01:22.029 --> 01:24.470
hands down continues to be the most

01:24.470 --> 01:26.750
important thing we do because as stand

01:26.750 --> 01:29.989
in forces we won't stand alone it means

01:29.989 --> 01:32.190
we stand together and the more we

01:32.190 --> 01:35.519
practice that . And and the more that

01:35.519 --> 01:38.540
we exercise it and we exercise it under

01:38.540 --> 01:41.080
the harshest conditions , that's what's

01:41.080 --> 01:43.120
gonna get us ready for when we're

01:43.120 --> 01:46.400
needed the most and that's what Exelon

01:46.400 --> 01:48.949
gave us the opportunity to demonstrate ,

01:49.080 --> 01:51.360
to validate , and really to showcase to

01:51.360 --> 01:53.959
the world what we can do when we're

01:53.959 --> 01:56.720
we're there together with our closest

01:56.720 --> 01:58.776
allies and partners in the Pacific .

02:02.930 --> 02:05.400
The transition from Exelon to super

02:05.400 --> 02:07.800
shield demonstrates a multitude of

02:07.800 --> 02:10.320
things , but most importantly , the

02:10.320 --> 02:12.639
operational reach of our stand in

02:12.639 --> 02:15.350
forces . So we didn't just leave the

02:15.350 --> 02:17.517
Philippines , we still had a formation

02:17.669 --> 02:19.613
within the Philippines and then we

02:19.613 --> 02:21.336
deployed another formation and

02:21.336 --> 02:24.270
reinforced it in Indonesia to execute

02:24.270 --> 02:28.149
Super British Shield . So

02:28.149 --> 02:30.910
the training being conducted was um a

02:30.910 --> 02:32.966
joint exercise that started off with

02:32.966 --> 02:35.021
small unit training , so that was us

02:35.021 --> 02:36.966
working with the partner nations ,

02:36.966 --> 02:39.188
doing some platoon level training . Our

02:39.188 --> 02:40.966
readiness and capabilities were

02:40.966 --> 02:43.021
improved by working with the partner

02:43.021 --> 02:44.688
force here , specifically the

02:44.688 --> 02:46.743
Indonesians . What they offer in the

02:46.743 --> 02:49.070
jungle realm was pretty invaluable ,

02:49.160 --> 02:51.327
and the joint training we were able to

02:51.327 --> 02:53.438
do with them adds another tool in our

02:53.438 --> 02:55.660
toolbox to operate in environments like

02:55.660 --> 02:57.839
this . The other key piece was the

02:57.839 --> 02:59.950
amphibious landing , so seeing how we

02:59.950 --> 03:02.460
can move partner forces ashore with

03:02.460 --> 03:04.738
partnerships , very interesting to see ,

03:04.740 --> 03:06.962
um , they all kind of come together and

03:06.962 --> 03:09.073
really demonstrates the capability we

03:09.073 --> 03:11.073
have , uh , when we work together .

03:11.649 --> 03:13.371
When you have an exercise that

03:13.371 --> 03:15.570
magnitude like Super Shield , you

03:15.570 --> 03:17.626
really get to see what that level of

03:17.626 --> 03:19.626
commitment is , and for the nations

03:19.626 --> 03:21.681
that are present , you can tell that

03:21.681 --> 03:23.681
you're here to train hard and train

03:23.681 --> 03:25.903
together . So in the next fight when we

03:25.903 --> 03:28.070
are all called upon to work together ,

03:28.070 --> 03:30.126
we're able to do that successfully .

03:37.520 --> 03:40.830
What we continue to achieve it's

03:40.830 --> 03:44.679
absolutely remarkable . We

03:44.679 --> 03:46.869
went from Darwin to the Philippines ,

03:47.000 --> 03:49.350
transitioned from crisis to contingency ,

03:49.399 --> 03:51.621
and then expanded operational reach out

03:51.621 --> 03:53.566
to Super British Shield . And then

03:53.566 --> 03:55.869
while that was all tying up , we then

03:55.869 --> 03:59.850
embarked GCE and Ace elements onto

03:59.850 --> 04:02.509
the USS Miguel Keith . Well , it's ,

04:02.759 --> 04:05.600
it's a historic first for the Murphy

04:05.600 --> 04:08.979
magta . And what it does is demonstrate

04:09.470 --> 04:12.470
the operational reach and depth that

04:12.470 --> 04:15.589
stand-in forces have through any means

04:15.589 --> 04:18.489
available . So

04:18.489 --> 04:21.569
positioning Ospreys aboard the Miguel

04:21.569 --> 04:24.489
Keith just showed our flexibility as a

04:24.489 --> 04:26.928
unit , showed uh that we can operate

04:26.928 --> 04:30.808
both ashore and afloat and contribute

04:30.808 --> 04:32.968
to ship to shore missions or shore to

04:32.968 --> 04:36.489
ship missions as well . The Miguel

04:36.489 --> 04:38.720
Keith as an expeditionary staging base

04:39.369 --> 04:43.190
provides exceptional capability that

04:43.190 --> 04:46.329
when combined with components of the

04:46.329 --> 04:50.029
magta truly sends a message to our

04:50.029 --> 04:52.570
adversaries that throughout the expanse

04:52.570 --> 04:55.329
of the Pacific there is no place that

04:55.329 --> 04:58.200
Marines cannot go and will not go .

05:00.769 --> 05:03.079
We're demonstrating something new .

05:03.250 --> 05:05.306
It's different , and our adversaries

05:05.306 --> 05:07.579
must take notice . We will use all

05:07.579 --> 05:09.746
aspects available to us from the joint

05:09.746 --> 05:12.290
and combined force to move marines

05:12.290 --> 05:14.234
throughout the full expanse of the

05:14.234 --> 05:16.290
Pacific to ensure that when the time

05:16.290 --> 05:18.519
comes , we are in position .
