WEBVTT

00:00.009 --> 00:03.039
Currently there are two Baltic nations

00:03.039 --> 00:05.440
that are purchasing Hamars right now ,

00:05.539 --> 00:08.520
so Estonia , we have a platoon that's

00:08.520 --> 00:11.359
forward deployed called Task Force VoI

00:11.359 --> 00:13.192
that's forward deployed with the

00:13.192 --> 00:15.248
Estonians , and they're assisting in

00:15.248 --> 00:17.415
training the Estonians as they receive

00:17.415 --> 00:19.581
that equipment later this summer . And

00:19.581 --> 00:21.748
then our battalion here is training in

00:21.748 --> 00:23.970
partnership with Lithuania , who is the

00:23.970 --> 00:26.303
next Baltic nation to receive high mars ,

00:26.303 --> 00:28.415
and so we're training to help prepare

00:28.415 --> 00:28.389
them as they receive their launchers in

00:28.389 --> 00:30.556
2027 . Uh , the overall mission of the

00:30.556 --> 00:32.810
class , uh , today is to teach uh op

00:32.810 --> 00:34.754
area safety . Uh , get back to the

00:34.754 --> 00:36.977
basics and really learn to actually how

00:36.977 --> 00:39.032
to do it properly and to standard in

00:39.032 --> 00:41.088
order to execute live fire emissions

00:41.088 --> 00:43.143
during training today , uh , they're

00:43.143 --> 00:45.199
going over , uh , how to compute and

00:45.199 --> 00:47.419
construct rocket SDZs , uh , how to

00:47.419 --> 00:49.586
properly input that information into a

00:49.586 --> 00:51.697
safety data calculator to construct a

00:51.697 --> 00:53.586
safety team and ensure that we're

00:53.586 --> 00:55.808
putting rounds , uh , down range safely

00:55.808 --> 00:57.975
and accurately . The 13 Juliet side of

00:57.975 --> 01:00.086
it is the fire control side . Uh , we

01:00.086 --> 01:02.252
talked with the Ford observers or fire

01:02.252 --> 01:04.419
control , uh , element up in brigade .

01:04.419 --> 01:06.419
Um , that received the mission they

01:06.419 --> 01:08.641
push it down to our echelon and then we

01:08.641 --> 01:10.919
compute the data put rounds down range .

01:10.919 --> 01:13.030
It definitely builds interoperability

01:13.030 --> 01:15.197
because if you , if you , us as a , as

01:15.197 --> 01:17.308
a nation , um , we , we can't operate

01:17.308 --> 01:19.030
in a , a large scale operation

01:19.030 --> 01:21.141
environment if we don't have our NATO

01:21.141 --> 01:23.308
allies and understand how we operate ,

01:23.308 --> 01:25.363
how they operate and how everybody's

01:25.363 --> 01:27.475
just entwined together and we play an

01:27.475 --> 01:29.697
important role . So for the Lithuanians

01:29.697 --> 01:31.808
this is uh this is basically a course

01:31.808 --> 01:33.697
for them to obtain more knowledge

01:33.720 --> 01:35.831
because in the coming years they will

01:35.831 --> 01:37.998
be receiving this artillery piece . So

01:37.998 --> 01:39.942
the overall objective of the class

01:39.942 --> 01:42.053
being instructed today is to increase

01:42.053 --> 01:44.164
knowledge and proficiency amongst all

01:44.164 --> 01:47.870
13 mics and as a whole . So for uh

01:47.870 --> 01:50.559
our guys this 13 mic university this

01:50.559 --> 01:52.726
basically gives them more knowledge on

01:52.726 --> 01:55.559
the system to help promote growth

01:55.559 --> 01:57.879
amongst the 13 mic population . So the

01:57.879 --> 02:00.046
information being taught being learned

02:00.046 --> 02:02.110
is basically crew drills , uh ,

02:02.120 --> 02:04.349
knowledge on artillery and how we

02:04.349 --> 02:07.120
operate . It shows them that that we

02:07.120 --> 02:09.231
work well together and we are willing

02:09.231 --> 02:11.600
to sit down and learn and pass along

02:11.600 --> 02:12.960
knowledge in which we have picked up .
