1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,240
that human , 

2
00:00:04,740 --> 00:00:05,740
Yeah , 

3
00:00:08,140 --> 00:00:11,040
during Iraq Afghanistan , that's huge 

4
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:13,820
shortfall with manpower . Uh , which 

5
00:00:13,830 --> 00:00:16,660
the Marine Corps realized . So they 

6
00:00:16,670 --> 00:00:18,726
come up with this enlisted side of a 

7
00:00:18,726 --> 00:00:20,892
failed program , which is Foreign area 

8
00:00:20,892 --> 00:00:23,114
staff noncommissioned officer program . 

9
00:00:23,114 --> 00:00:25,770
Um , so this is to leverage their 

10
00:00:25,780 --> 00:00:28,980
enlisted community within the cultural 

11
00:00:28,980 --> 00:00:31,690
dynamic and under language capabilities 

12
00:00:31,700 --> 00:00:34,080
within the G five regional engagement 

13
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,430
section . What we do we follow the 

14
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,662
theater security cooperation approach . 

15
00:00:38,662 --> 00:00:40,884
Uh , there's a pyramid that if you , if 

16
00:00:40,884 --> 00:00:43,051
you will at the base of the pyramid is 

17
00:00:43,051 --> 00:00:45,170
access , relationship building , 

18
00:00:45,180 --> 00:00:47,270
capacity building and in develop 

19
00:00:47,270 --> 00:00:49,260
ability . That's how regional 

20
00:00:49,260 --> 00:00:51,400
engagement can assist within the map 

21
00:00:51,410 --> 00:00:53,830
helped put in the fight because we can 

22
00:00:53,830 --> 00:00:57,360
go in alone . Um , and if you enhance 

23
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,810
your partner , which what we do is 

24
00:00:59,820 --> 00:01:01,820
enhance our partner , they can take 

25
00:01:01,820 --> 00:01:03,876
care of that piece of the pie . That 

26
00:01:03,876 --> 00:01:05,876
means less for us to worry . We can 

27
00:01:05,876 --> 00:01:08,350
focus on other domain . Mm 

28
00:01:11,340 --> 00:01:14,650
I have nothing but respect for our 

29
00:01:14,660 --> 00:01:16,771
allies and partners out here in Japan 

30
00:01:16,771 --> 00:01:18,827
because I'm one of only a handful of 

31
00:01:18,827 --> 00:01:21,260
individuals who speak Japanese here in 

32
00:01:21,260 --> 00:01:23,520
the Meth , I do get called quite often 

33
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,742
to have those sort of interactions . We 

34
00:01:25,742 --> 00:01:27,909
are working on a project right now for 

35
00:01:27,909 --> 00:01:30,260
the three mfc that talks about um not 

36
00:01:30,260 --> 00:01:33,220
just language capabilities or foreign 

37
00:01:33,230 --> 00:01:35,397
area officers , it talks about what do 

38
00:01:35,397 --> 00:01:38,000
we need to achieve the common , it's 

39
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,167
planning , guidance and focus out here 

40
00:01:40,167 --> 00:01:43,640
in the pacific Sure , yeah , yeah ,
