1
00:00:27,333 --> 00:00:31,406
7:30 in the morning,
and today is the day

2
00:00:31,542 --> 00:00:36,411
that I have been
kind of dreading since April,

3
00:00:36,542 --> 00:00:41,206
put, um, my flance Sam
enlisted into the marine corps,

4
00:00:41,333 --> 00:00:43,415
and he leaves
for boot camp today.

5
00:00:43,542 --> 00:00:45,203
Um

6
00:00:45,333 --> 00:00:47,699
You, too, honey. You take care

7
00:00:47,833 --> 00:00:49,118
thank you.

8
00:00:49,250 --> 00:00:51,741
- Grandpa.
- Take care, big guy.

9
00:00:51,875 --> 00:00:52,875
(Good morning.

10
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,865
Sam: Aw, you.

11
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,116
J

12
00:00:57,250 --> 00:01:00,117
Gene hackman:
These young men and women

13
00:01:00,250 --> 00:01:02,332
are going on a long journey.

14
00:01:02,458 --> 00:01:04,039
I love you so much.

15
00:01:04,167 --> 00:01:06,624
- Mm.
- We all love you.

16
00:01:06,750 --> 00:01:07,910
I'll miss youl.

17
00:01:08,042 --> 00:01:10,078
Hackman:
One that goes around the globe

18
00:01:10,208 --> 00:01:14,406
and back to the foundations
of our nation

19
00:01:19,417 --> 00:01:21,282
Boy: Bye, daddy.

20
00:01:21,417 --> 00:01:23,282
Man: Bye, honey! Love you!

21
00:01:25,083 --> 00:01:28,575
Man: Go, go, go, go, go, go!

22
00:01:28,708 --> 00:01:30,664
J

23
00:01:34,542 --> 00:01:36,749
Vlove, move, move!

24
00:01:48,333 --> 00:01:50,574
J

25
00:02:02,208 --> 00:02:04,950
ID all we've ever nheedeq j

26
00:02:05,083 --> 00:02:08,780
j is a montage j

27
00:02:08,917 --> 00:02:10,202
hands up!

28
00:02:11,458 --> 00:02:12,698
Pwhoo j

29
00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:15,911
pvwhoo j

30
00:02:16,042 --> 00:02:18,249
get those knees up!
Keep them up!

31
00:02:26,542 --> 00:02:28,624
Hackman: People say
that the marine corps

32
00:02:28,750 --> 00:02:31,913
ss different from all other
military organizations

33
00:02:32,042 --> 00:02:35,034
anywhere in the world.

34
00:02:43,167 --> 00:02:46,785
I'm gene hackman,
and I was a marine.

35
00:02:49,208 --> 00:02:51,665
Once you're in the corps,

36
00:02:51,792 --> 00:02:55,330
you're in the corps
all your days on earth.

37
00:02:57,417 --> 00:02:59,578
Why is that”?

38
00:02:59,708 --> 00:03:02,290
The answer starts when
the marine corps was founded,

39
00:03:02,417 --> 00:03:04,282
nnn1/7/5

40
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,082
the continental Navy
needed sharpshooters

41
00:03:08,208 --> 00:03:11,871
to give their frigates an edge
over the superior english Navy.

42
00:03:17,833 --> 00:03:21,075
Marines picked oft
dozens of the enemy seamen,

43
00:03:21,208 --> 00:03:24,166
in our nation's
first battles at sea

44
00:03:26,792 --> 00:03:29,329
without these first marines,

45
00:03:29,458 --> 00:03:32,370
our nation might not
have been born.

46
00:03:34,833 --> 00:03:38,621
Today, the men and women of
the United States marine corps

47
00:03:38,750 --> 00:03:42,914
are reaqy to go anywhere
on a moment's notice,

48
00:03:43,042 --> 00:03:45,203
to fight if need be,

49
00:03:45,333 --> 00:03:48,780
Ana to help
where help is needed.

50
00:03:48,917 --> 00:03:51,499
Mian: All right, marines!

51
00:03:51,625 --> 00:03:55,197
Hackman: Marines are
fiercely loyal to each other,

52
00:03:55,333 --> 00:03:59,281
always moving, thinking
and feeling as one.

53
00:04:03,167 --> 00:04:06,125
That's what our motto,
"semper fidelis,"

54
00:04:06,250 --> 00:04:08,866
"always faithful,” really means.

55
00:04:14,375 --> 00:04:16,331
J

56
00:04:27,042 --> 00:04:31,285
But committing to the corps
is not for the faint of heart

57
00:04:34,583 --> 00:04:36,995
at parris island
or in San Diego,

58
00:04:45,917 --> 00:04:48,033
Instructor: Get off my bus!

59
00:04:48,167 --> 00:04:50,283
Now! Now, how, now!

60
00:04:50,417 --> 00:04:52,533
I said get off my bus!

61
00:04:52,667 --> 00:04:54,157
Move 1t! Move it!

62
00:04:54,292 --> 00:04:56,533
Eyes on footprints!
Eves on footprints!

63
00:04:56,667 --> 00:04:58,828
Hackman: Some come from
families with long traditions

64
00:04:58,958 --> 00:05:02,280
- of serving their country.
- Recruits: Aye, sir!

65
00:05:02,417 --> 00:05:04,157
Hackman:
Others come from tough places,

66
00:05:04,292 --> 00:05:06,123
where it's hard to find work

67
00:05:08,083 --> 00:05:12,747
but they all arrive looking
for direction to their lives.

68
00:05:12,875 --> 00:05:15,207
10 better themselves.

69
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,822
It all starts when you step
onto the footprints

70
00:05:21,958 --> 00:05:24,449
where generations
of marines have stood

71
00:05:27,875 --> 00:05:30,947
woman: Some of us
are right out of high school.

72
00:05:31,083 --> 00:05:33,415
Some have never
been away from home.

73
00:05:33,542 --> 00:05:36,375
Just coming here takes courage.

74
00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:38,707
Barber: You got to
put your feet on the floor.

75
00:05:38,833 --> 00:05:40,433
Recruit: Aye, sir!

76
00:05:40,542 --> 00:05:42,703
Barber:
You got moles to report, too,

77
00:05:42,833 --> 00:05:44,243
let me know where they at.

78
00:05:44,375 --> 00:05:45,956
Barber 2: I et's go, sir.

79
00:05:46,083 --> 00:05:48,870
Feet on there. Get your
feet on, get it on there.

80
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,581
Recruit 2: Yes, sir.

81
00:06:05,250 --> 00:06:07,115
Move faster!

82
00:06:12,583 --> 00:06:14,539
Now, boy!

83
00:06:16,792 --> 00:06:19,249
Hackman: Then the recruits
begin their training,

84
00:06:19,375 --> 00:06:21,081
py meeting the person
who will scare

85
00:06:21,208 --> 00:06:23,540
the living civilian out of them,

86
00:06:23,667 --> 00:06:25,328
their aril instructor

87
00:06:25,458 --> 00:06:27,574
recruits: Yes, sir!

88
00:06:27,708 --> 00:06:29,994
- Now stand right here!
- All right, sir.

89
00:06:30,125 --> 00:06:31,956
- "Aye, aye, sir!”
- Aye, aye, sir.

90
00:06:33,125 --> 00:06:34,990
Help her!

91
00:06:35,125 --> 00:06:37,707
- Run! Run! Run! Run! Run!
- Yes, sir.

92
00:06:43,917 --> 00:06:45,782
Aye, sir!

93
00:06:45,917 --> 00:06:48,579
Man: And he's tough,

94
00:06:48,708 --> 00:06:51,199
put I can tell you,
he's instilling

95
00:06:51,333 --> 00:06:54,075
not only physical toughness
but mental toughness.

96
00:07:00,625 --> 00:07:03,822
Hackman: Believe me,
it ain't no walk in the park.

97
00:07:05,958 --> 00:07:07,823
Instructor: Go! Go!

98
00:07:14,083 --> 00:07:15,684
Woman: You learn never to leave

99
00:07:15,708 --> 00:07:17,664
- any team member behind...
- You got him! Pull!

100
00:07:17,792 --> 00:07:20,750
Under any circumstance.

101
00:07:20,875 --> 00:07:22,661
Push! Come on!

102
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,360
Hackman:
At boot camp, we determine

103
00:07:25,458 --> 00:07:27,619
what young men Ana women
are made of,

104
00:07:27,750 --> 00:07:29,866
whether they can
adapt and overcome.

105
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,286
Instructor: Don't look down.
Don't look down

106
00:07:32,417 --> 00:07:33,873
hackman:
If they have what it takes

107
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,742
to earn the title marine

108
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,616
we learned lessons
from past wars,

109
00:07:41,750 --> 00:07:44,617
ike world war I,

110
00:07:44,750 --> 00:07:46,786
where at belleau wood,
in France,

111
00:07:46,917 --> 00:07:48,623
our army and marine corps

112
00:07:48,750 --> 00:07:50,991
faced new weapons:

113
00:07:51,125 --> 00:07:53,366
Machine guns,

114
00:07:53,500 --> 00:07:58,164
aerial bombardment
and chemical warfare

115
00:07:58,292 --> 00:08:00,874
chemical weapons
are still a threat,

116
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,197
so we train for them today.

117
00:08:17,042 --> 00:08:19,499
Recruits are told
to unseal their mask

118
00:08:19,625 --> 00:08:21,616
so they can learn
how to clear out the gas.

119
00:08:21,750 --> 00:08:23,786
I can't breathe!

120
00:08:23,917 --> 00:08:25,953
Hackman: It's nasty.

121
00:08:28,625 --> 00:08:30,081
I can't

122
00:08:40,417 --> 00:08:44,660
Hackman: Over the 12 weeks
of boot camp training,

123
00:08:44,792 --> 00:08:48,740
our goal is to become an
integral component of our team.

124
00:08:59,292 --> 00:09:01,908
We start out pretty raggea.

125
00:09:02,042 --> 00:09:04,875
Oh, yeah.

126
00:09:08,333 --> 00:09:10,289
J

127
00:09:18,833 --> 00:09:20,434
Woman:
But just a few weeks later,

128
00:09:20,458 --> 00:09:21,851
we've ironed out
most of the wrinkles

129
00:09:21,875 --> 00:09:22,875
recruits: Yes, sir!

130
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,956
J

131
00:09:38,792 --> 00:09:40,953
Hackman:
To be true to our heritage,

132
00:09:41,083 --> 00:09:43,574
all marines train for combat

133
00:09:43,708 --> 00:09:46,074
every marine is a rifleman.

134
00:09:50,125 --> 00:09:52,537
All marines learn to shoot
with precision

135
00:09:52,667 --> 00:09:55,124
at long distance.

136
00:09:56,667 --> 00:09:58,203
Woman: Yes. Ma'am.

137
00:10:00,083 --> 00:10:01,368
Yes, ma am!

138
00:10:01,500 --> 00:10:02,990
Yes., ma'am.

139
00:10:04,708 --> 00:10:07,700
Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am.

140
00:10:07,833 --> 00:10:11,030
Hackman: If boot camp is
a series of character tests,

141
00:10:11,167 --> 00:10:14,614
you could say
they saved the best for last.

142
00:10:14,750 --> 00:10:16,286
Recruits: Yes, sir.

143
00:10:16,417 --> 00:10:18,282
Hackman:
Few things are as memorable

144
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:20,999
in a marine's
boot camp experience

145
00:10:21,125 --> 00:10:24,288
as the rite of passage
called the crucible

146
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,865
it's 94 hours,

147
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,912
48 miles of marching,
45 pounds of gear,

148
00:10:32,042 --> 00:10:36,456
anda 29 intense
team-building exercises,

149
00:10:36,583 --> 00:10:39,746
all with only six hours of sleep

150
00:10:39,875 --> 00:10:42,491
- and two meal rations to go on.
- Instructor: I told you to go!

151
00:10:42,625 --> 00:10:44,035
Get through the obstacle!

152
00:10:44,167 --> 00:10:45,851
Man: On day one of the crucible,

153
00:10:45,875 --> 00:10:49,038
I kept telling myself,
"I've got to finish this."

154
00:10:49,167 --> 00:10:51,749
Instructor:
What are you doing, soldier?!

155
00:10:51,875 --> 00:10:53,866
Man: And during those
grueling 54 hours,

156
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,241
I learned one thing above all:

157
00:10:56,375 --> 00:10:59,697
We can ao this... together.

158
00:11:02,833 --> 00:11:04,789
Jj

159
00:11:08,750 --> 00:11:11,708
And when we do

160
00:11:11,833 --> 00:11:15,246
it'll be the hardest thing that
we have ever done in our lives.

161
00:11:15,375 --> 00:11:16,895
Instructor:
I et's go! Help each other!

162
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,581
Work as a team!

163
00:11:18,708 --> 00:11:23,202
Hackman: We learn to lead
and to count on each other

164
00:11:27,417 --> 00:11:29,829
the crucible
emphasizes our motto:

165
00:11:29,958 --> 00:11:33,246
Semper fidelis, always faithful.

166
00:11:33,375 --> 00:11:36,037
We can't make it alone.

167
00:11:36,167 --> 00:11:38,533
We need each other

168
00:11:38,667 --> 00:11:40,749

and we are all going
to finish it together.

177

190
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,706
hackman:
You've earned the marine corps

191
00:12:44,833 --> 00:12:46,869
eagle, globe, and anchor,

192
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,991
and a handshake
of congratulations.

193
00:12:49,125 --> 00:12:50,456
Instructor: Job well done

194
00:12:50,583 --> 00:12:53,120
hackman: At that very moment,

195
00:12:53,250 --> 00:12:54,740
you become a marine.

196
00:12:57,333 --> 00:12:59,699
It's a moment
you'll never forget.

197
00:13:03,375 --> 00:13:06,082
Man: When you go
on that final motivational run

198
00:13:06,208 --> 00:13:09,075
with your battalion, you realize

199
00:13:09,208 --> 00:13:11,824
youre part of something bigger.

js ah, an. J

215
00:14:02,250 --> 00:14:04,741
hackman:
At the same time at Quantico.

216
00:14:04,875 --> 00:14:07,036
The fitness
of officer candidates

217
00:14:07,167 --> 00:14:11,866
to lead Ana inspire marines
is tested in every way.

218
00:14:30,125 --> 00:14:33,617
Hackman: So if you think
officers have it easy,

219
00:14:33,750 --> 00:14:35,661
think again.

220
00:14:37,417 --> 00:14:39,078
The quigley exercises.

221
00:14:39,208 --> 00:14:40,448
Oh

222
00:14:40,583 --> 00:14:44,155
Its name alone
makes officers squirm.

223
00:14:44,292 --> 00:14:48,285
It's snakes in the summer,
ice in the winter

224
00:14:48,417 --> 00:14:50,337
man:
Putting us through that culvert

225
00:14:50,417 --> 00:14:54,831
with a d.L. Yelling at us
in a confined, muddy trench,

226
00:14:54,958 --> 00:14:57,870
I don't think that that's
anything that any of us

227
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,956
will ever forget.

228
00:15:02,792 --> 00:15:06,410
Hackman: The officers are ready.

229
00:15:06,542 --> 00:15:09,500
Now it's time
to really go to work.

230
00:15:11,792 --> 00:15:14,864
All across the world,
marine corps operational units

231
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,707
prepare for deployment
to anyplace on earth.

232
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,494
At camp Pendleton,
marines train to go in fast,

233
00:15:24,625 --> 00:15:28,493
by air, from the sea,

234
00:15:28,625 --> 00:15:30,866
and across the land

235
00:15:32,917 --> 00:15:35,499
vlarines are a triple threat.

236
00:15:48,292 --> 00:15:51,784
In one of the greatest battles
of world war il,

237
00:15:51,917 --> 00:15:55,785
viarines stormea the beachhead
at lwo jima island

238
00:15:55,917 --> 00:15:59,409
while the first marines landed,

239
00:15:59,542 --> 00:16:01,578
the enemy hid
in caves and tunnels,

240
00:16:01,708 --> 00:16:05,280
waiting for the right moment
to strike back

241
00:16:08,208 --> 00:16:11,041
then

242
00:16:11,167 --> 00:16:13,783
all hell broke loose

243
00:16:27,875 --> 00:16:30,366
Many became heroes that day.

244
00:16:30,500 --> 00:16:32,206
At the top of mount suribachi,

245
00:16:32,333 --> 00:16:36,076
marines raised
the stars and stripes,

246
00:16:36,208 --> 00:16:38,494
poosting morale
for all of our troops

247
00:16:38,625 --> 00:16:41,992
and creating the immortal image
known around the world

248
00:17:00,042 --> 00:17:04,706
Since lwo jima and other
island campaigns in the pacific

249
00:17:04,833 --> 00:17:06,698
in worla war 11,

250
00:17:06,833 --> 00:17:09,449
we've developed better ways
to get ashore.

251
00:17:12,042 --> 00:17:15,409
A landing craft air cushion,
lcac.,

252
00:17:15,542 --> 00:17:21,208
can carry vehicles and marines
even up over land.

253
00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:33,116
Man:
We need fast, long-range planes

254
00:17:33,250 --> 00:17:36,322
that can collect people Ana
equipment without an airfield.

255
00:17:36,458 --> 00:17:39,416
That's the osprey, the v-22.

256
00:17:42,917 --> 00:17:45,374
Hackman: The marines
are always devising new ways

257
00:17:45,500 --> 00:17:48,207
to get troops
where they need to be,

258
00:17:48,333 --> 00:17:51,530
and get them out safely.

259
00:17:58,917 --> 00:18:02,034
I'he training exercises across
marine corps bases and stations

260
00:18:02,167 --> 00:18:05,364
encompass every type
of a marine,

261
00:18:05,500 --> 00:18:09,448
including the four-legged kind.

262
00:18:13,583 --> 00:18:16,950
Loyalty is the hallmark
of the marine corps.

263
00:18:17,083 --> 00:18:20,826
And who's more loyal
than man's best friend?

264
00:18:24,458 --> 00:18:26,414
Man: When a handler and a dog

265
00:18:26,542 --> 00:18:29,204
- pecome a team...
- Up, up. Up, up. Up, up.

266
00:18:29,333 --> 00:18:31,351
They must first establish
a fundamental level of respect

267
00:18:31,375 --> 00:18:33,536
amongst each other.

268
00:18:33,667 --> 00:18:35,532
1he way you do that

269
00:18:35,667 --> 00:18:37,908
ss by simply spending time
with each other

270
00:18:38,042 --> 00:18:41,455
and letting the dog
be a dog around you,

271
00:18:41,583 --> 00:18:43,949
then slowly incorporating
commands as you go along.

272
00:18:51,250 --> 00:18:52,956
(00d

273
00:18:53,083 --> 00:18:57,031
man: The reason
training is happening every day

274
00:18:57,167 --> 00:19:00,739
is because the bona is
constantly being developed.

275
00:19:00,875 --> 00:19:03,161
And that bond is
what saves your life

276
00:19:03,292 --> 00:19:04,953
when you're downrange.

277
00:19:05,083 --> 00:19:07,620
Forward. Hop up.

278
00:19:07,750 --> 00:19:10,992
Forward. Easy.

279
00:19:11,125 --> 00:19:14,162
Aw, yeah. I hat's a gooa girl.

280
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,286
Man: What's
so beautiful about the bond

281
00:19:22,417 --> 00:19:24,578
petween a handler and their dog

282
00:19:24,708 --> 00:19:28,656
ss that you can communicate
without saying a word.

283
00:19:28,792 --> 00:19:31,864
Hackman:
Today, military working dogs

284
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,992
are trained at camp Pendleton
to detect bombs

285
00:19:35,125 --> 00:19:38,538
and prevent terrorist attacks.
Search

286
00:19:39,875 --> 00:19:41,991
search

287
00:19:42,125 --> 00:19:43,990
hackman: Villages have been
built to simulate

288
00:19:44,125 --> 00:19:46,411
- other parts of the world.
- That's a good boy.

289
00:19:46,542 --> 00:19:48,533
Hackman:
They look and sound authentic.

290
00:19:48,667 --> 00:19:51,283
They even smell
ike the real thing.

291
00:19:51,417 --> 00:19:54,284
Man: This dog
lies down and wags its tail

292
00:19:54,417 --> 00:19:57,159
when it finds explosives.

293
00:19:57,292 --> 00:19:59,499
Dogs have a better record
of finding explosives

294
00:19:59,625 --> 00:20:03,243
over anything else, even
fancy electronic equipment.

295
00:20:03,375 --> 00:20:04,660
Soldier: Good boy.

296
00:20:04,792 --> 00:20:08,330
Man: We love our dogs.

297
00:20:08,458 --> 00:20:11,621
We'd risk our lives for them:

298
00:20:11,750 --> 00:20:13,706
And vice versa

299
00:20:17,625 --> 00:20:19,411
hackman: In vietham,

300
00:20:19,542 --> 00:20:23,865
more dogs were deployed
nn combat than ever before

301
00:20:26,667 --> 00:20:28,908
over the course
of this long war,

302
00:20:29,042 --> 00:20:33,206
it was nice to see
some familiar faces from home.

303
00:20:33,333 --> 00:20:35,289
Folks like Bob hope.

304
00:20:35,417 --> 00:20:37,282
Bob hope:
And I want to tell you, folks,

305
00:20:37,417 --> 00:20:41,205
these marines are
really tough. -

306
00:20:41,333 --> 00:20:42,914
and their motto is
"semper fidelis."

307
00:20:43,042 --> 00:20:44,748
That means,
"oh, don't worry about it, doc,

308
00:20:44,875 --> 00:20:47,912
just nail it back on.”

309
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,242
Man: It was a difficult war,

310
00:20:54,375 --> 00:20:58,118
but getting a letter from home
meant everything to us.

311
00:21:00,542 --> 00:21:02,373
It's these moments
that remind us

312
00:21:02,500 --> 00:21:04,866
what we are protecting.

313
00:21:10,208 --> 00:21:13,200
Hackman: The mountain warfare
training center in bridgeport

314
00:21:13,333 --> 00:21:18,123
was founded in 1951
to train marines for Korea

315
00:21:21,583 --> 00:21:23,949
months after North Korea
invaded the south,

316
00:21:24,083 --> 00:21:26,324
a Chinese communist army
swept in,

317
00:21:26,458 --> 00:21:28,540
encircling
the 1st marine division

318
00:21:28,667 --> 00:21:33,240
at chosin reservorr,
just as a brutal winter set in.

319
00:21:35,292 --> 00:21:38,455
Our troops were surrounded
and badly outnumbered.

320
00:21:41,042 --> 00:21:45,035
Despite frostbite,
hunger and exhaustion,

321
00:21:45,167 --> 00:21:47,624
the marines carried
their wounded with them.

322
00:21:47,750 --> 00:21:51,038
As they fought their way
00 miles to the sea

323
00:21:57,083 --> 00:21:59,540
To prepare for harsh
cold-weather conditions,

324
00:21:59,667 --> 00:22:02,283
like those faced in Korea,

325
00:22:02,417 --> 00:22:05,784
marines train high
in California's Sierra Nevada

326
00:22:13,208 --> 00:22:15,199
Hackman: It's cold

327
00:22:15,333 --> 00:22:17,289
oh, yeah.

328
00:22:18,667 --> 00:22:19,907
All right.

329
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,000
0851

330
00:22:26,875 --> 00:22:28,866
man:
T's not just about being able

331
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,073
to jump into a frozen lake,
t's being the sort of person

332
00:22:33,208 --> 00:22:36,371
that can deal with anything
without fear

333
00:22:36,500 --> 00:22:39,617
that's the sort of person
that you can send anywhere.

334
00:22:42,958 --> 00:22:45,040
Here, we think about
a winter in Korea.

335
00:22:45,167 --> 00:22:48,034
Having to deal
with that kind of cold,

336
00:22:48,167 --> 00:22:50,453
I think,
is something I won't forget.

337
00:22:53,667 --> 00:22:56,955
Hackman: In the mountain
terrain at bridgeport,

338
00:22:57,083 --> 00:22:59,916
we also learn
to climb and rappel.

339
00:23:06,750 --> 00:23:08,706
J

340
00:23:15,417 --> 00:23:17,282
Man: Having to create

341
00:23:17,417 --> 00:23:22,286
your own one-rope Bridges
and-and jump in freezing water,

342
00:23:22,417 --> 00:23:24,908
it's just some
of the best training,

343
00:23:25,042 --> 00:23:28,034
most dangerous training we did.

344
00:23:28,167 --> 00:23:31,125
Hackman:
But it comes with consequences.

345
00:23:33,625 --> 00:23:35,536
Man:
If you have a fracture there...

346
00:23:35,667 --> 00:23:38,033
Hackman: The training
is realistic and tough.

347
00:23:38,167 --> 00:23:40,249
Man: Yeah, it's painful.

348
00:23:40,375 --> 00:23:42,741
Hackman: You won't forget it.

349
00:23:44,917 --> 00:23:46,873
J

350
00:23:55,167 --> 00:23:57,874
Man: We train
to get into places quickly.

351
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,867
We need to be able
to get ready in a few hours

352
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,956
at a moment's notice.

353
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,037
We don't choose
where they send us.

354
00:24:08,167 --> 00:24:10,123
J

355
00:24:20,208 --> 00:24:21,744
(50!

356
00:24:35,583 --> 00:24:38,245
Man: It's literally
a leap into the unknown.

357
00:24:41,208 --> 00:24:44,530
It's a different sort
of courage,

358
00:24:44,667 --> 00:24:46,953
dangling there in the dark,

359
00:24:47,083 --> 00:24:49,369
not knowing
what dangers are ahead.

360
00:24:51,958 --> 00:24:55,496
But what we do know is that we
are part of something bigger,

361
00:24:55,625 --> 00:24:57,206
more important than just us.

362
00:25:02,250 --> 00:25:04,115
Hackman: The corps
trains marine air crews

363
00:25:04,250 --> 00:25:07,117
to go in first,
fast and undetected.

364
00:25:07,250 --> 00:25:09,366
The best pilots are put through

365
00:25:09,500 --> 00:25:12,788
an intensive
seven-week training course.

366
00:25:12,917 --> 00:25:15,875
When marine infantry units
call in an air strike,

367
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,912
precision is vital.

368
00:25:19,042 --> 00:25:21,328
J lonely shadows... j

369
00:25:21,458 --> 00:25:23,323
the latest laser technology

370
00:25:23,458 --> 00:25:27,531
nas made this teamwork
more accurate than ever

371
00:25:27,667 --> 00:25:31,706
j lonely voices talking to me j

372
00:25:31,833 --> 00:25:33,949

376
00:25:41,375 --> 00:25:45,414

00:25:45,542 --> 00:25:49,080

378

00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,207
j lord, gimme that fire j

381
00:26:02,375 --> 00:26:05,663
j lord, gimme that fire j

382
00:26:05,792 --> 00:26:08,750
j burn, burn, burn... j

383
00:26:11,750 --> 00:26:14,617
man: When they're on the ground

384
00:26:14,750 --> 00:26:17,947
and they see our gunships
in the air protecting them,

385
00:26:18,083 --> 00:26:20,995
they're telling us
thank you every day.

386
00:26:21,125 --> 00:26:24,322
J' sold my soul
to a sweet melody... j

387
00:26:24,458 --> 00:26:26,574
hackman: When it's time to move,

388
00:26:26,708 --> 00:26:30,701
the ch-53 does
the heavy lifting.

389
00:26:30,833 --> 00:26:33,199
J lord, gimme that fire j

390
00:26:35,167 --> 00:26:37,408
j lord, gimme that fire j

391
00:26:39,583 --> 00:26:42,780
j lord, gimme that fire j

392
00:26:42,917 --> 00:26:45,704
j burn, burn, burn... j

393
00:26:49,667 --> 00:26:54,115
midair refueling is the modern
equivalent of jousting,

394
00:26:54,250 --> 00:26:56,866
except a lot more's at stake

395
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,867
if you don't hit the bull's-eye.

396
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,865
Pilot: 0-1-1. Iron horse 2-1.

397
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,161
We've got a good flow.

398
00:27:04,292 --> 00:27:07,034
Pilot 2: Copy.
Good flow on starboard hose.

399
00:27:07,167 --> 00:27:09,954
Hackman: Helicopter crashes
can be deadly,

400
00:27:10,083 --> 00:27:12,950
especially when water's involved

401
00:27:13,083 --> 00:27:14,948
so some marines now train

402
00:27:15,083 --> 00:27:19,782
to escape from a submerged
helicopter, upside down.

403
00:27:21,208 --> 00:27:23,164
J

404
00:27:36,958 --> 00:27:39,700
J vwwhen the night j

405
00:27:39,833 --> 00:27:41,789

406
00:27:44,083 --> 00:27:47,951
dp and the land is dark j

407
00:27:48,083 --> 00:27:50,699
d and the moon j

408
00:27:50,833 --> 00:27:57,409
j is the only light we'll see j

409
00:27:58,958 --> 00:28:01,244

410
00:28:01,375 --> 00:28:03,912

j as you stand j

414
00:28:16,042 --> 00:28:19,614
j stand by me. J

415
00:28:23,042 --> 00:28:24,907
man: When you do the dunker,

416
00:28:25,042 --> 00:28:27,909
it was the scariest thing I did

417
00:28:28,042 --> 00:28:30,328
in all of my training.

418
00:28:30,458 --> 00:28:33,905
Hackman: We do it three times.

419
00:28:35,625 --> 00:28:39,243
The third time, t's blindfolded

420
00:28:50,333 --> 00:28:53,245
We also train to proviae
humanitarian aid

421
00:28:53,375 --> 00:28:55,741
to other countries
around the world

422
00:28:55,875 --> 00:28:59,242
we're America's international
9-1-1 responders.

423
00:29:01,375 --> 00:29:04,947
When there's a disaster,
we're ready.

424
00:29:08,083 --> 00:29:09,518
Man:
As the philippine government

425
00:29:09,542 --> 00:29:11,123
ask us for-for support,

426
00:29:11,250 --> 00:29:13,115
I've got airplanes
that can look for people

427
00:29:13,250 --> 00:29:14,831
in-1n areas that are stranded.

428
00:29:14,958 --> 00:29:17,745
I'hat's what I do.

429
00:29:17,875 --> 00:29:19,866
Hackman:
Marines rushed to help in Japan

430
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,447
when a devastating earthquake
and Tsunami struck

431
00:29:25,458 --> 00:29:28,416
and in haltl,
after the earthquake.

432
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,448
And in Nepal, where six vlarines
lost their lives

433
00:29:34,583 --> 00:29:37,620
when their helicopter crashed
in bad weather

434
00:29:41,792 --> 00:29:44,750
viarines are reaay anytime.

435
00:29:48,875 --> 00:29:52,163
Several times a year,
we gather to coordinate

436
00:29:52,292 --> 00:29:54,408
the capabilities
we've trained for

437
00:29:54,542 --> 00:29:58,364
in a combined arms exercise
in twentynine palms,

438
00:29:58,500 --> 00:30:01,458
and at other bases nearby.

439
00:30:05,500 --> 00:30:07,707
It's a dance.

440
00:30:07,833 --> 00:30:09,289
And the combat operation center

441
00:30:09,417 --> 00:30:12,204
ls where the dance
is choreographed.

442
00:30:12,333 --> 00:30:13,664
Charlie 1-1, this is actual

443
00:30:13,792 --> 00:30:16,909
mission is a go.
I say again, mission is a go.

444
00:30:23,625 --> 00:30:26,867
Hackman: Their mission is
to land a battalion of marines

445
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,082
in a small desert village

446
00:30:29,208 --> 00:30:32,996
with integrated air
and logistics support.

447
00:30:33,125 --> 00:30:36,538
Now the dance begins.

448
00:30:36,667 --> 00:30:38,623
J

449
00:30:45,500 --> 00:30:47,411
Man: Ship is in flight quarters.

450
00:30:47,542 --> 00:30:49,954
All hands not involvea
in flight operations,

451
00:30:50,083 --> 00:30:51,869
stand clear of the flight deck.

452
00:31:06,292 --> 00:31:08,157
Hackman: One of the most
critical components

453
00:31:08,292 --> 00:31:11,284
of this dance
ss the fire support,

454
00:31:11,417 --> 00:31:13,157
which prepares the objective

455
00:31:13,292 --> 00:31:15,328
before we put
boots on the ground.

456
00:31:15,458 --> 00:31:17,665
I'hey have a language
all their own.

457
00:31:19,750 --> 00:31:21,490
Fire!

458
00:31:31,042 --> 00:31:33,283
There should be three positions.

459
00:31:33,417 --> 00:31:35,282
Hackman: The marines
always say that no plan

460
00:31:35,417 --> 00:31:37,373
survives first contact

461
00:31:40,917 --> 00:31:42,782
woman: Instructors will throw

462
00:31:42,917 --> 00:31:44,407
a wrench in our plans,

463
00:31:44,542 --> 00:31:46,453
so we'll know how to geal
with the unexpected.

464
00:31:46,583 --> 00:31:49,074
Soldier:
Thunder 4-1, immediate cast.

465
00:31:49,208 --> 00:31:51,324
Stand by for game plan
and eyeline.

466
00:31:51,458 --> 00:31:55,155
Pilot: Thunder 4-1. Ready. Copy.

467
00:31:55,292 --> 00:31:57,212
Hackman: Mortars protect
the approaching assault.

468
00:31:57,292 --> 00:31:58,782
Soldier: Fire!

469
00:32:08,750 --> 00:32:10,706
J

470
00:32:23,750 --> 00:32:25,706
J

471
00:32:42,917 --> 00:32:45,408
Hackman: This training
has been essential in irag

472
00:32:45,542 --> 00:32:47,908
and Afghanistan.

473
00:32:48,042 --> 00:32:51,079
Since the beginning of
the global war on terror,

474
00:32:51,208 --> 00:32:54,871
the face of combat has changed.

475
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,865
Man: We no longer have

476
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,207
- an enemy that wears uniforms.
- Fire!

477
00:32:59,333 --> 00:33:01,619
We don't have an enemy that,
uh, has a state capital.

478
00:33:01,750 --> 00:33:03,786
We don't even have an enemy
that has a state

479
00:33:03,917 --> 00:33:06,329
get over here! Come on! Come on!

480
00:33:06,458 --> 00:33:08,824
Hackman: In one block, they may
need to assault a building.

481
00:33:10,708 --> 00:33:12,949
And on the block
right next to it,

482
00:33:13,083 --> 00:33:17,702
nand out bottled water
and packaged meals.

483
00:33:17,833 --> 00:33:20,245
It's not just about using force,

484
00:33:20,375 --> 00:33:23,333
but also making and keeping
the peace.

485
00:33:27,125 --> 00:33:30,743
At the end of
a combined arms exercise,

486
00:33:30,875 --> 00:33:32,911
you work on ways to do it better

487
00:33:33,042 --> 00:33:36,489
98 a team the next time.

488
00:33:39,167 --> 00:33:41,453
Man: The difficult
you'll do immediately,

489
00:33:41,583 --> 00:33:44,040
and the impossible
just takes a little bit longer.

490
00:33:44,167 --> 00:33:46,123
And the marine corps
taught me that:

491
00:33:46,250 --> 00:33:48,707
Nothing was impossible.

492
00:33:55,083 --> 00:33:58,041
Man: We are ready
when others are not

493
00:33:58,167 --> 00:34:00,283
I'hat's why we're committed
to each other

494
00:34:00,417 --> 00:34:04,831
and to our core values of
honor, courage and commitment,

495
00:34:04,958 --> 00:34:07,324
selfless service and sacrifice.

496
00:34:11,667 --> 00:34:13,532
Woman: My favorite thing

497
00:34:13,667 --> 00:34:18,115
is being a leader
and being a mentor.

498
00:34:22,208 --> 00:34:24,351
Man: Theyre
the best people I've ever met,

499
00:34:24,375 --> 00:34:26,206
and it's been an absolute honor

500
00:34:26,333 --> 00:34:29,166
to be able to serve with them,
and it's something I'll Cherish

501
00:34:29,292 --> 00:34:30,873
for the rest of my life.

502
00:34:32,917 --> 00:34:36,614
Man:
And when we've done our job...

503
00:34:36,750 --> 00:34:40,072
We go home.

504
00:34:40,208 --> 00:34:44,076
That's when we realize
who we do it all for

505
00:34:44,208 --> 00:34:45,948
J

506
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,582

woman: Dad!

528
00:35:51,375 --> 00:35:53,286
Out in the eyes
of our loved ones,

529
00:35:53,417 --> 00:35:56,033
