00:01What was the key to the perfection behind President Trump's operation to arrest President Maduro of Venezuela?
00:07The sheer strength of the United States begins with the Marine Corps' training,
00:11a regiment that is truly on a different level.
00:14For a United States Marine, the most dangerous battlefield isn't always a vast open desert or a dense jungle.
00:20Often, it is a city, a maze of concrete, windows, and shadows,
00:24where danger can come from above, below, and from any side.
00:30To survive and win in this chaotic environment, excellence isn't just a goal, it is a requirement.
00:36And that excellence begins here, at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in 29 Palms, California,
00:42known simply as The Stumps.
00:44This sprawling base in the Mojave Desert is the premier training ground for the Marine Corps.
00:53Right now, Marines from Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division,
00:59are put to the test.
01:01They are conducting a high-intensity platoon-level offensive tactics training exercise.
01:05But this is not just practice, this is a rehearsal for reality.
01:08These Marines are preparing for the Unit Deployment Program,
01:11a strategic rotation that will soon send them across the Pacific to Okinawa, Japan.
01:15Before they can stand guard in the Indo-Pacific, they must first prove they can dominate the urban grid.
01:20Urban Warfare, or what the military calls Moot, Military Operations on Urbanized Terrain,
01:31is widely considered the most complex form of combat.
01:34Unlike open fields, a city restricts movement, buildings channel troops into kill zones,
01:39and communication becomes difficult.
01:46In this scenario, Fox Company must clear a sector of a mock city.
01:49The training is designed to be as realistic as possible.
01:52They aren't just shooting blanks, they are battling friction, fatigue, and the fog of war.
01:57The scenario throws everything at them, breaching fortified doors, clearing rooms house by house,
02:02evading enemy snipers hidden in high-rises, and overcoming physical barriers.
02:10Watch how they move. It requires hyper-awareness.
02:13Every corner is a question mark.
02:15This training builds what Marines call situational awareness.
02:18It forces them to make split-second life-or-death decisions while maintaining absolute focus.
02:22It creates a mindset where they can adapt instantly to the unexpected.
02:29But modern warfare isn't just about boots on the ground.
02:32It's about eyes in the sky.
02:34In this urban canyon, the drone is an essential teammate.
02:37Before a squad stacks up to breach a door,
02:39small unmanned aerial systems are deployed to scout ahead.
02:42They identify enemy strongpoints and defensive positions,
02:45allowing the Marines to gain a tactical advantage without exposing themselves to fire.
02:49Safety is paramount, but speed is the weapon.
02:51Once the intelligence is gathered, the Marines move with violence of action,
02:55securing the objective and neutralizing the opposing force.
03:02The learning doesn't stop when the shooting ends.
03:04Perhaps the most critical part of this training happens afterwards.
03:07The Marines conduct a rigorous tactical analysis.
03:09Using combat footage and GPS data tracking their every move, they dissect the battle.
03:14What went right? Where did they hesitate?
03:16This data-driven approach turns raw effort into refined skill.
03:19From the dust of the Mojave to the streets of future conflicts,
03:22this is how the U.S. Marine Corps stays sharp.
03:24They train like they fight, ensuring that when the call comes, they are ready to answer.
03:28And you've got one text from a when you're ready to answer.
