WEBVTT 00:00.740 --> 00:02.740 A wounded soldier becomes separated 00:02.740 --> 00:04.907 from his unit and stranded at sea with 00:04.907 --> 00:06.869 just minutes to live . It's one of 00:06.880 --> 00:08.880 several crisis response scenarios . 00:08.880 --> 00:10.991 These troops are training for as part 00:10.991 --> 00:14.300 of bull shark 24 during the two day 00:14.310 --> 00:16.489 field exercise , service members from 00:16.500 --> 00:18.500 combined joint task force , Horn of 00:18.500 --> 00:20.556 Africa . Combined efforts with their 00:20.556 --> 00:22.879 French Spanish and Djiboutian partners 00:22.899 --> 00:24.677 to rehearse , rescuing military 00:24.677 --> 00:27.229 personnel and civilians from a hostile 00:27.239 --> 00:29.430 environment . Training helps build 00:29.440 --> 00:31.607 collaboration and co ordination during 00:31.607 --> 00:33.662 a crisis . Any time we can get a rep 00:33.662 --> 00:35.829 with all the different players and all 00:35.829 --> 00:37.940 the different nations to be better at 00:37.940 --> 00:39.996 what we're here for . I think it's a 00:39.996 --> 00:42.107 good thing . Major Rich Webb was part 00:42.107 --> 00:44.162 of the marine search and rescue crew 00:44.162 --> 00:46.107 that transported an air force pair 00:46.107 --> 00:45.880 rescue squadron off the coast of 00:45.889 --> 00:48.119 Djibouti to recover casualties and 00:48.130 --> 00:50.241 hoist them the safety . We don't want 00:50.241 --> 00:52.297 anybody to be stuck out anywhere for 00:52.297 --> 00:54.408 longer than they have to . That's the 00:54.408 --> 00:56.574 pj's goal . That's our goal . Everyone 00:56.574 --> 00:58.352 around here works together . If 00:58.352 --> 01:00.463 somebody needs help somewhere , we're 01:00.463 --> 01:02.463 going to go for Marine Corps load . 01:02.463 --> 01:04.463 Master gunnery sergeant David Law . 01:04.463 --> 01:04.319 This was his second go round 01:04.330 --> 01:06.669 participating in the bi annual exercise . 01:06.680 --> 01:08.847 He says that experience helped him and 01:08.847 --> 01:11.013 his team navigate through rough waters 01:11.013 --> 01:13.347 when it comes down to personal recovery , 01:13.347 --> 01:15.402 especially in the water . As you can 01:15.402 --> 01:14.940 imagine , it can get pretty complicated 01:14.949 --> 01:17.116 fairly quick with sea states and winds 01:17.116 --> 01:19.060 and such . Not only that finding a 01:19.060 --> 01:20.949 person in the water can be fairly 01:20.949 --> 01:23.171 difficult as well . So making sure that 01:23.171 --> 01:25.282 you put the recovery package as close 01:25.282 --> 01:27.227 as possible , the personnel of the 01:27.227 --> 01:29.220 water is pretty critical . So once 01:29.230 --> 01:31.286 they're in the water , they have the 01:31.286 --> 01:33.452 visual range to be able to find them . 01:33.452 --> 01:35.619 But even on land , tracking a troop in 01:35.619 --> 01:37.730 isolation has its challenges . On day 01:37.730 --> 01:39.730 two , a combined team that included 01:39.730 --> 01:41.619 soldiers from CJTF Hoa's security 01:41.619 --> 01:43.841 Augmentation task force . Paxton Fanned 01:43.841 --> 01:46.008 across the hills of Djibouti searching 01:46.008 --> 01:48.174 for survivors of a mock plane crash as 01:48.174 --> 01:50.063 they provided medical care to the 01:50.063 --> 01:52.339 wounded . The team was hit with a 01:52.349 --> 01:55.230 simulated ambush , forcing a rescue 01:55.239 --> 01:58.900 under relentless fire . Once the dust 01:58.910 --> 02:01.077 settled and personnel secured , it was 02:01.077 --> 02:03.400 mission complete culminating months of 02:03.410 --> 02:05.190 co ordination and planning ho 02:05.370 --> 02:07.849 operations on both land and sea are 02:07.860 --> 02:09.527 risky endeavors and we did it 02:09.527 --> 02:11.638 flawlessly . Us . Army Captain Robert 02:11.779 --> 02:13.723 Kuczynski is the exercise planning 02:13.723 --> 02:16.009 officer for CJ T HOA . And though Bull 02:16.020 --> 02:18.770 shark 24 may be over the work on bull 02:18.779 --> 02:21.899 shark . 25 is just beginning . I'm 02:22.360 --> 02:25.070 so proud of the team that brought , 02:25.080 --> 02:27.302 that came together to make this mission 02:27.302 --> 02:29.469 happen . And I think that this will be 02:29.469 --> 02:30.179 very hard to top for next year .
