00:04.969 --> 00:07.219
Operation Lethal Eagle is where our

00:07.219 --> 00:09.890
division centric field exercise where

00:09.890 --> 00:12.689
we deploy the 101st Airborne division

00:12.689 --> 00:14.800
into our training area and it's where

00:14.800 --> 00:17.370
we test not only our ability to execute

00:17.370 --> 00:19.930
with our emerging technology as a

00:19.930 --> 00:22.129
transformational division , but also

00:22.129 --> 00:25.290
where we really put one of our maneuver

00:25.290 --> 00:28.120
infantry brigades to test and test all

00:28.120 --> 00:30.231
of our war fighting functions . We're

00:30.231 --> 00:32.453
pretty fired up here to be working with

00:32.453 --> 00:36.340
Marines to be able to do that . So the

00:36.340 --> 00:38.396
sections we brought to OLE include a

00:38.396 --> 00:40.618
fire direction center , a communication

00:40.618 --> 00:42.729
section , the gun sections , which is

00:42.729 --> 00:44.562
the Marines inside the launchers

00:44.562 --> 00:46.284
themselves , and then you have

00:46.284 --> 00:48.340
basically your supporting staff . So

00:48.340 --> 00:50.284
really what we have is the minimum

00:50.284 --> 00:50.090
threshold for what a platoon needs to

00:50.090 --> 00:52.146
conduct its mission . We have a fire

00:52.146 --> 00:54.312
direction center to compute the data .

00:54.312 --> 00:56.423
We have a communication section which

00:56.423 --> 00:58.590
in in marriage with the fire direction

00:58.590 --> 01:00.590
center conducts all the command and

01:00.590 --> 01:02.534
control , and then we have our gun

01:02.534 --> 01:02.450
section which executes the missions .

01:03.599 --> 01:05.710
Hamas is important for Operation Leaf

01:05.710 --> 01:07.655
Eagle because aerosault operations

01:07.655 --> 01:09.766
require shaping effects , and the way

01:09.766 --> 01:11.877
that we accomplish shaping effects is

01:11.877 --> 01:14.210
by closely coordinated long range fires ,

01:14.210 --> 01:16.321
air strikes , artillery , things that

01:16.321 --> 01:18.543
eliminate enemy assets or threats to an

01:18.543 --> 01:20.543
otherwise very vulnerable air force

01:20.543 --> 01:22.599
that's flying in and dropping troops

01:22.599 --> 01:22.430
off .

01:27.940 --> 01:31.680
Launcher one fire mission . Hi Mars .

01:31.800 --> 01:34.279
Here in this operation Lethal Ego is

01:34.279 --> 01:37.160
our greatest reach capability to kill .

01:44.069 --> 01:46.510
If you couple the high mars with our

01:46.510 --> 01:48.566
attack aviation and the number of AH

01:48.566 --> 01:50.788
64s that we have in the 1001st Airborne

01:50.788 --> 01:52.510
division , you can imagine the

01:52.510 --> 01:54.230
lethality that we bring to the fight .
