WEBVTT 00:04.099 --> 00:06.929 That area , the area that fits that 00:06.929 --> 00:09.800 definition grows at an exponential pace . 00:10.579 --> 00:12.468 Similarly , the need for maritime 00:12.468 --> 00:15.279 infantry , soldiers from the sea , 00:15.779 --> 00:18.780 Marines will be essential to lasting 00:18.780 --> 00:21.139 security . Chile is among our most 00:21.139 --> 00:23.250 capable partners in both the Navy and 00:23.250 --> 00:25.472 Marine Corps that will continue to play 00:25.472 --> 00:27.583 an increasing role in promoting peace 00:27.583 --> 00:29.417 in the West . My name is Colonel 00:29.417 --> 00:31.639 Nicholas Johnson , United States Marine 00:31.639 --> 00:33.806 Corps . I am the deputy Chief of Staff 00:33.806 --> 00:36.028 for Marine Forces South , headquartered 00:36.028 --> 00:38.195 in New Orleans , Louis . The strategic 00:38.195 --> 00:40.306 objective of this maritime staff talk 00:40.306 --> 00:42.990 is to ensure our priorities for the 00:42.990 --> 00:44.990 United States and the United States 00:44.990 --> 00:46.879 Southern Command as it applies to 00:46.879 --> 00:48.934 Marine forces South are aligned with 00:48.934 --> 00:50.823 those of the Chilean Navy and the 00:50.823 --> 00:54.680 Chilean Marine Corps .

I work at US NAV South 4th 01:57.387 --> 01:59.442 Fleet as a regional desk officer for 01:59.442 --> 02:01.720 the US and Chilean , uh , relationship . 02:01.720 --> 02:03.276 So some of the key areas of 02:03.276 --> 02:05.442 interoperability we're working on with 02:05.442 --> 02:07.553 the Armada de Chile are enhancing our 02:07.553 --> 02:09.776 communications and our understanding of 02:09.776 --> 02:11.887 shared maritime domain awareness , as 02:11.887 --> 02:14.053 well as working cooperatively together 02:14.053 --> 02:16.164 at sea and in the litals to get after 02:16.164 --> 02:18.387 the most pressing threats in the region 02:18.387 --> 02:20.442 and per senior guidance supply total 02:20.442 --> 02:22.331 systemic friction on our maritime 02:22.331 --> 02:25.270 threats . The reason why these talks 02:25.270 --> 02:27.270 are so important right now is we've 02:27.270 --> 02:30.270 seen a renewed emphasis on Western 02:30.270 --> 02:32.710 Hemisphere operations , and Chile has 02:32.710 --> 02:34.599 been one of our most reliable and 02:34.599 --> 02:36.821 consistent partners in the region . Not 02:36.821 --> 02:39.389 only do they have extensive capability 02:39.389 --> 02:41.710 in the maritime domain , they have 02:41.710 --> 02:44.710 alignment on a way ahead , and I think . 02:44.854 --> 02:47.175 These talks have reinforced that we 02:47.175 --> 02:49.574 have incredibly similar values to the 02:49.574 --> 02:51.741 people of Chile , and there is so much 02:51.741 --> 02:55.414 that unites us . It is an honor to be 02:55.414 --> 02:58.375 the partner of choice for Chile , and I 02:58.375 --> 03:00.597 look forward to continuing working with 03:00.597 --> 03:02.819 them as we move forward to tackle these 03:02.819 --> 03:03.945 challenges that we have in the future .
