Where Defense Secretary Pete Hexeth And Secretary of State Marco Rubio reside Have prompted consideration of deploying Anti-drone laser technology Officials are evaluating the new systems To enhance base protection near the capital I think, yeah, I think that's a good idea I think you should probably do that I don't know why you wouldn't So, yeah, we need force protection Especially of our senior leaders and Americans in general But especially senior leaders and our assets Alright, next The Navy, the USS George H.W. Bush Departs Norfolk for deployment amid Iranian operations The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, USS George H.W. Bush And its strike group departs Naval Station Norfolk For a regularly scheduled deployment Just like we talked about with the Marines A lot of this stuff is regular It was going to happen anyway Whether we were doing stuff in Iran or not So just because more forces are deploying Doesn't necessarily mean that things are escalating A lot of this stuff is already on the books For years to come, especially with these fleets They know years out when they are deploying Going underway The movement occurs as part of the ongoing support To Operation Epic Fury and the U.S.-led campaign against Iran And deployment bolsters naval presence in the region During the heightened tensions Next, Navy revives high-energy laser weapons system For military exercise The U.S. Navy spent at least six months Resurrecting a high-energy laser weapon That had previously been installed on a warship The system was brought back into service For a major military exercise last year Officials recently disclosed the effort Highlights continued investment in direct-energy Capabilities for future naval operations If you haven't seen what some of these high-energy lasers Or direct-energy weapons can do Not just in terms of destruction But neutralizing stuff or... Was it decapacitating? Or whatever I'm having a blank but Incapacitating, rather People is pretty wild Anyway, on to the next Chief of Naval Operations expresses confidence In Middle East minesweeping capabilities The Chief of Naval Operations stated That the U.S. Navy's mine countermeasures package In the Middle East is a very good capability Amid potential Iranian mine threats The assessment came during the discussions Of Operation Epic Fury requirements U.S. forces remain prepared to address Any mine warfare challenges in the theater May have to help on YouTube at some point Because I'm curious, unless there's any Navy dudes out there I'm just curious how they do that kind of stuff Because those things It's not like they're always floating Like they're, you know Some of them are neutrally buoyant and that kind of stuff And it's just, you know... One, how do they find them? Two, how the hell do they get those things? You know, decommission those things without them exploding Or maybe they don't Maybe they allow them, you know, they get far enough away And they set out a remote debt on them I'm just more curious because I don't actually know Last one for the Navy is the USS Boxer Amphibious readiness group arrives in Hawaii In route to possible Middle East mission Up to 2,500 Marines and three Navy ships Of the USS Boxer Amphibious readiness group Arrived in Hawaii after departing San Diego last week The group is positioned for a possible mission In the Middle East as part of the ongoing Iran-related operations The movement supports rapid reinforcement operations In U.S. Central Command Alright, on to the Marines Marines announce ICE presence That's right, ICE, immigration Oh, shit Yeah, whatever ICE stands for Something... something enforcement Immigration control enforcement, maybe? I don't know, presence at Parris Island Boot Camp Out in Buford, South Carolina Sighting increased force protection measures Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, South Carolina Warned that federal agents will check visitors' lawful immigration status During Boot Camp graduation and family days The announcement was posted on the base's official webpage The policy applies to all events in South Carolina At the South Carolina installation Okay, that's... I wonder if they're doing that at all the bases though Not just Parris Island Because I don't know why you would just do it at Parris Island When you have Fort Jackson Which is also part... you know, Fort Jackson is in Columbia, South Carolina And that place has a Boot Camp as well For Army and Army is way bigger than the Marines So I'm not sure why you'd have it at Parris Island And not at Fort Jackson Army just isn't reporting it yet But... I mean... That's... unusual Next, Marine indicted for stealing and selling a javelin missile system And ammunition... we talked about this yesterday An ammunition technician specialist at the School of Inventory West Camp Milton, California Has been federally indicted for stealing a javelin missile system AT-4 anti-tank weapons And ammo The District Court of Arizona charges allege the items described as so lethal That the public cannot legally possess them Or sold The case involves weapons that are restricted for a civilian ownership I mean... The only incorrect or the wrong part here is the fact that he stole it from the military You know... I wouldn't mind having a couple AT-4s hanging around To be honest, I don't really have any for a javelin But... I mean... I'll take some AT-4s If you've ever fired one of those, they're fun Next... 2,500 Marines with the USS Boxer Amphibious Readiness Group Head towards Palsam and Middle East We actually just talked about this for the Navy So I'm gonna skip into it Before we get into the Air Force, so you guys aren't tracking nationals coming up at the beginning of May Slots are still available Got an amazing facility Staying indoor, on turf, in a gym And then 50 meters away is the indoor pool All in the same facility It's incredible Great ownership out there We're gonna have Taylor Starch absolutely destroying your hips But also teaching you how to run World-growing to teach you how to rock Set up your rock And then we're gonna take you to the pool And do 10 to 12 hours of instruction in the pool Teaching you how to be the most efficient on underwater Your wall pushes Mask and snorkel recovery Trading water Bobbing Buddy breathing We'll probably do some alternate water con as well It's gonna be a great time You guys can sign up at OperatorTrainingSummit.com Alright Yeah, yesterday I was dealing with this F-35 crashes near Nellis Air Force Base The Air Force F-35s from Nellis Air Force Base Crashed north of the base near Las Vegas, Nevada The pilot safety ejected and suffered only minor injuries Before receiving treatment The incident occurred at the training complex surrounding the base Which is up at the Nellis testing training range This was one of our guys actually And so I won't get into details of who he was Or what, just know that he's safe He was doing everything right So, yeah, we'll see what happens with the investigation Once they get all the parts and everything like that back To see what was actually going on But it's not like the way I understand it anyway Is it wasn't like a, it was uncontrollable And he had to bail out I'm guessing that things weren't within the right parameters So his confidence level of actually being able to land this thing Or without being auto ejected Because the F-35 will auto eject you He decided, hey, this is, let me get over a good spot Where nobody's going to get hurt on the ground And then I'm easily recoverable and let me eject So doing a controlled bailout So we'll see what happens with it Once the rest of it comes out Next, first fifth generation stealth fighters arrive at Masawa A contingent of fifth generation stealth fighters As in F-35s have arrived at Masawa Air Base in northern Japan Over the weekend, the aircraft represent the first permanent replacements For the F-16s long station there I'm sure this is correct and I'm not I'm not sure if they have the F-16s, but I thought they also had F-15Cs But I could be wrong Anyway, this is just part of the long standing Air Force commitment To modernize the fighter presence in Indo-Pacific Sorry guys, some stuff blew in, I'm still coughing But I don't think it's the sickness anymore I think it's actually all the crap that's in the air If you didn't know, Las Vegas actually has a lot of allergies Whatever it is that grows out in these fields but out in the desert It messes people up a lot And I think that's what it is with me right now Alright, next, A-10 Thunderbolt, a fleet in Middle East, poised to double But I thought we were getting rid of the A-10 I thought that the Air Force didn't need the A-10 anymore And didn't want the A-10 anymore Like so what are they doing deploying? I just, I don't understand The US military is pole position to double its A-10 presence in the Middle East As the close air support aircraft plays a key role in Operation Epic Fury No shit Additional A-10 squadrons are crossing the Atlantic to combat Iranian boats And Iranian-backed militias in Iraq The increase enhances ground attack capabilities against current threats I'm shocked How could this possibly be? We're supposed to be getting rid of the A-10s Well, with any luck, the Air Force decides to keep the A-10 around for another 10 years or more And starts funding them correctly and manning them correctly Instead of trying to kill them by a thousand cuts Because that's what the Air Force is trying to do Because they're too scared to actually go, alright, we're just cutting this thing Probably because Congress is going, what are you doing? Not on my watch Alright, Air Force reactivates MQ-9 Reaper Drone Squadron at Creech Air Force Base The Air Force reactivated the 42nd Attack Squadron at Creech Air Force Base, Nevada Which flies the MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aerial vehicle The unit was the first in the Air Force to operate the Reaper beginning in 2006 And accumulated more than 180,000 combat hours over Afghanistan Before becoming dormant in 2020 The reactivation returns the heavily armed drone to active status Hell, yeah Alright, Space Force supports NASA armadist's two crewed moon-mishing launch today And before I got in here, I saw that everything's a go So unless something else happens, they are in fact going to launch today And I think it's six something Eastern times, or three something Pacific So Space Launch Delta 45, which oversees operations at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida Is providing range safety, security and weather monitoring for NASA's armadist Two missions scheduled to lift off on the evening of April 1st The Space Force's role mirrors standard launch support But requires the additional personnel, analysis and security measures Due to the mission's high public interest and crewed nature Officials emphasize that the support ensures a safe and secure launch environment Godspeed to those guys and girls Man, it's pretty wild, they're about to go farther from Earth than any human has ever gone So if you're not excited about it, what's wrong with you?

No, however, I do believe in being poised and ready to do whatever needs to be done to meet the objectives Because what you don't want to do is half-ass kind of operations and then you never actually achieve your goal You may say you achieve your goal, but you never actually do You got to go all the way in I'm not saying that you should go all the way in on the ground, I'm just saying that you got to be prepared to Let's see here Next, Defense Secretary describes Pentagon role as pressuring Iran into talks Defense Secretary Pete Hexeth stated the diplomatic talks to end the conflict with Iran are gaining strength and that the US military job is to Sorry, I lost my place Job is to maintain pressure on Tehran to compel a deal He described upcoming days as decisive in the campaign and the assessment was made during a 31 March news conference Next, Secretary of Defense is scheduled to testify before Congress on the Iran war He slated to testify before the House Armed Service Committee at the end of the month This will mark his first public appearance before the panel since the US-Israeli war with Iran began And the hearing will address the ongoing military campaign Next, for the SEC DEF prioritizes bunkers and force protection for the Middle East He identified fielding more hard-run shelters as a top Pentagon priority to protect US forces at bases in the Middle East from Iranian attacks The focus stems from recent strikes and vulnerability assessments Enhanced force protection measures including anti-drone systems are also under consideration Everything should be under consideration to make sure everybody's protected the best possible extent Next, going on to the President of the United States, President Trump criticizes allies over support of the Iran war and Strait of Hormuz security President Donald Trump lashed out at allies unwilling to do more to support the US war effort against Iran telling them to secure their own oil And stating it was not America's job to protect the Strait of Hormuz Agreed The remarks followed US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and an Iranian attack on oil tanker off the Dubai coast Trump emphasized the United States should not bear the full burden of regional security Agreed, we don't actually get that much oil, we don't rely on the Strait of Hormuz as much as the rest of Europe does This is actually their problem to solve President Donald Trump suggests Iran war could end within two weeks President Donald Trump suggests that the war with Iran will end soon, noting the national average price of gas, of gallon of gas has risen above $4 The commitment was made amid ongoing US-Israeli operations under operation of Epic Fury Trump indicated the decisive progress had been achieved in the month-long campaign If you remember at the beginning of this whole thing, they said four to six weeks, well, we're four weeks in now And he's saying, noting that it could end within the next two weeks, that is on timeline, but we'll see what happens Moving on to operational stuff, US forces conduct record number of Tomahawk strikes and intensify A-10 operations in the operation Epic Fury The US military has fired more Tomahawk missiles, because I think they were at 850 Fired more Tomahawk missiles during the month-old operation Epic Fury than any other campaign in history, according to a think tank analysis The A-10 Thunderbolt fleet is poised to double with the Middle East, we just talked about that A US Air Force radar plane was damaged, we already talked about that as well You guys know the awash.rect, I did see a cool AI video of it with a bunch of duct tape on it and they duct tape the tail back onto the body And then duct tape the radar dish onto the body and took it off Couldn't help but think about my maintainers at that point, man, they're out there doing great work That is it for today, do appreciate you guys joining us, if you don't mind, like, subscribe, hit that notification bell, leave us a comment Go to onesrated.com if you want, it shouldn't get in any merch and then support or you can find our partners over there as well If you want to get discounts on stuff, and then don't forget to go to operatorsradingsummit.com to get registered for our next OTS Alright, we're out here, soon!
