Shoulders straight, sharp and ready. Sharpen your blade's edge.

We must train under conditions that resemble actual combat

to forge the tip of the spear.

The incense-sawing drill requires stability.

No matter the environment,

remain completely still.

Aiming must be precise.

Your eyes must have spirit and soul.

Let your eyes gleam, stare them down.

The trigger pull must be steady.

Align with your breathing.

Trust the conviction of your heartbeat.

Become centered.

Integrated, versatile, rapid response.

Full-spectrum operations.

These are the demands of our commander.

What makes a qualified marine?

I think...

only by courageously pushing forward.

From an elite sniper

to an amphibious elite,

finding myself on a new battlefield,

I came to realize

that the talent I was once so proud of

was merely the foundation.

Eyes right.

Eyes right.

Three, two, one.

The meters, seconds, and rings

on the range only create competition winners.

Training against a strong enemy

to be fast, accurate, and devastating

is how you forge

victorious soldiers for the battlefield.

Details determine life and death.

In training and preparing for war,

you must turn these actions

into muscle memory.

That is how you sharpen your blade for the enemy.

On the battlefield, maximize concealment.

Whichever side you present your weapon,

that same leg must be forward.

When getting up to move, be fast.

If you take fire while moving, hit the deck immediately.

The moment you are down,

move to the side.

Your shots must be absolutely fast and relatively accurate.

Fire while maneuvering.

Don't give the enemy a chance to raise their heads.

Here, every commander

is also the best soldier.

Every soldier

is a round in the chamber.

We are always ready for that day to come.

Casualties on the battlefield are inevitable.

Casualties on the battlefield are inevitable.

As soldiers,

we must be mentally prepared for this.

We must reduce this casualty rate to a minimum.

How do we minimize it?

By training a little harder.

By being a little tougher on them.

Some soldiers might find it hard.

Some soldiers might be young.

They might not understand you.

But when that day comes,

I believe they will understand.

I want to lead my squad

out there safely,

complete the mission smoothly,

and come back alive.

That is what I have always strived for.
