00:00.009 --> 00:01.620
We still face threats to our

00:01.620 --> 00:03.842
sovereignty , to our peace , and to our

00:03.842 --> 00:05.929
prosperity . We still need the

00:05.929 --> 00:08.399
capability to address those threats .

00:08.770 --> 00:11.090
We must always ensure Cobra Gold adapts

00:11.090 --> 00:13.949
to meet new challenges . We must always

00:13.949 --> 00:16.010
ensure Cobra Gold incorporates new

00:16.010 --> 00:19.079
capabilities we need . And we must

00:19.079 --> 00:21.440
always ensure Cobra Gold improves the

00:21.440 --> 00:24.440
interoperability we need to defend our

00:24.440 --> 00:27.079
sovereignty and prosperity now and in

00:27.079 --> 00:29.600
the future . We need Cobra Gold because

00:29.600 --> 00:31.719
we still stand for peace through

00:31.719 --> 00:32.719
strength .

00:36.340 --> 00:38.790
As Secretary of State Marco Rubio said

00:38.790 --> 00:40.679
this month at the Munich Security

00:40.679 --> 00:42.790
Conference , armies do not fight for

00:42.790 --> 00:45.389
abstractions . Armies fight for a

00:45.389 --> 00:48.470
people , armies fight for a nation ,

00:48.830 --> 00:51.709
armies fight for a way of life , and

00:51.709 --> 00:53.487
that is what we are defending .

00:54.439 --> 00:57.709
Secretary Rubio made it clear we want

00:57.709 --> 00:59.840
allies who can defend themselves so

00:59.840 --> 01:02.520
that no adversary will ever be tempted

01:02.520 --> 01:05.489
to test our collective strength . And

01:05.489 --> 01:07.660
that is what Cobra Gold is all about .

01:08.019 --> 01:11.220
Allies of partners working together and

01:11.220 --> 01:13.819
stronger together to deter aggression

01:14.019 --> 01:16.860
and defend our nation . Cobra Gold ,

01:17.019 --> 01:19.620
simply put , is about peace through

01:19.620 --> 01:19.980
strength .
