WEBVTT 00:15.539 --> 00:17.761 Marines with first marine expeditionary 00:17.761 --> 00:19.928 force have made their way to Australia 00:19.928 --> 00:22.350 for marine rotational force . Darwin 23 00:22.500 --> 00:24.333 marine rotational force . Darwin 00:24.333 --> 00:27.250 started March 2023 will continue until 00:27.260 --> 00:30.290 October 2023 . Roughly 00:30.299 --> 00:32.819 2500 marines have been deployed to the 00:32.830 --> 00:35.052 12th cycle to marine rotational force . 00:35.060 --> 00:37.060 Darwin and will be working with the 00:37.060 --> 00:39.060 Australian Defense Force during the 00:39.060 --> 00:41.227 deployment . Marine rotational force . 00:41.227 --> 00:43.116 Darwin enhances us and Australian 00:43.116 --> 00:44.830 interoperability by improving 00:44.840 --> 00:46.529 responsiveness to crisis and 00:46.540 --> 00:48.915 contingencies , increasing combined war 00:48.924 --> 00:51.194 fighting capabilities and strengthening 00:51.205 --> 00:53.205 alliances and partnerships . Marine 00:53.205 --> 00:55.316 rotational force . Darwin consists of 00:55.316 --> 00:57.483 live fire exercises , aerial refueling 00:57.483 --> 00:59.316 exercises , combat casualty care 00:59.316 --> 01:01.483 exercises and more to learn more about 01:01.483 --> 01:03.649 marine rotational force . Darwin 23 or 01:03.649 --> 01:06.214 previous iterations visit marines dot 01:06.224 --> 01:06.525 Mil .
