they take it up to the secretary of the navy. it takes a presidential declaration by president wilson to get the regiment to france. regiment gets to go on board the transport and the army says we can't transport you, we are full. the navy says we will take you on our ships. the fifth marines get there with the first division. they are again be first to fight. the marine corps is looking at an entire division to go in. an entire division. included heavy artillery, the whole bit. he started putting them along the supply and guarding things. the things that marines do. he said they are too different from us. they have different regulations and so forth. again, back to wilson. wilson says send over the sixth marines. another declaration. it takes the president twice to send marines to france. the marines got their nose under the tent and want to keep being -- sending marines over. what does he keep doing with them? he says i will use these gentlemen in their best duty, which is to guard things, but no combat. and then, wilson goes to

based on guarding the navy, the navy ports, navy yards. and one of the marine's fathers was head of the naval affairs committee and basically brought it to america's attention. and they said, no, we want marines. a lot of it was based on china and guantanamo bay. you can start to see people irritated by the marines. once the army, especially, so they survive. and then comes 1914 and vera cruz. and the marines have almost gone out of business this time by the navy and said the marines, we challenge you to make a landing. and they anticipated the naval exercise. and if you can't do it, your funding is gone. so luckily, john, the greatest naval commander of all, takes that unit down there to calabra and exceeds in planting the guns and bringing in some aviation into the fleet exercises. so it's another time the marines could have gone away but an uprising in mexico brought the marines to vera cruz in april 1914. so the marines are luckily there from the vera cruz exercises and they keep them together. so they go to vera cruz. and guess what? j

and the marines have almost gone out of business this time by the navy. and they said marines, we challenge you to make a landing, put up heavy naval weapons and participate in the 1914 naval exercises. and if you can't do it, your funding is gone. so luckily, john, the greatest naval commander of all, takes command of it. he takes that unit down there to calebra and succeeds in planting the guns and bringing in some aviation into the fleet exercises. so it's another time the marines could have gone away but an uprising in mexico brought the marines to vera cruz in april 1914. so the marines, luckily, are still there from the vera cruz exercises. they keep them together. and so they go to vera cruz. and guess what? who is there soon after to report? jack london, davis, and a lot of other reporters. you see that trend continue to grow. marines land. but one thing that happens at vera cruz is the navy says we can no longer do landing parties because they go ashore in their navy whites. they go into the streets of vera cruz and are shot down from all directio

the oss maritime unit is the navy seals. i wrote a book called the first seals which chronicles their extraordinary story where a medical student from the university of pennsylvania who tinkers in the summer with old gas masks and bicycle pumps develops a rebreather for the united states. the navy seals are born in a pool at a hotel a few blocks away from here which was a large indoor pool. they test the rebreather. a dentist from hollywood, hmg woolly, who is a screenwriter for paramount but also a commando and liaison officer with the british government. they come together to develop the first seals. it is extraordinary. taylor survives a german concentration camp after he parachutes behind the lines. the story of the oss is a story hidden in the national archives. i spent 20 years digging through literally cubic miles of records, some that had never been seen since the war to reveal these extraordinary stories. >> can you talk about the tradition of the silent guard? was that done simultaneously when the soldier was rested

that is the story of the navy, the american navy in world war i. wilsonh 1917, president had a real threat on his hands. german u-boats were sinking american shipping at an alarming rate. even before we entered world war i. there was a decision made to bring naval guards onboard merchant ships, to arm them with typically five inch guns and give the merchant ship a crew of about 15 naval personnel. they are naval guards during one of those was james delaney. james delaney was a tough irishman from boston, massachusetts. his body was inked with the ships he served on, serving since 18. his life was the navy, and he was given command of a naval gun cam on the uss -- the ss pana, merchant ship. their journey in the summer was mid-summer andl they were making their way back to the united states, and all of a sudden a torpedo nearly hit the ship. it was then quickly followed by artillery fire. the men manned their guns and began to respond. ewed by anwas cr expert, lieutenant captain dickman who had sunk 40 ships, na. no his prey was the campa they manne

we're talking about the navy and marine corps. we're going to talk about the air force and the army next week. i think we should talk about all of them at the same time because it's all equally important. but to get there we need to have a strategy that is actually sustainable instead of one that is based on hope. and to my mind, that is the worst thing that we can do to the men and women who serve in the military. is say, we want you to do all of this and we don't really have the funds to do it. so you're going to have to figure it out as you go. it would be far, far better to say, look, here's realistically where our budget is at. here's realistically what we can do. give them that task and then they will be trained and equipped to do it. instead of being asked to do more than we are willing to provide money for. it's one thing if this was one year. it's one thing if we had a surplus. but we don't. we have the budget environment that we have. so if we're going to get to the point where we adequately address readiness and address

source the two british divers will be joined by navy s.e.a.l. and escorting them through the narrow passage ways and either one or or two of them at time guiding them through and squeezing them through the narrow sections like a letter box almost. then they will get to the chamber three and hand them over to a separate team of experienced rescuers. they may take nem in stretcheths or en route to the outside world where their family might be waiting. and those family members, many of them, are on the mountain behind me waiting to their loved one to come out. won't know who is coming out first. as you said, the boys, themselves, are making that choice, as well as a doctor consulting with them, according to officials. the way has been agonizing. one 14-year-old inside the cave, part of that soccer team, he had his birthday inside there. we visited with his aunt and his grandmother who were very emotional, sitting, waiting, watching like everyone else to find out if he will be safe. >> translator: it's like i'm counting every second. i want to see h

dozens of volunteers are helping the navy divers. eration. this television actor is one of them. "water is the main obstacle," he says. "if we can get the water level down, the boys can be brought out." but while a massive pumping effort is reducing it in the first section of caves, it's having less effect deeper in, where the boys are trapped. so, the thai army has been taking equipment to the other end of the mountains to try and lower the water table here, close to their location. they have a number of ideas they want to try. but their first effort has been to divert the streams which feed the underground pools. we followed them up, alongside pipes that had been laid just in the past few days. this creek has completely dried up. a week ago it was filled with water. so you can see that this project, with all these pipes, is definitely having an impact. higher up, we were shown in newly built dam. work like this is now going on all over these mountains. no—one is sure yet how much they can bring down the water that is blocking the bo

my admiration goes out to the thai navy seals and the cave divers from the us and uk who went out totastic. we really saw that it was an international effort. people bringing in their skills from right across the globe, coming together to try to rescue these boys. very much so. the navy seals were expert divers and obviously they can speak thai which none of the international rescu e rs thai which none of the international rescuers could do, but the international team was in cage diving which is different to diving itself. we should remember as well that these boys didn't necessarily know how to swim, they had never really dived before, so that added to the complexity of this whole mission. absolutely. also the really difficult time constraints with the expected monsoon this past weekend, i have the greatest admiration for the thai authorities with their planning, i think they acted at exactly the right time to bring the children out. what was important was that we had some of the boys come out on sunday and then another rescue operation on monday. how important was it for them not t

cave not far behind me and everyone had been talking about this area called patsey a beach where the navy seals and other search and rescue personnel had been so close to the so many days they believe that the boys in the coach may be in this area because it was slightly elevated and they hoped that they had been sitting there since they went missing since they managed to escape the flood waters and been sitting in a dry area on this beach inside the cave system well according to what we've been told now by the chiang rai governor the navy seals in the last few hours managed to push through into that area called patio beach and there was no one there the area was flooded so they knew straight away that it would have been impossible for those boys and their coach to stay there so they continued on for another few hundred metres and found them sitting basically on a ledge on a dry part of the cave so that is where they found them we think it's a little bit difficult to get exact details but just short of four and a half kilometers inside that cave so that just tells you exactly how difficul

humanity and today we're happy to be a part of this rescue and ivan the herculean efforts, global effort, there were navy seals or seals that came from around the world to volunteer in that selfless way that heroes do to risk their own lives to go into that cave with blackout conditions to try to first find and then save those boys. you've been there. tell us what the amount of emergency responders and the amount of people who have come to pray and what it's been like at the base of that cave. >> yeah. i've got a lump in my throat right now because there's such a wonderful story to report and it's bittersweet because alisyn there was a diver a professional diver who lost his life in the narrow tunnels leading to where the boys are trapped all this time. the divers that we have gotten a chance to talk to, professionals have said this is the hardest thing they've ever had to do because the distance that people have to travel to reach that chamber, that cave where the boys were trapped. 2.5 miles in, four kilometers in, the mountain behind me and the sun is setting here right now and tunnels that were just

twelve boys and a quarter of a live right now back to a sense of danger that they're still facing the navy see you along with international divers going into this case to try to resupply and. the boys and the coach medical care as well as food and provisions i will waiting to hear from the thai authorities in a few hours time about their plan how they're going to bring those trapped people out now the way out is very difficult because the cave is it was centrally flooded in many areas and it took the navy seal and international divers over a week to get through it so you can imagine how the boys who have been trapped inside a cave for that long and really travel out so this is the next challenge now for the international efforts here in july and what sort of condition are they said to be. well we still haven't heard official word always heard is that the doctors are now examining all the poison to coach what we have seen in the video released by the time a.b.c. online indicates that they appear to be at least in much better condition than many people have thought and now we've spoken to pa

first, the security of britain and its empires as well as the strength of its navy would greatly ensure the security of the united states and the western hemisphere. second, it was germany and not japan that most seriously threatened britain security and even its survival. third, therefore it was germany that also posed the greatest danger to the security of the united states and it was therefore in the interest of both american and british security to use the full offensive strength of the united states in one from a single direction. atlantic first, defeat germany strategy. the quartet in the white house did indeed adopt plan d. enable the word dog stands for the d and so the strategy became known as plan dog. and plan dog meant that the fate of the united states was now inextricably bound to that of britain. now, even though in 1942 and most of 1943 more american forces would in fact be deployed against japan and against germany. plan dog nevertheless defined america's paramount wartime strategy and goals through the utterly unforeseeable events of the most destructive war in world h
