00:07.040 --> 00:09.207
So yesterday we were activated to come

00:09.207 --> 00:11.410
down to help the town of Cordova with

00:11.410 --> 00:13.540
snow removal , excavation and

00:13.540 --> 00:15.707
preparations for possible avalanches .

00:24.340 --> 00:26.830
We are here to support the community so

00:26.830 --> 00:28.830
as long as the community deems that

00:28.830 --> 00:30.997
they need us , as long as the governor

00:30.997 --> 00:30.820
says we need to stay , we're gonna be

00:30.820 --> 00:33.400
here . Cordova is actually a very proud

00:33.400 --> 00:35.622
city . So it took a lot for them to ask

00:35.622 --> 00:37.567
for help and I don't think they're

00:37.567 --> 00:39.733
gonna ask us to stay around and shovel

00:39.733 --> 00:41.900
their driveways . Uh I believe once we

00:41.900 --> 00:44.067
shovel off the roofs , get them access

00:44.067 --> 00:46.233
to the facilities and to the port that

00:46.233 --> 00:48.233
they need restore the services that

00:48.233 --> 00:50.511
they're lacking currently I think well ,

00:50.511 --> 00:52.622
complete our mission and head back to

00:52.622 --> 00:50.950
Anchorage .

01:00.940 --> 01:03.720
Yes . Well we trained on this

01:03.720 --> 01:05.942
particular mission last year , vigilant

01:05.942 --> 01:07.998
guard , which was a blessing because

01:07.998 --> 01:10.164
many of our soldiers have already been

01:10.164 --> 01:12.400
exposed to uh cold weather conditions ,

01:12.400 --> 01:15.220
recovery , avalanche building collapse ,

01:15.230 --> 01:17.490
uh snow removal operations . So that

01:17.490 --> 01:19.434
was actually a great thing to have

01:19.434 --> 01:21.434
visited our last year . Once we got

01:21.434 --> 01:23.546
here this year , we instantly started

01:23.546 --> 01:23.300
training on the new equipment that we

01:23.300 --> 01:25.522
were issued this morning so that we can

01:25.522 --> 01:26.660
get all our soldiers up to speed on it
