00:14.640 --> 00:16.529
The innovative readiness Training

00:16.529 --> 00:18.550
mission , also known as I . R . T ,

00:18.550 --> 00:20.620
provides increased development of

00:20.620 --> 00:22.676
knowledge and skills to Air National

00:22.676 --> 00:24.980
Guard members in an environment that is

00:24.980 --> 00:27.620
not available at their home units . The

00:27.620 --> 00:30.170
program offers real world exercises

00:30.170 --> 00:32.380
while supplying much needed health and

00:32.380 --> 00:34.820
other services to the Black Belt region .

00:34.850 --> 00:37.520
We do need to go somewhere either for a

00:37.530 --> 00:41.090
flood hurricane , a combat environment .

00:41.100 --> 00:43.322
I think we'd be much better prepared as

00:43.322 --> 00:45.322
we continue to do these I . R . T .

00:45.322 --> 00:47.156
Missions and then everybody also

00:47.156 --> 00:49.378
benefits from patient population in the

00:49.378 --> 00:51.544
local area . Yeah , reporting from the

00:51.544 --> 00:53.544
Alabama Black Belt region . This is

00:53.544 --> 00:54.190
