WEBVTT

00:05.140 --> 00:07.520
I think that some of these back of us ,

00:08.340 --> 00:11.800
we in the long range surveillance

00:11.800 --> 00:14.120
company have a mission to support the

00:14.120 --> 00:16.310
pararescue unit and provide them some

00:16.310 --> 00:19.310
manpower to respond to a maritime or

00:19.320 --> 00:21.990
inland incident in the arctic circle .

00:22.000 --> 00:24.190
So what we did was to coordinate our

00:24.190 --> 00:26.790
efforts to actually train together and

00:26.800 --> 00:29.022
we're gonna collaborative environment .

00:29.022 --> 00:31.560
We were notified of a mission that

00:31.560 --> 00:33.782
needed to take place up on the northern

00:33.782 --> 00:35.893
coast of Alaska . Within two hours we

00:35.893 --> 00:37.949
came out , we read the airplane that

00:37.949 --> 00:40.060
was going to be prepared to drop both

00:40.060 --> 00:42.282
static line jumpers from the pararescue

00:42.282 --> 00:44.338
unit , their equipment to include an

00:44.338 --> 00:46.393
Argo and another palette of survival

00:46.393 --> 00:48.650
equipment . We jumped in , set up

00:48.660 --> 00:50.660
casualty collection point near a

00:50.670 --> 00:52.726
notionally crash C 1 30 . We started

00:52.726 --> 00:54.892
providing ground support by setting up

00:54.892 --> 00:56.726
the tents , setting up heaters ,

00:56.726 --> 00:58.726
generators and providing a critical

00:58.726 --> 01:00.892
infrastructure so they can concentrate

01:00.892 --> 01:03.114
on their task of triage in treating and

01:03.114 --> 01:05.281
evaluating patients for further care .

01:05.340 --> 01:07.396
It's the first time we've ever sling

01:07.396 --> 01:09.507
loaded and are go up here in Alaska ,

01:09.507 --> 01:11.562
just figuring out where the tie down

01:11.562 --> 01:11.490
points are , where the selling points

01:11.490 --> 01:13.657
are , where the strength and the frame

01:13.657 --> 01:15.700
is and make sure that the load is

01:15.700 --> 01:17.478
balanced and centered and flies

01:17.478 --> 01:19.700
correctly because safety is paramount .

01:19.700 --> 01:21.756
Is always watching the communication

01:21.756 --> 01:23.970
between the air force and the army was

01:23.980 --> 01:25.980
definitely a wonderful experience .

01:25.980 --> 01:29.200
Pull that up . Yeah . Joint exercises

01:29.200 --> 01:31.422
are critical . It's the way we're gonna

01:31.422 --> 01:33.422
find the future . If anybody thinks

01:33.422 --> 01:35.589
that you're going to go in by yourself

01:35.589 --> 01:35.280
as your own entity , then you're wrong .

01:35.290 --> 01:37.290
It's a joint effort and it's a team

01:37.290 --> 01:39.123
effort . And by coordinating and

01:39.123 --> 01:41.123
working together , we knock all the

01:41.123 --> 01:43.290
kinks out . All of our nomenclature is

01:43.290 --> 01:45.401
the same , our equipment the same and

01:45.401 --> 01:45.280
it makes us more efficient in the

01:45.280 --> 01:47.447
future . When we respond to situations

01:47.447 --> 01:49.780
like this , we get to work hand in hand ,

01:49.780 --> 01:51.558
we get to see a big puzzle come

01:51.558 --> 01:51.290
together with many different pieces .

01:51.300 --> 01:53.356
Actually synchronizing together . We

01:53.356 --> 01:55.960
can notify and short response , get out

01:55.960 --> 01:57.516
there , execute the mission

01:57.516 --> 01:59.516
successfully and bring everybody to

01:59.516 --> 02:01.516
include the stress personnel back .

02:01.516 --> 02:00.720
Yeah .
