WEBVTT

00:17.500 --> 00:18.190
This is a.

00:19.030 --> 00:21.550
Mostly quarterly exercise. We do.

00:22.090 --> 00:22.920
Throughout the year.

00:23.690 --> 00:27.780
Between the mobility air forcesand the of the army airborne

00:27.780 --> 00:28.380
corps here.

00:29.270 --> 00:33.230
They have a recurring requirementcapability.

00:33.840 --> 00:38.260
To sustain a global response forcewhich is essentially a bunch

00:38.260 --> 00:39.620
of folks punch army.

00:40.290 --> 00:43.610
Soldiers that on a moment's noticemay be asked to go anymore.

00:43.610 --> 00:44.310
And the world.

00:45.070 --> 00:51.430
To. Tear drop per shoot into anylocation and securing airfield

00:51.910 --> 00:55.890
take care of us citizens are mahalmyriad of our ground missions

00:55.890 --> 01:00.300
that they would be asked to do ourjob is the the air force element

01:00.400 --> 01:02.250
is to get them more ofa they need to go.

01:03.900 --> 01:08.040
And the exercise itself exercisesthat capability where we give

01:08.040 --> 01:11.500
off of the joint partners togetherthe army and the air force.

01:12.000 --> 01:16.930
I'm very them up in an exercise gettingout everyone ready getting

01:16.930 --> 01:20.810
out of town and air dropping theminto a certain location sometimes

01:20.810 --> 01:24.840
it happens here at pope bragg properwill be dropped among the

01:24.840 --> 01:29.440
drops owns just to the west of hereof this most recent exercise

01:29.440 --> 01:32.800
was little bit different in theirhow we took them away from

01:32.800 --> 01:36.930
the local area and drop them down inLouisiana at the joint readiness

01:36.930 --> 01:38.480
training center there.

01:40.090 --> 01:44.070
Well the reason that we would be trainingto drop into an airfield

01:44.070 --> 01:46.720
like this work sometimes it's notnecessarily in their field

01:46.760 --> 01:51.160
could be in the middle of open spaceswhere there isn't a national

01:51.160 --> 01:54.820
or field to land at two to getthe army to where they need to

01:54.820 --> 01:58.230
go and so we need to continue thatcapability and here. We could

01:58.230 --> 01:59.620
be called anywhere in the world.

02:00.170 --> 02:03.690
Today there do that to drop someoneinto a place where there

02:03.690 --> 02:08.940
is no runway capability or we couldhave a runway this not usable

02:09.130 --> 02:12.180
where we need to drop the army andand then they have engineered

02:12.180 --> 02:14.400
Italians and the like that would.

02:14.910 --> 02:18.150
Repair the runway make it readyfor a follow on forces to be

02:18.150 --> 02:21.300
able to going and the normalair land. Operation.

02:23.150 --> 02:27.300
And the players for this particularand joe acts exercise were.

02:27.860 --> 02:31.710
From the air force perspective wehad several different flying

02:31.710 --> 02:36.220
units represented from see seventeenside. There were system

02:36.220 --> 02:41.320
teen aircraft and crews from trawlstone air force base on cord

02:41.740 --> 02:46.670
as well as altus eighty see provideda crew and their part her craft.

02:47.500 --> 02:52.280
I'm on C thirties and that participateis a local pope.

02:52.870 --> 02:56.720
Bragged unit here. The two year faiyuma total force integration unit.

02:57.260 --> 03:02.210
Had three aircraft as well as acontingents from little rock

03:02.570 --> 03:07.990
diocese and the almond or flaskof guard in the region their

03:07.990 --> 03:12.270
national guard as well and also a oneare crash from blacks in Mississippi.

03:13.880 --> 03:17.400
That's just of wine portion ofit and in addition to that we

03:17.400 --> 03:21.210
had the representatives from the usthe can tissue response wanting

03:21.660 --> 03:22.220
a pet.

03:22.830 --> 03:27.930
Maguire. The twenty first in Moscowplayed. It are a tanker of

03:27.930 --> 03:31.810
control center as Walser mobilitydivision and then.

03:32.350 --> 03:35.980
The uniqueness of this one withus flying everyone down to.

03:36.730 --> 03:39.830
A chair to see trajectory is trainingcenter there were also

03:39.830 --> 03:43.670
players down there a whichare typically covered by.

03:44.440 --> 03:48.890
The training become a train squadronsat little rock and as well

03:48.890 --> 03:51.360
some other players aroundthe air force.

03:52.230 --> 03:53.790
From an army perspective.

03:54.340 --> 03:58.890
This was very heavy heart the tothe cities it to second Brigade

03:58.890 --> 04:02.930
combat team. I was really thereand at them as the main player

04:02.930 --> 04:07.320
in this exercise our role was toget them down to jrotc to to

04:07.320 --> 04:11.300
exercised this capability to openthe airfield to to do the the

04:11.300 --> 04:13.420
joint forced entry operation.

04:14.000 --> 04:18.190
Are india there were a couple ofother army units that I cannot

04:18.230 --> 04:21.690
honestly think of of the top myhead but did did support them

04:21.690 --> 04:22.480
in that endeavor.

04:24.480 --> 04:29.810
It is very challenging at timesa in one we brand air force and

04:29.810 --> 04:32.460
army entities together like thisand this is one of the reasons

04:32.460 --> 04:36.580
that we do this on a recurring basisbecause I we chair on lexicon week.

04:36.580 --> 04:41.440
We talk about a things in our ownservice channel's that they

04:41.440 --> 04:44.510
were very familiar with that thenwe come together as a joint

04:44.510 --> 04:48.140
force and there are star seems thereare challenges that we we

04:48.140 --> 04:51.700
have to overcome just sometimesthe words we use the acronyms

04:51.700 --> 04:52.530
that are thrown out.

04:53.150 --> 04:54.130
Of the ten.

04:54.670 --> 04:59.380
Can bring a challenge on its typicallythe simple operation and

04:59.690 --> 05:03.120
that in this one was a differentthere were challenges we'd have

05:03.120 --> 05:06.720
a lot of great lessons learned duringthe operation and hopefully

05:06.720 --> 05:11.060
will continue to incorporate thoseand improving and follow one

05:11.060 --> 05:12.280
exercises as well.

05:13.070 --> 05:16.490
What we did learn some valuablelessons. However it in and we

05:16.490 --> 05:19.020
always do and the whenever we cometogether like I said with

05:19.020 --> 05:23.940
the challenges earlier a new thanwe at least to the the individual

05:23.940 --> 05:28.020
players and that come out and andparticipate always come away

05:28.410 --> 05:31.340
of learning a little bit more abouttheir and their sister service

05:31.610 --> 05:34.970
and then they did before and andthis was in no different in

05:34.970 --> 05:37.890
that respect we we all I think cameaway with some really good

05:37.890 --> 05:41.510
lessons and the mother said hopefullywe'll be able to incorporate.

05:42.140 --> 05:45.800
Not just for the next lecture size.But that whenever we would

05:45.800 --> 05:46.460
be asked.

05:47.130 --> 05:50.530
To perform this for real world operation.

05:52.140 --> 05:56.300
Have to buy recommendations to toanyone participating in future.

05:56.300 --> 05:57.340
Joe axes.

05:58.080 --> 06:02.340
Would be do as much research asyou can look through that the

06:02.340 --> 06:05.800
lessons learned our lessons observedbut not necessarily learned.

06:06.520 --> 06:11.110
From previous exercises a travelor as much about the folks that

06:11.110 --> 06:13.890
you're gonna be working with ballfrom me at the air force and

06:13.890 --> 06:18.390
the army side and cultivate thoserelationships both before during

06:18.390 --> 06:23.130
the planning process and Duringthe execution and a by doing

06:23.130 --> 06:26.800
that you would least build on thefoundations that that we have

06:26.800 --> 06:30.560
from here and what will hopefullybuild on over the next couple

06:30.560 --> 06:32.700
weeks as we capture are lessons learned..
