WEBVTT 00:07.552 --> 00:15.595 Michael Moore, M-I-C-H-A-E-L M-O-O-R-E. And you rank and job title? 00:15.957 --> 00:20.288 TSGT Michael Moore, squad leader with the 152nd Security Forces. 00:20.288 --> 00:25.429 And what town are you from? Reno, Nevada. 00:25.664 --> 00:28.544 All right, I am going to stand over here and have you look at me. 00:29.914 --> 00:32.811 From Reno, how many times have you been to Vegas? 00:34.082 --> 00:39.595 It is my second trip, actually, second trip, first time actually working down 00:39.829 --> 00:42.475 here though. What's it been like? 00:43.360 --> 00:48.811 We had a little bit of rough start 24 hours up straight, but submission you roll 00:49.016 --> 00:49.963 with it. 00:50.679 --> 00:53.995 What is the morale like for some of the soldiers? 00:55.522 --> 01:00.779 We are keeping motivated you know it is a new environment trying to keep everybody 01:01.120 --> 01:03.851 focused on what we are doing. 01:04.782 --> 01:07.568 Tomorrow should be a little bit busier than what we have been dealing with the 01:07.701 --> 01:11.071 last couple of days because it is New Year's so. 01:11.168 --> 01:14.560 What percentage of your men, have done this mission before? 01:14.942 --> 01:21.429 About 50%, we just had a new crop of troops come in the unit so we got a new 01:21.932 --> 01:28.875 that are new to operational work. What are some of the advantages from 01:28.989 --> 01:32.779 a leadership perspective to having folks in a new environment especially one is the 01:32.864 --> 01:34.592 hand against this? 01:35.031 --> 01:39.199 It is just building your experience level. Everybody has a walks that they are going 01:39.333 --> 01:43.083 to work on. I mean now that somebody has come down 01:43.232 --> 01:46.306 here and worked out with the public they are going to be able to draw in this 01:46.624 --> 01:51.637 experience next year. We come down here again and especially 01:51.637 --> 01:54.603 with the op tempo that we have been dealing with the guard and the last couple 01:54.715 --> 01:59.765 of years this will actually be a good training event. 02:00.971 --> 02:03.392 Do you afford to doing this in the future? 02:04.194 --> 02:07.094 I do. It has been nice working with Las Vegas 02:07.227 --> 02:09.515 Metro and my counterparts over at the Army Guard. 02:09.749 --> 02:13.233 I have got some good buddies around the Army side so it is nice to be able to work 02:13.504 --> 02:16.021 with them on a more regular basis. 02:16.333 --> 02:19.413 How is the communication? What is communication in like between the 02:19.456 --> 02:21.775 two branches and also Las Vegas Metro? 02:23.053 --> 02:26.603 Flawless. I mean it - I don't know if it is just 02:26.713 --> 02:31.893 a safe thing or what not, but whenever us and the MP units are together we tend to 02:32.021 --> 02:36.672 melt pretty well, pretty quick together. Like I said we have got some friends on 02:36.693 --> 02:43.597 the other side and honestly we have had some - transfers on as well so it just 02:43.819 --> 02:48.683 makes it easier to make them - if you know somebody that makes it easier to work with them. 02:49.314 --> 02:53.931 So you can obviously meet a lot of people here this weekend, how would that help 02:54.165 --> 02:58.311 prepare you in case of a National Emergency or a National Disaster? 02:58.594 --> 03:04.235 it is - you got to know everybody's limitations and that is just the bottom 03:04.251 --> 03:08.736 line limitations and experience levels. 03:09.090 --> 03:11.701 You know obviously you are not going to put on a brand new private or airman out 03:11.851 --> 03:16.352 on the post without any real world experience so knowing who we can count on 03:16.496 --> 03:22.325 to make things happen that is really crucial with missions like this. 03:22.914 --> 03:26.336 Are you guys having fun? Just piles of it. 03:28.546 --> 03:32.693 What do you think the most valuable lesson your airman takeaway from this is? 03:34.242 --> 03:42.208 To be perfectly honest with you operational flexibility it is one of the 03:42.208 --> 03:45.600 most treasured attributes in the U.S Military is you have got to be flexible 03:45.625 --> 03:49.329 with your new environment and be able to work to make things happen. 03:49.513 --> 03:54.880 So above all else it is just operational flexibility.
