00:04.040 --> 00:10.050
Hello

00:10.050 --> 00:12.050
and welcome to around the Air Force

00:12.050 --> 00:13.828
because of operational security

00:13.828 --> 00:15.439
pararescue men from the 48th

00:15.439 --> 00:17.550
expeditionary rescue squadron . Can't

00:17.550 --> 00:19.883
tell us exactly why they're in Djibouti .

00:19.883 --> 00:22.106
The tech sergeant rene Chrysostomos can

00:22.106 --> 00:24.700
show us some of what they do even at a

00:24.700 --> 00:26.811
deployed location . Pararescue men or

00:26.811 --> 00:29.510
PJS train for real world mission . We

00:29.510 --> 00:31.454
practice jumps scenarios that ever

00:31.454 --> 00:33.454
given opportunity , so that will be

00:33.454 --> 00:35.399
proficient whenever the real world

00:35.399 --> 00:37.510
mission comes from . In this training

00:37.510 --> 00:37.400
scenario , the pararescue team must

00:37.400 --> 00:39.511
recover an injured service members in

00:39.511 --> 00:41.400
an unknown area since their lives

00:41.400 --> 00:43.456
depend on functional equipment . The

00:43.456 --> 00:45.567
PJs make final checks with each other

00:45.567 --> 00:47.678
before each mission and as quickly as

00:47.678 --> 00:49.400
they board the aircraft , they

00:49.400 --> 00:51.344
disappear into the air . Parachute

00:51.344 --> 00:53.456
jumping in this area is ideal because

00:53.456 --> 00:55.344
it gives the P . J . A variety of

00:55.344 --> 00:57.567
surroundings to work with . Djibouti is

00:57.567 --> 00:59.733
a great the fluid environment to train

00:59.733 --> 01:03.090
in . We have the sea mountains , open

01:03.100 --> 01:05.470
areas for different types of tactical

01:05.470 --> 01:07.500
movements on the ground . The PJ

01:07.510 --> 01:09.566
cautiously make the movement to find

01:09.566 --> 01:11.566
the injured airman . Once they make

01:11.566 --> 01:13.566
contact , their training session is

01:13.566 --> 01:15.399
almost complete . But first they

01:15.399 --> 01:17.510
provide medical care before moving to

01:17.510 --> 01:19.399
an evacuation site , successfully

01:19.399 --> 01:21.454
recovering the downed aircrew member

01:21.454 --> 01:23.454
completes this training session and

01:23.454 --> 01:25.566
better prepare the P . J . For a real

01:25.566 --> 01:25.210
mission check . Sergeant Rene

01:25.210 --> 01:27.488
Chrysostomos Camp Lemonnier , Djibouti ,

01:28.640 --> 01:30.584
over in the pacific pararescue men

01:30.584 --> 01:32.807
stationed in Okinawa conduct search and

01:32.807 --> 01:34.900
rescue exercises once a month by its

01:34.900 --> 01:36.956
corporal Todd Hunter takes us to the

01:36.956 --> 01:39.400
latest this Green Sea die is leading to

01:39.400 --> 01:41.622
a group of airmen simulating an injured

01:41.622 --> 01:43.400
crew of survivors from a downed

01:43.400 --> 01:45.344
aircraft . We're gonna have a mass

01:45.344 --> 01:47.511
casualty uh exercise which means we've

01:47.511 --> 01:49.733
got about 10 patients that went down in

01:49.733 --> 01:51.622
some form of aircraft and they're

01:51.622 --> 01:53.400
closing in the water was in the

01:53.400 --> 01:55.400
survival equipment . Group waits as

01:55.400 --> 01:57.456
pararescue men aboard a C 1 30 check

01:57.456 --> 01:59.456
their year just before making their

01:59.456 --> 02:01.456
jump along with two reigns packages

02:01.456 --> 02:03.400
basically it's just rubber raiding

02:03.400 --> 02:05.400
craft that's been folded up with an

02:05.400 --> 02:07.233
engine and fuel and have all the

02:07.233 --> 02:09.400
medical equipment that we have bundled

02:09.400 --> 02:11.456
down and we have two parachutes on .

02:11.456 --> 02:14.330
Everybody else wants the pair rescue

02:14.330 --> 02:16.552
and reach their injured comrades . They

02:16.552 --> 02:18.497
set up a triage and call for hello

02:18.497 --> 02:20.719
evacuations to move the more critically

02:20.719 --> 02:22.774
injured patients . First helicopters

02:22.774 --> 02:24.886
usually take a lot longer time to get

02:24.886 --> 02:26.941
out to a scenario like this and they

02:26.941 --> 02:29.052
actually C one thirties so it's gonna

02:29.052 --> 02:28.770
be quite a bit of time on the ground .

02:28.770 --> 02:30.714
And these guys have just to manage

02:30.714 --> 02:32.937
their just do the triage , manage their

02:32.937 --> 02:35.048
patients , manage the wounds , try to

02:35.048 --> 02:37.048
get them packaged and ready for the

02:37.048 --> 02:39.270
expo as daylight fades . The Blackhawks

02:39.270 --> 02:41.437
transport the survivors who joint drop

02:41.437 --> 02:43.548
off zone . Medical personnel can load

02:43.548 --> 02:46.090
the patients into a C 1 30 quickly move

02:46.090 --> 02:49.220
them to a medical facility exercises

02:49.220 --> 02:51.410
like these prove cadena pararescue men

02:51.410 --> 02:53.700
live up to their motto that others may

02:53.700 --> 02:56.370
live . Lance corporal Todd Hunter ,

learn about the lie enlisted

03:07.322 --> 03:09.322
development plan , A new roll calls

03:09.322 --> 03:11.690
posted every friday . A lot of airmen

03:11.690 --> 03:13.912
stationed overseas were unable to spend

03:13.912 --> 03:15.912
the holidays with their friends and

03:15.912 --> 03:17.968
loved ones this year . Petty officer

03:17.968 --> 03:19.857
Jason second shows us how several

03:19.857 --> 03:21.857
thoughtful NCL's assured airman far

03:21.857 --> 03:24.190
from home , enjoy the family atmosphere ,

03:24.190 --> 03:26.301
camaraderie home cooked feast and the

03:26.301 --> 03:28.412
word of banks . Some would call it an

03:28.412 --> 03:30.579
ideal family holiday celebration . But

03:30.579 --> 03:32.579
for airmen like martina smith whose

03:32.579 --> 03:34.690
family is not here getting adopted is

03:34.690 --> 03:36.912
more fun than being in the dorms . If I

03:36.912 --> 03:39.134
was in the dorm , probably either would

03:39.134 --> 03:41.023
have been in my room watching old

03:41.023 --> 03:43.400
movies or around my friends and things

03:43.400 --> 03:45.400
like that , but it's easier to come

03:45.400 --> 03:47.980
here . Um basically you know everybody

03:47.980 --> 03:50.202
here and everybody knows me and it just

03:50.202 --> 03:52.369
feels like a home . Her staff sergeant

03:52.369 --> 03:54.540
Keller Griffin , this is home and she

03:54.540 --> 03:56.762
loves the chance to extend it to single

03:56.762 --> 03:58.651
junior airman through the adopted

03:58.651 --> 04:00.818
airman program . It's just a wonderful

04:00.818 --> 04:04.330
feeling . Um , to know that their , you

04:04.330 --> 04:06.390
know , with another family and other

04:06.390 --> 04:09.150
family members . Um that's what's

04:09.150 --> 04:11.190
important to me . So important .

04:11.190 --> 04:13.412
Sergeant Keller Griffin said she'd cook

04:13.412 --> 04:15.412
for her junior airman anytime , not

04:15.412 --> 04:17.468
just the holidays , something airman

04:17.468 --> 04:19.690
smith appreciates . It's much easier to

04:19.690 --> 04:21.634
know that you have people who care

04:21.634 --> 04:23.801
enough to invite you over and to treat

04:23.801 --> 04:25.857
you like your family . The officer ,
