00:04.340 --> 00:08.510
Welcome

00:08.510 --> 00:10.566
to around the Air Force . I'm Airman

00:10.566 --> 00:12.454
First Class Roddy AARP exercise ,

00:12.454 --> 00:14.510
Commando sling and air to air combat

00:14.510 --> 00:16.510
training exercise in the skies over

00:16.510 --> 00:18.843
Singapore is in full throttle this week ,

00:18.843 --> 00:20.954
Senior Airman Daniel Mckittrick takes

00:20.954 --> 00:22.954
us inside the exercise and shows us

00:22.954 --> 00:24.954
what it's all about . The estimated

00:24.954 --> 00:27.121
time of departure for the morning runs

00:27.121 --> 00:28.954
is between 8 15 and nine o'clock

00:28.954 --> 00:31.370
briefings for the day , start at 06 30

00:31.650 --> 00:34.740
airmanship ready to work around 05 45 .

00:34.750 --> 00:36.639
It's on the beginning of a day at

00:36.639 --> 00:39.520
exercise commando sling . Well , the

00:39.520 --> 00:41.631
commando sling is primarily an air to

00:41.631 --> 00:43.742
air combat exercise where we have the

00:43.742 --> 00:45.964
opportunity to fly with pilots from the

00:45.964 --> 00:48.580
Royal Singapore , Air Force against and

00:48.580 --> 00:52.030
with their F five and there ? S 16 in

00:52.030 --> 00:53.919
earlier combat from basic fighter

00:53.919 --> 00:56.086
maneuvers , one versus one all the way

00:56.086 --> 00:58.086
to the full spectrum of four versus

00:58.086 --> 01:01.870
four climbing

01:01.870 --> 01:03.981
with and against the F five gives the

01:03.981 --> 01:06.037
18th fighter squadron out of Eielson

01:06.037 --> 01:08.203
Air Force Base Alaska , a new plane to

01:08.203 --> 01:10.080
practice against and just being

01:10.080 --> 01:11.969
deployed to another environment ,

01:11.969 --> 01:14.136
enhances the training as well . But no

01:14.136 --> 01:15.950
matter what's below the goal of

01:15.950 --> 01:17.980
commando sling is in the air to air

01:17.980 --> 01:19.869
combat training , which different

01:19.869 --> 01:21.924
combat scenarios are helping to meet

01:22.140 --> 01:24.260
the training scenarios like I said ,

01:24.260 --> 01:26.204
are basically one versus one basic

01:26.204 --> 01:28.300
fighter maneuvers . Uh We're flying

01:28.300 --> 01:30.022
some two versus one air combat

01:30.022 --> 01:32.170
manoeuvres . And this week we're our

01:32.180 --> 01:34.410
final week , we're flying four versus

01:34.410 --> 01:36.521
for Air combat tactics , a little bit

01:36.521 --> 01:39.110
more advanced other scenarios are two

01:39.110 --> 01:41.166
of our airplanes and through there's

01:41.166 --> 01:43.320
against two bars and two of their so

01:43.320 --> 01:45.487
some mixed forest employment as well ,

01:45.487 --> 01:48.380
though the day can start around 05 45

01:48.380 --> 01:50.560
and go until after dark . The end

01:50.560 --> 01:52.727
result of the day at commando Sling is

01:52.727 --> 01:55.090
a stronger alliance and a safer pacific

01:55.090 --> 01:56.757
region . Senior Airman Daniel
