00:06.360 --> 00:08.527
(gunfire)

00:08.570 --> 00:10.000
- [Voiceover] Small arms fire, and.

00:10.000 --> 00:12.290
- [Voiceover] The possible IED.

00:12.290 --> 00:14.203
- [Voiceover] Just a few things that you might encounter in

00:14.203 --> 00:15.820
a convoy while deployed.

00:15.820 --> 00:18.448
To keep their airmen on their toes, the 86th vehicle

00:18.448 --> 00:20.765
readiness squadron conducts routine CORT.

00:20.765 --> 00:23.820
- It was Contingency Operational Readiness Training.

00:23.820 --> 00:27.147
CORT training, it's basically our version of our combat

00:27.147 --> 00:29.028
training, what we do on our deployments.

00:29.028 --> 00:31.136
We just trace our line haul mission.

00:31.136 --> 00:33.993
Even though deployments are slowing down, the 86th VRS

00:33.993 --> 00:35.651
isn't letting their guard down.

00:35.651 --> 00:37.692
They conduct training very frequently.

00:37.692 --> 00:38.529
- You do it once a month.

00:38.529 --> 00:41.082
In the classroom, we go over TTPs, different types

00:41.082 --> 00:43.197
of scenarios, different types of drills.

00:43.197 --> 00:44.317
And then, we try to go out.

00:44.317 --> 00:46.383
And as it progresses, that's when we get out and do walking

00:46.383 --> 00:48.038
drills, driving drills.

00:48.038 --> 00:49.452
But out here today, everybody did amazing.

00:49.452 --> 00:50.670
We did an awesome job.

00:50.670 --> 00:51.974
I'm proud of all of our guys.

00:51.974 --> 00:53.687
- [Voiceover] Doing this kind of training, often, has made

00:53.687 --> 00:56.397
an impression on some of the lower unlisted airmen.

00:56.397 --> 00:58.960
- Even if people don't go through convoys, it's not on their

00:58.960 --> 01:00.928
job description, their critical's never done that,

01:00.928 --> 01:03.290
I highly suggest going through training 'cause you never

01:03.290 --> 01:04.210
know what's gonna happen.

01:04.210 --> 01:06.387
You never know what position you're gonna get thrown into

01:06.387 --> 01:07.376
when you deploy.

01:07.376 --> 01:09.618
So, it's always good to have it just in case.

01:09.618 --> 01:11.785
(yelling)

01:13.052 --> 01:14.493
- [Soft Hat] Slow and careful.

01:14.493 --> 01:16.256
- [Voiceover] Because of this training and execution

01:16.256 --> 01:19.150
of the drills, the comradery in the unit is high.

01:19.150 --> 01:21.429
- I would be happy to deploy with any of these people

01:21.429 --> 01:24.124
out here today 'cause I know they would have my back.

01:24.124 --> 01:25.727
They've been through the same training I have, and they're

01:25.727 --> 01:27.372
putting just as much effort as I am.

01:27.372 --> 01:28.205
(gunfire)

01:28.205 --> 01:32.372
- I'm Army Sergeant Cory Leatherman, Baumholder, Germany.
