00:06.940 --> 00:09.162
many deployed troops spend time outside

00:09.162 --> 00:11.218
the wire , but one group of anaconda

00:11.218 --> 00:13.384
warriors from the 12 or third engineer

00:13.384 --> 00:15.384
Battalion get a huge milestone in a

00:15.384 --> 00:17.329
short amount of time . This is 101

00:17.329 --> 00:19.150
mission today . Uh We have also

00:19.150 --> 00:22.110
completed 21 of these ahh missions

00:22.120 --> 00:24.287
along with other duties . We have gone

00:24.287 --> 00:26.398
for north as spots partner and as far

00:26.398 --> 00:28.231
south as bahsrah . This personal

00:28.231 --> 00:30.176
security detachment completed many

00:30.176 --> 00:31.953
missions , humanitarian aid and

00:31.953 --> 00:33.731
tactical . Just to name a few .

00:33.731 --> 00:35.842
Lieutenant Perkins knows who deserves

00:35.842 --> 00:37.842
the credit for the success of these

00:37.842 --> 00:39.898
missions . It's a soldier and we all

00:39.898 --> 00:39.580
went in together and we come back

00:39.580 --> 00:41.860
together once they get back black out

00:41.860 --> 00:43.804
there ready for the next mission ,

00:43.804 --> 00:45.582
completing over 100 missions is

00:45.582 --> 00:47.638
impressive because the unit has only

00:47.638 --> 00:49.693
been in country for several months ,

00:49.693 --> 00:51.693
the first of which was training but

00:51.693 --> 00:53.693
just completing the mission is only

00:53.693 --> 00:55.749
half the story . Corporal cory James

00:55.749 --> 00:55.320
explains the other half of their

00:55.320 --> 00:57.590
success after 100 missions . The most

00:57.590 --> 00:59.812
important thing about being safe is not

00:59.812 --> 01:01.812
getting complacent . We haven't had

01:01.812 --> 01:03.870
anybody injured . It's just a good

01:03.870 --> 01:05.930
thing to be safe and just staying

01:05.940 --> 01:08.107
focused on your main job and that's to

01:08.107 --> 01:09.996
keep everybody safe and make sure

01:09.996 --> 01:12.162
everybody comes back inside the wire .

01:12.162 --> 01:14.273
The 12 3rd has reached this milestone

01:14.273 --> 01:16.329
with no intent of slowing down until

01:16.329 --> 01:18.496
their replacements get here . I'm Army
