My name is Cpl. Donald Harmon

00:25.672 --> 00:28.085
CBRN Defense Specialist with 1st Marine Aircraft Wing

00:28.338 --> 00:33.055
This week we've been training with the ROK US Air Force Forward Osan Airbase South Korea

00:33.198 --> 00:36.526
Today we were doing the RFT or the Responders Fitness Test

00:36.966 --> 00:46.725
The IC's or Incident Commanders can get a reasonable amount of time you can be on air and how much air you waste doing intense activities while in the Hazmat suit

00:50.917 --> 00:53.042
There were four stations that we completed

00:53.284 --> 00:55.326
One is the 880 yard response

00:56.204 --> 00:59.414
and then after that we did a 300 yard casualty drag

01:00.045 --> 01:04.933
with a mitigation dam, dyke and divert, so we can stop any of the hazmat spills

01:05.510 --> 01:11.578
and then we concluded that with our man down procedures in case one of the responders went down, down range and we can get them back to the Decon Line

01:13.025 --> 01:22.075
The RFT score is determined by the amount of time it took your team to complete the course and then the amount of air each of your team members expended during the course

01:22.552 --> 01:27.233
They divide that and they get air used per minute and that is your score for the RFT

01:30.259 --> 01:35.608
Training with the Air Force, most of them had the same knowledge base as us

01:36.465 --> 01:40.337
since the Marine Corps is an expeditionary force and their more a station side force

01:40.424 --> 01:45.064
so we can learn how they would work on an airstrip and then they learn how we work in an expeditionary setting

01:49.061 --> 01:51.435
This is my first time working with the Marines

01:51.608 --> 01:56.361
and a lot of it we learned that we don't have a whole lot of difference between us

01:58.572 --> 02:01.694
with the way we run our workshops and the way we do our jobs

02:02.272 --> 02:11.336
but it was different seeing the camaraderie between them and a lot of it was there and they knew each other very well, so that was pretty cool to see how they got along together

02:12.368 --> 02:16.548
I was impressed with how well that we all worked together and cheered for one another
