00:10.570 --> 00:14.300
>> ON THIS EPISODE OF 
"IN THE FIGHT"...

00:14.300 --> 00:17.420
THE AIR FORCE COMBINES LIVE 
TRAINING AND VIRTUAL TRAINING

00:17.420 --> 00:22.570
INTO ONE MAJOR EXERCISE...
SERVICE MEMBERS RIDE HOME FROM

00:22.570 --> 00:25.510
OPERATION ATLANTIC RESOLVE IN 
THE LONGEST CONVOY SINCE

00:25.510 --> 00:30.120
WORLD WAR II... 
GLOBAL STRIKE COMMAND TRAINS FOR

00:30.120 --> 00:34.540
NUCLEAR DETERRENCE... 
THE CALIFORNIA NATIONAL GUARD

00:34.540 --> 00:39.510
GEARS UP FOR WILDFIRE SEASON... 
AND CIVIL AFFAIRS SOLDIERS IN

00:39.510 --> 00:43.330
DJIBOUTI MAKE SURE LOCAL KIDS 
GET A KICK OUT OF SOCCER.

01:25.060 --> 01:28.570
SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR,
U.S. FORCES IN AFGHANISTAN HAVE

01:28.570 --> 01:32.000
TAKEN A STEP BACK FROM LEADING
COMBAT OPERATIONS AND FOCUSED

01:32.000 --> 01:35.240
MORE ON TRAINING AND ADVISING.
NATOCHANNEL CORRESPONDENT

01:35.240 --> 01:38.480
LAURENCE CAMERON CHECKED IN WITH
A FEW OF THESE SOLDIER ADVISORS

01:38.480 --> 01:43.510
DURING THIS TRANSITION PHASE AND
TELLS US HOW IT'S GOING.

01:43.600 --> 01:47.240
>> EASTERN AFGHANISTAN, 2015, 
AND THE AFGHAN SOLDIERS

01:47.240 --> 01:51.390
OPERATING HERE ARE FACING A NEW 
COMBAT REALITY WITHOUT THE BULK

01:51.390 --> 01:53.750
OF THE MILITARY SUPPORT THEY
PREVIOUSLY ENJOYED FROM THEIR

01:53.750 --> 01:56.630
INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS. 
AS NATO-LED FORCES HAVE

01:56.630 --> 01:59.480
TRANSITIONED TO THEIR NEW ROLE
UNDER THE RESOLUTE SUPPORT

01:59.480 --> 02:02.420
MISSION, THEIR COMBAT OPERATIONS
MAY HAVE CEASED, BUT THEIR

02:02.420 --> 02:06.090
TRAINING AND MENTORING OF THE 
AFGHAN ARMY CONTINUES.

02:06.090 --> 02:09.150
BRANDY BAZEMORE IS A
U.S. ARMY ENGINEER ADVISING THE

02:09.150 --> 02:11.390
201st AFGHAN ARMY CORPS.

02:11.480 --> 02:14.840
>> I FIND THEM TO BE VERY 
RECEPTIVE TO THE ADVISING THAT I

02:14.840 --> 02:17.120
DO. 
I LOOK AT IT MORE AS, "WE'RE A

02:17.120 --> 02:19.720
TEAM."
SO I LEARN FROM THEM, AND THEY

02:19.720 --> 02:24.030
LEARN FROM ME, AND I FIND IT TO 
ACTUALLY WORK OUT VERY WELL.

02:24.120 --> 02:26.840
WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR
EXPEDITIONARY ENGINEERING,

02:26.840 --> 02:30.180
THEY'RE ACTUALLY VERY GOOD AT 
WHAT THEY DO, SO THEY REQUIRE

02:30.180 --> 02:33.780
VERY LITTLE HELP FROM ME. 
IT'S MORE JUST US BUILDING THAT

02:33.780 --> 02:37.240
RELATIONSHIP AND WORKING
TOGETHER AND KNOWING THAT WE'RE

02:37.240 --> 02:40.540
THERE TO HELP, IS MOSTLY THE
ROLE THAT WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW.

02:40.540 --> 02:44.150
I THINK THEY UNDERSTAND HOW TO
FIGHT.

02:44.150 --> 02:47.840
THEY UNDERSTAND HOW TO BE OUT IN
COMBAT.

02:47.840 --> 02:51.090
SOME OF THE TECHNOLOGY IS 
SOMETHING THAT THEY'RE NOT AS

02:51.090 --> 02:54.330
FAMILIAR WITH, AND I THINK
THAT'S REALLY WHERE WE COME IN

02:54.330 --> 02:56.360
AND WE'RE ABLE TO HELP A.N.A. 
OUT.

02:56.360 --> 02:58.660
>> [ SPEAKING NATIVE LANGUAGE ] 
>> GOOD TEAM. THANK YOU.

02:58.660 --> 03:01.510
>> MAJOR ERIC LIGHTFOOT IS
ANOTHER SOLDIER WHO WORKS VERY

03:01.510 --> 03:04.600
CLOSELY WITH THE AFGHAN ARMY AND
IS AWARE THAT WHILE MUCH HAS

03:04.600 --> 03:07.480
BEEN ACHIEVED, THERE IS STILL 
IMPORTANT WORK TO BE DONE AS

03:07.480 --> 03:09.270
PART OF THE NEW MISSION.

03:09.360 --> 03:12.300
>> THE AFGHANS STILL NEED OUR 
HELP FOR A COUPLE OF REASONS.

03:12.300 --> 03:17.150
THEY HAVE COME A LONG WAY, BUT
THEY STILL HAVE A WAYS TO GO.

03:17.150 --> 03:19.360
THEY'RE MAKING GREAT STRIDES
EVERY DAY.

03:19.360 --> 03:22.060
THEY ARE TAKING THE FIGHT TO THE
ENEMY.

03:22.150 --> 03:25.450
AND WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THE 
TRAINING ADVISOR ASSISTS IS

03:25.450 --> 03:29.060
WE'RE TAKING THEM THAT LAST 
LITTLE BIT THAT THEY NEED TO GO.

03:29.060 --> 03:32.390
>> IN THE PAST, THE AFGHAN ARMY 
RELIED HEAVILY ON COALITION

03:32.390 --> 03:34.840
AIR SUPPORT.
TODAY, THE AFGHAN ARMY'S OWN

03:34.840 --> 03:38.330
ARTILLERY UNITS, AS WELL AS ITS 
FLEDGLING AIR FORCE, HAVE TO

03:38.330 --> 03:41.150
PROVIDE INDIRECT FIRE.
A NEW GENERATION OF AFGHAN

03:41.150 --> 03:43.330
PILOTS ARE CURRENTLY BEING
TRAINED, AND THE

03:43.330 --> 03:46.150
AFGHAN AIR FORCE IS EXPECTING 
DELIVERY OF SEVERAL NEW AIR

03:46.150 --> 03:50.240
ASSETS IN THE FUTURE. 
>> BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE TALKING

03:50.240 --> 03:54.660
ABOUT WAS THE HOW TO ATTACK THE 
ENEMY WITH ALL THE ASSETS THAT

03:54.660 --> 03:58.420
YOU HAVE -- WITH THE
AFGHAN ARTILLERY, WHETHER IT BE

03:58.420 --> 04:02.330
COALITION AIRCRAFT OR 
AFGHAN MI-17 AIRCRAFT, TO BE

04:02.330 --> 04:06.270
ABLE TO USE ALL OF THOSE ASSETS 
SIMULTANEOUSLY.

04:06.270 --> 04:09.510
THEY CAN FIRE THE ROUNDS FROM 
THE GROUND AND THEY CAN FIRE THE

04:09.510 --> 04:12.630
FIXED-WING AIRCRAFT AND THE 
ROTARY-WING AIRCRAFT ALL AT THE

04:12.630 --> 04:16.540
SAME TIME TO ATTACK AND DEFEAT
THE ENEMIES OF AFGHANISTAN.

04:16.540 --> 04:18.510
>> FOR NATOCHANNEL IN 
NANGARHAR, THIS IS

04:18.510 --> 04:23.210
LAURENCE CAMERON.

04:23.300 --> 04:26.180
>> VIRTUAL TRAINING IS AN 
INCREASINGLY EFFECTIVE AND

04:26.180 --> 04:29.240
EFFICIENT MEANS FOR TROOPS TO 
GAIN REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE

04:29.240 --> 04:32.180
AROUND THE GLOBE. 
COMBINING VIRTUAL TRAINING WITH

04:32.180 --> 04:35.630
THE AIR FORCE'S LARGEST ANNUAL
LIVE EXERCISE OPENS UP A WHOLE

04:35.630 --> 04:39.810
NEW LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE,
COOPERATION, AND PARTICIPATION.

04:39.810 --> 04:44.420
AIRMAN FIRST CLASS TAYLOR WEST
BRINGS US THIS STORY.

04:44.510 --> 04:48.330
>> RED FLAG HAS BEEN AN ELITE 
TRAINING EVENT FOR 40 YEARS, AND

04:48.330 --> 04:51.870
NOW WITH THE SECOND RED FLAG OF 
2015, WAR FIGHTERS WILL BE

04:51.870 --> 04:55.000
EXPERIENCING A WHOLE NEW LEVEL
OF TRAINING.

04:55.090 --> 04:58.240
>> GENERAL WELSH HAS A VISION OF
WHERE LIVE VIRTUAL CONSTRUCTIVE

04:58.240 --> 05:01.090
TRAINING SHOULD GO FOR THE
AIR FORCE, AND WE LOOKED AT IT

05:01.090 --> 05:04.060
AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US WITHIN 
THE U.S. AIR FORCE WARFARE

05:04.060 --> 05:06.630
CENTER TO GET AFTER 
GENERAL WELSH'S VISION BY

05:06.630 --> 05:10.060
COMBINING THE WORLD'S PREMIERE
LIVE TRAINING EXERCISE, WHICH IS

05:10.060 --> 05:13.720
RED FLAG, WHICH OCCURS AT THE 
TACTICAL AND OPERATIONAL LEVEL,

05:13.720 --> 05:18.510
WITH ARGUABLY THE AIR FORCE'S 
BEST VIRTUAL TRAINING, WHICH IS

05:18.510 --> 05:20.450
VIRTUAL FLAG.

05:21.120 --> 05:24.090
>> LIVE TRAINING MEANS JUST WHAT
IT SOUNDS LIKE -- AIRCRAFT

05:24.090 --> 05:26.840
PHYSICALLY FLYING OVER THE
AIRSPACE GOING THROUGH THEIR

05:26.840 --> 05:29.360
MISSIONS. 
VIRTUAL TRAINING MEANS SIMULATED

05:29.360 --> 05:32.120
MISSIONS AND THREATS. 
THESE VIRTUAL PLAYERS ARE

05:32.120 --> 05:34.630
INTEGRATING INTO RED FLAG 
WITH THE HELP OF

05:34.630 --> 05:37.840
KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE.
THE IMPORTANCE OF VIRTUAL

05:37.840 --> 05:41.600
INTEGRATION IS THAT RED FLAG CAN
NOW PROVIDE WAR FIGHTERS WITH

05:41.600 --> 05:44.570
SIMULATED AIRCRAFT PARTICIPATION
FROM ALL CORNERS OF

05:44.570 --> 05:47.450
THE UNITED STATES.
>> THE BEST WAY THAT I'VE HEARD

05:47.450 --> 05:50.150
IT EXPLAINED -- IT'S SORT OF
LIKE AN Xbox ONE IN THE SENSE

05:50.150 --> 05:52.660
THAT IF THEY'RE THERE IN
KIRTLAND, THEY HAVE THE ABILITY

05:52.660 --> 05:55.480
TO HOOK UP WITH ARGUABLY ANYONE 
THAT THEY WANT THROUGHOUT THE

05:55.480 --> 05:59.030
ENTIRE WORLD. 
>> COMBINING RED FLAG AND

05:59.030 --> 06:02.120
VIRTUAL FLAG -- A CONCEPT FROM
ABOUT A YEAR AGO -- CREATES A

06:02.120 --> 06:05.240
CONSTRUCTIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL
PLAYERS FROM PARTICIPATING

06:05.240 --> 06:08.150
BASES.
THE PLAN FOR THE FUTURE IS UNITS

06:08.150 --> 06:11.540
THAT MAY NOT HAVE THE FUNDS OR
THE MANPOWER TO ATTEND RED FLAG

06:11.540 --> 06:14.390
CAN STILL JOIN THE FIGHT
VIRTUALLY AND RECEIVE THE

06:14.390 --> 06:16.540
TRAINING. 
>> WHAT STARTED WITH 20, 30, 40

06:16.540 --> 06:19.480
WAR FIGHTERS EVENTUALLY ENDS UP 
WITH TODAY, WHICH WE'VE GOT

06:19.480 --> 06:22.120
ROUGHLY 400 WAR FIGHTERS ACROSS 
THE CONE AS THEY'RE

06:22.120 --> 06:25.030
PARTICIPATING, WITH A COUPLE
HUNDRED BEING AT KIRTLAND AND

06:25.030 --> 06:27.510
THE OTHER COUPLE HUNDRED BEING
THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE

06:27.510 --> 06:31.270
CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES.
>> THIS CHANGE TO RED FLAG HAS

06:31.270 --> 06:33.420
THE POTENTIAL TO IMPACT MUCH
MORE THAN JUST

06:33.420 --> 06:36.600
NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE.
THE HOPE IS FOR THIS EXERCISE TO

06:36.600 --> 06:39.660
GROW INTO AN EVENT THAT THE 
WHOLE WORLD COULD PARTICIPATE

06:39.660 --> 06:42.630
IN, GIVING ALLIED FORCES THE
CHANCE TO CONNECT OVER THE

06:42.630 --> 06:46.480

INVOLVED U.S. TROOPS SPREAD

06:54.000 --> 06:56.750
ACROSS SEVERAL COUNTRIES
THROUGHOUT EASTERN EUROPE.

06:56.750 --> 06:59.690
GETTING ALL THESE TROOPS AND
GEAR BACK TO GERMANY CREATED THE

06:59.690 --> 07:02.240
LONGEST CONVOY SINCE
WORLD WAR II.

07:02.240 --> 07:05.450
ARMY SERGEANT JOSIAH DIXON
TALKED TO A FEW TROOPS DURING

07:05.450 --> 07:10.090
THE HOMESTRETCH AND FILES THIS
REPORT.

07:10.180 --> 07:13.420

VEHICLES MADE THE 
1,836-KILOMETER TREK, CROSSING

07:23.870 --> 07:26.540
FIVE INTERNATIONAL BORDERS. 
ALONG THE ROUTE, SOLDIERS WERE

07:26.540 --> 07:29.120
MET WITH ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORT 
FROM LOCALS.

07:29.210 --> 07:32.030
>> I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT IT 
WOULD BE A 1,000-MILE PARADE, IN

07:32.030 --> 07:34.690
THE SENSE THAT EVERY TIME WE GO 
THROUGH A TOWN, PEOPLE ARE

07:34.690 --> 07:36.510
WAVING. 
THEY'VE GOT AMERICAN FLAGS.

07:36.510 --> 07:37.750
IT'S SURREAL.

07:37.840 --> 07:41.060
>> AFTER TRAVELING MOST OF THE
ROUTE IN THREE SEPARATE GROUPS,

07:41.060 --> 07:44.000
THE UNIT REUNITED IN PRAGUE,
CZECH REPUBLIC, BEFORE MAKING

07:44.000 --> 07:47.300
THE FINAL LEG OF THE TRIP HOME. 
DRAGOON RIDE WAS THE LONGEST

07:47.300 --> 07:50.600
CONVOY SINCE WORLD WAR II AND AN
EXPERIENCE THE SOLDIERS WILL

07:50.600 --> 07:51.570
NEVER FORGET.

07:51.660 --> 07:54.540
>> THIS IS MY FIRST-EVER LONG 
CONVOY, AND I THINK IT WAS A

07:54.540 --> 07:57.420
GREAT EXPERIENCE, ESPECIALLY
GETTING TO BOND WITH THE NCOs

07:57.420 --> 07:58.840
THAT WE CAME WITH.

07:59.030 --> 08:01.870
