00:04.237 --> 00:08.040
the vapour beals explosive ordnance
disposal technicians training

00:08.040 --> 00:12.000
is a team effort but when an incident
occurs off base it means

00:12.000 --> 00:15.350
working with more than just the
airman beside you on may fifth

00:15.641 --> 00:19.440
deal and travis air force base eo de
traveled to clear lake california

00:19.870 --> 00:24.040
to participate with several local agencies
for the exercise operation

00:24.040 --> 00:28.190
half life training off like this
is really beneficial for us

00:28.590 --> 00:32.780
because we're working with other
services the army csd working

00:33.185 --> 00:37.340
with civil authorities fire department
police department and

00:37.340 --> 00:40.300
so for your normal training that
we do the shop you don't always

00:40.300 --> 00:44.440
get that so now it's great to see
how they operate type equipment

00:44.440 --> 00:47.700
they get a piece I think just workin'
in that joint environment

00:48.060 --> 00:51.660
is one of the greatest things about
the strain in a lead by the

00:51.660 --> 00:55.170
90 fifth civil support team operation
half life was designed

00:55.170 --> 00:58.840
to evaluate a synchronized multi agency
response to major incidents

00:58.840 --> 01:02.330
that occurred in the area yielding
his work came halfway through

01:02.330 --> 01:05.363
the day after the sheriff's office
created a perimeter around

01:05.363 --> 01:08.770
a b will be known as the bomb factory
eudy technicians carefully

01:08.770 --> 01:11.460
scouted the building and made
their own means of entry

01:12.730 --> 01:15.769
the abandoned building used for
the exercise allowed using text

01:15.771 --> 01:19.301
to perform real world operations
without concern of damage to

01:19.301 --> 01:22.480
property a part of their training
but they don't usually get

01:22.480 --> 01:26.580
to execute back on bass they had all
the emphasis for this blocked

01:26.580 --> 01:31.070
off so we had to create a different
entrance into the building

01:31.260 --> 01:36.705
and a calendar the wall or through
a door that you're normally

01:36.705 --> 01:41.890
would build open up this is lofty
but we found a way and at the

01:41.890 --> 01:45.290
end of the day bill and travis theo
de were able to disarm and

01:45.290 --> 01:49.430
deactivate all known mock ideas including
a radioactive dispersal

01:49.430 --> 01:52.822
device which finalized the completion
of operation half life

01:53.600 --> 01:58.508
