00:02.924 --> 00:06.870
^- I am a first lieutenant in the United States army.

00:06.870 --> 00:10.703
We created a sand table sketch of the mission.

00:12.829 --> 00:15.936
I'm working with Lieutenant Welsh and Lieutenant Brown.

00:15.936 --> 00:17.603
They're also from my unit

00:17.603 --> 00:20.936
and also a couple from Tanzania, Uganda.

00:22.040 --> 00:24.056
We all put in a good amount of effort.

00:24.056 --> 00:24.889
It's fun.

00:24.889 --> 00:26.235
I've learned a lot from them.

00:26.235 --> 00:28.318
I enjoy working with them

00:29.360 --> 00:32.176
and for my first time actually being out of the country,

00:32.176 --> 00:35.358
it's been very rewarding working with them.

00:35.358 --> 00:37.775
They have a lot of knowledge.

00:38.431 --> 00:42.088
They put in a lot of input so they're very helpful.

00:42.088 --> 00:46.255
I'd say the biggest challenge is learning things really

00:46.537 --> 00:48.789
at a fast pace, not really knowing.

00:48.789 --> 00:50.252
It's not your specific job,

00:50.252 --> 00:54.180
which I think most people in the military can relate to.

00:54.180 --> 00:56.186
Back at home, I'm a fire direction officer

00:56.186 --> 00:57.223
for an artillery unit

00:57.223 --> 01:00.466
and thinking through this type of process is very different,

01:00.466 --> 01:02.875
so I think that's been the most challenging.

01:02.875 --> 01:05.208
The biggest reward, I'd say,

01:05.906 --> 01:09.406
working with other countries to teach them

01:10.185 --> 01:12.352
and to have them teach us,

01:12.693 --> 01:15.943
and just to be able to meet new people,

01:16.106 --> 01:18.773
make new friends, and, you know,

01:19.058 --> 01:21.472
build long-term relationships

01:21.472 --> 01:24.449
and it's great to see all types of organizations

01:24.449 --> 01:26.532
from different countries,

01:27.145 --> 01:30.228
to different branches in the military

01:30.266 --> 01:32.014
and the states come together

01:32.014 --> 01:35.347
and have one complete and great outcome.
