00:02.196 --> 00:04.636
(instrumental rock music)

00:04.636 --> 00:05.924
- Today what we're doing is we're up here

00:05.924 --> 00:07.098
at Camp Guernsey, Wyoming.

00:07.098 --> 00:10.013
We're doing our heavy weapons qualification,

00:10.013 --> 00:13.310
making sure that we keep up with our annual certifications.

00:13.310 --> 00:16.350
And the other individuals that are in the squadron

00:16.350 --> 00:18.047
are getting familiarization training.

00:18.047 --> 00:18.956
^We got up on the range.

00:18.956 --> 00:21.427
^The weather's working out with us well.

00:21.427 --> 00:23.122
^Range control worked out perfect.

00:23.122 --> 00:26.955
^The weapons haven't had any mechanical issues.

00:29.542 --> 00:32.634
To get the familiarization of the operating of the weapons,

00:32.634 --> 00:35.530
it's really important that we get out here, we get hands on,

00:35.530 --> 00:38.126
not only in the classroom, but out here on the range

00:38.126 --> 00:40.815
and do the live qualifications with the weapons.

00:40.815 --> 00:42.540
They get the experience, again,

00:42.540 --> 00:43.992
of the functionality of the weapon.

00:43.992 --> 00:45.932
They come down with the mechanics of it,

00:45.932 --> 00:48.593
and they actually get to see the engagement

00:48.593 --> 00:51.604
at real distances versus shooting at paper targets.

00:51.604 --> 00:53.982
(weapons fire)

00:53.982 --> 00:56.276
Being a part of the Security Forces Squadron,

00:56.276 --> 00:58.404
it's really good that we get a chance to get out

00:58.404 --> 01:02.571
and use the weapons that we're tasked with for deployment.

01:03.057 --> 01:04.382
It means a lot to them.

01:04.382 --> 01:05.410
They get the hands on.

01:05.410 --> 01:06.779
They become more comfortable,

01:06.779 --> 01:09.568
more confident with the weapon system itself.

01:09.568 --> 01:11.931
And it's a chance to do team-building

01:11.931 --> 01:13.829
and get away from the computers

01:13.829 --> 01:17.412
and get out in the open field and have fun.
