00:05.463 --> 00:06.615
- [Voiceover] The Hawaii National Guard's

00:06.615 --> 00:08.532
93rd Civil Support Team

00:08.816 --> 00:12.003
trains local law enforcement agencies and first responders

00:12.003 --> 00:13.826
on the island of Kauai.

00:13.826 --> 00:16.967
Training sessions focused on reaction to a chemical attack

00:16.967 --> 00:19.012
during a live shooter scenario.

00:19.012 --> 00:22.916
- The scenario for today is an active shooter situation

00:22.916 --> 00:25.585
on a college campus, much like Virgia Tech

00:25.585 --> 00:28.509
or so many other school mass shootings

00:28.509 --> 00:30.535
that we've had in the last couple of years.

00:30.535 --> 00:32.684
We've also combined that with a slight element

00:32.684 --> 00:35.434
of the Aurora, Colorado incident.

00:35.781 --> 00:37.294
So we have a chemical component

00:37.294 --> 00:39.504
that first responders have to deal with.

00:39.504 --> 00:41.637
- [Voiceover] Hawaii National Guard soldiers and airmen

00:41.637 --> 00:43.045
oversee the mock scenario

00:43.045 --> 00:46.062
and ensure proper training tactics are implented.

00:46.062 --> 00:49.895
- The 93rd CST belongs to the state of Hawaii.

00:49.954 --> 00:53.516
And so they go to each of the islands at least once a year,

00:53.516 --> 00:55.347
and they work with those first responders,

00:55.347 --> 00:57.237
develop those relationships,

00:57.237 --> 01:00.375
train them on advanced techniques and procedures,

01:00.375 --> 01:01.872
a lot of refresher training.

01:01.872 --> 01:05.857
And then they help them advance their programs as well.

01:05.857 --> 01:07.803
- [Voiceover] On top of invaluable training,

01:07.803 --> 01:10.408
Captain Brent Nakasone says the partnership

01:10.408 --> 01:13.097
between military personnel and local agencies

01:13.097 --> 01:14.874
are just as important.

01:14.874 --> 01:16.751
- The relationships that are being built

01:16.751 --> 01:19.671
between our personnel within our team

01:19.671 --> 01:22.949
and the personnel that are currently working with agencies,

01:22.949 --> 01:25.853
because when something does go wrong

01:25.853 --> 01:27.396
you already have the face to face.

01:27.396 --> 01:28.915
You know who to call.

01:28.915 --> 01:30.742
The phone numbers are already traded.

01:30.742 --> 01:31.967
The cell phone number's already traded.

01:31.967 --> 01:34.301
So I think that's one of the biggest takeaways

01:34.301 --> 01:37.939
is that relationship-building during the exercise.

01:37.939 --> 01:40.070
