00:04.635 --> 00:07.024
- Which one do I actively cool?

00:07.024 --> 00:09.055
- [Hugo] Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technicians,

00:09.055 --> 00:10.541
along with one hospital-man from

00:10.541 --> 00:12.682
Combined Joint Task Force born of Africa,

00:12.682 --> 00:15.267
recently began a humanitarian mine-action program

00:15.267 --> 00:17.643
for 53 Kenya Defence Forces soldiers.

00:17.643 --> 00:20.409
The training, which runs from 5-30 September,

00:20.409 --> 00:21.736
encompasses medical training and

00:21.736 --> 00:25.903
counter-improvised explosive device detection and disposal.

00:26.959 --> 00:28.012
- [HMI Aaron] The overall training that we're providing

00:28.012 --> 00:29.610
for the individuals here is

00:29.610 --> 00:32.552
working in the realm of explosive organs

00:32.552 --> 00:34.101
that informs of IED,

00:34.101 --> 00:35.970
rope-placed explosives,

00:35.970 --> 00:37.803
vehicles, projectiles.

00:38.414 --> 00:40.697
We're trying to incorporate their ability to

00:40.697 --> 00:42.408
do their job as an engineer to take care

00:42.408 --> 00:43.387
of the ordnance.

00:43.387 --> 00:44.813
And then also if needs be,

00:44.813 --> 00:46.870
if something were to happen, heaven forbid,

00:46.870 --> 00:48.293
that someone actually get hurt,

00:48.293 --> 00:50.997
that they can incorporate that into their SOPs

00:50.997 --> 00:52.943
of being able to take care of the ordnance

00:52.943 --> 00:54.303
and take care of their individuals

00:54.303 --> 00:56.303
that may have been hurt.

00:57.047 --> 00:59.114
- [LC Mohammad] To me, since we came to the class

00:59.114 --> 01:01.947
from AED and class,

01:02.079 --> 01:04.710
we see there's a big difference.

01:04.710 --> 01:05.909
I didn't have that knowledge.

01:05.909 --> 01:09.211
I will have gone to some island without that knowledge.

01:09.211 --> 01:10.342
I could have died,

01:10.342 --> 01:12.759
but now I know what to do.

01:14.140 --> 01:16.650
When I gather on how to deal with the enemy

01:16.650 --> 01:17.733
I'll survive.

01:20.667 --> 01:22.534
- [Ensign Christina] The overall value of the training

01:22.534 --> 01:26.365
as far as contributing to our success as a CJTF-HOA,

01:26.365 --> 01:28.948
is through our efforts here.

01:29.266 --> 01:33.089
We will be directly contributing to the promoted

01:33.089 --> 01:36.843
regional stability as the troops gain partner capacity

01:36.843 --> 01:39.326
to understand these basic skills,

01:39.326 --> 01:42.744
then they can take that when they support Amazon,

01:42.744 --> 01:44.811
and they can utilize those skill sets to

01:44.811 --> 01:46.478
obtain that regional stability that

01:46.478 --> 01:48.378
we're hoping to attain out here.

01:48.378 --> 01:49.943
- Ensign Hammervold also said that training will

01:49.943 --> 01:52.579
culminate in a final Train the Trainer portion,

01:52.579 --> 01:54.186
which will set the groundwork for the soldiers

01:54.186 --> 01:57.414
to pass on their CIED training to future forces.

01:57.414 --> 01:58.453
Reporting from Kenya,

01:58.453 --> 02:00.714
I'm Air Force Staff Sargent Hugo Delgado.

02:00.714 --> 02:01.881
- Very good.
