00:00.000 --> 00:02.100
I think when you look at our eight wings

00:02.100 --> 00:04.859
they are very diverse. This wing is

00:04.859 --> 00:07.710
probably the most diverse wing that we

00:07.710 --> 00:12.450
have, but when you consider the combat

00:12.450 --> 00:14.730
capability that comes out of all our

00:14.730 --> 00:16.590
wings it's very easy to see how we

00:16.590 --> 00:18.720
contribute to the joint fight, how we

00:18.720 --> 00:21.029
bring air power to bear for both

00:21.029 --> 00:24.029
EUCOM and AFRICOM so that joint fight

00:24.029 --> 00:26.070
can occur. And when you think about the

00:26.070 --> 00:28.349
threats that we have for us, whether

00:28.349 --> 00:30.689
you're talking about here in Europe with

00:30.689 --> 00:33.390
an aggressive neighbor to our East or

00:33.390 --> 00:35.340
Africa where we have the

00:35.340 --> 00:38.190
counterterrorism fight going on, it

00:38.190 --> 00:40.590
becomes pretty obvious that we have a

00:40.590 --> 00:43.410
lot of work to do. And I think that the

00:43.410 --> 00:45.960
combination of what are eight wings in

00:45.960 --> 00:48.989
third Air Force provide really give an

00:48.989 --> 00:51.989
edge to the combatant commanders both

00:51.989 --> 00:58.520
and in EUCOM and AFRICOM.
