00:08.135 --> 00:09.365
(truck beeping)

00:09.365 --> 00:10.944
- [Jourdan] It's six a.m. on the flight line

00:10.944 --> 00:14.056
and soldiers from the 35th Air Defense Artillery Brigade

00:14.056 --> 00:16.041
are out making sure a major upgrade

00:16.041 --> 00:19.354
to the Patriot missile system reaches its new depot.

00:19.354 --> 00:20.504
- We brought everything.

00:20.504 --> 00:22.896
We brought the depot here, basically,

00:22.896 --> 00:25.799
and we are applying it just like we would back in the depot.

00:25.799 --> 00:28.578
And this is going to be the first brigade

00:28.578 --> 00:30.828
to get these modifications.

00:31.166 --> 00:32.416
The very first.

00:33.209 --> 00:37.122
- It's all part of modernizing the US Patriot fleet,

00:37.122 --> 00:39.478
and we're starting here at 35th Brigade.

00:39.478 --> 00:42.137
And not only will it greatly reduce

00:42.137 --> 00:46.142
the logistics footprint of what we have to maintain

00:46.142 --> 00:48.964
and improve reliability and maintainability,

00:48.964 --> 00:52.632
but it also adds some significant capabilities

00:52.632 --> 00:54.150
to this radar here.

00:54.150 --> 00:55.532
- [Jourdan] The upgrade to the Patriot fleet

00:55.532 --> 00:58.272
is a key component in maintaining security

00:58.272 --> 01:00.022
across the peninsula.
