00:05.721 --> 00:06.635
- Thanks for joining us.

00:06.635 --> 00:08.800
I'm Petty Officer Taylor Moore.

00:08.800 --> 00:11.384
The collision between USS John S. McCain

00:11.384 --> 00:13.073
and a merchant vessel near Singapore

00:13.073 --> 00:14.729
is under investigation along

00:14.729 --> 00:16.714
with an active search and rescue.

00:16.714 --> 00:19.545
Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral John Richardson

00:19.545 --> 00:22.195
addresses the recent incident and the immediate

00:22.195 --> 00:23.762
next course of action.

00:23.762 --> 00:26.044
^- All of our assistance is flowing to the ship and the crew.

00:26.044 --> 00:29.044
^That is our primary focus right now,

00:29.667 --> 00:32.557
the safety of the crew and the ship

00:32.557 --> 00:34.427
and taking care of their families.

00:34.427 --> 00:36.163
I'd like to thank everybody who has helped us

00:36.163 --> 00:37.082
get to this point,

00:37.082 --> 00:41.249
including and especially the Republic of Singapore Navy.

00:41.384 --> 00:42.217
As you know,

00:42.217 --> 00:44.183
this is the second collision in three months,

00:44.183 --> 00:47.266
and the last in a series of incidents

00:47.267 --> 00:49.184
in the Pacific Theater.

00:50.092 --> 00:53.425
This trend demands more forceful action.

00:53.802 --> 00:57.969
As such, I've directed an operational pause be taken

00:59.592 --> 01:02.759
in all of our fleets around the world.

01:02.880 --> 01:04.637
Want our Fleet Commanders to get together

01:04.637 --> 01:07.459
with their leaders and their commands to insure

01:07.459 --> 01:10.527
that we're taking all appropriate immediate actions

01:10.527 --> 01:14.694
to insure safe and effective operations around the world.

01:14.869 --> 01:17.965
Our thoughts and prayers go out to sailors and families

01:17.965 --> 01:21.132
of USS John McCain and USS Fitzgerald.

01:22.412 --> 01:24.448
- Preparation and training are some of the best safeguards

01:24.448 --> 01:27.406
we have against unexpected future emergencies.

01:27.406 --> 01:30.933
Petty Officer Don Patton takes us to Yokota Air Base,

01:30.933 --> 01:33.092
where service members train to keep others alive

01:33.092 --> 01:35.253
in an adverse environment.

01:35.253 --> 01:37.149
^- [Don] Airmen from Yokota Air Base participated

01:37.149 --> 01:39.989
^in an Active Shooter Response Drill.

01:39.989 --> 01:42.798
^- Members of the 374th Security Force Squadron,

01:42.798 --> 01:44.744
^fire and medical were all involved in this

01:44.744 --> 01:45.964
^Active Shooter Exercise.

01:45.964 --> 01:47.611
^Security Forces provided high-risk response

01:47.611 --> 01:48.973
to the active shooter.

01:48.973 --> 01:50.972
We cleared out the building and neutralized the threat.

01:50.972 --> 01:53.408
Pulled security and maintained security around the building,

01:53.408 --> 01:54.452
inside and out.

01:54.452 --> 01:55.919
- That's it for your Pacific Newsbreak.

01:55.919 --> 01:57.586
Thanks for watching.
