00:01.430 --> 00:03.010
- [Narrator] Regional Hub Nodes are the largest

00:03.010 --> 00:04.670
transport nodes for the war fighter

00:04.670 --> 00:06.610
information network tactical network.

00:07.050 --> 00:09.116
Strategically located at five Department of Defense

00:09.116 --> 00:12.180
standard technical entry point locations globally,

00:12.450 --> 00:15.580
they enable the Army to deploy forces anywhere in the world.

00:16.020 --> 00:18.660
Soldiers of the 63rd Expeditionary Signal Battalion,

00:18.660 --> 00:20.530
35th Theater Tactical Signal Brigade

00:20.530 --> 00:22.480
got a chance to train with the soldiers

00:22.825 --> 00:23.880
operating this busy site.

00:24.037 --> 00:26.130
^- [Captain Jason Bennett] The soldiers of the 63rd ESB

00:26.320 --> 00:28.620
^are coming on site to do some site technical training

00:28.620 --> 00:31.840
from a force com perspective with our net com soldiers.

00:32.050 --> 00:34.810
Their team leads are coming out to work with my tier one

00:34.810 --> 00:38.280
Regional Hub Node soldiers to understand our operations

00:38.280 --> 00:41.340
and processes on how we assist the war fighter

00:41.340 --> 00:44.380
connecting to the department of defense information network.

00:45.300 --> 00:47.820
The most important aspect from the training for

00:48.595 --> 00:51.043
my guys are gonna see how a FORSCOM signal soldier

00:51.043 --> 00:53.250
conducts training in the field environment

00:53.250 --> 00:55.410
and how they bring up their tactical nodes

00:55.680 --> 00:59.260
to provide support for their mission command

00:59.260 --> 01:00.510
information systems.

01:01.320 --> 01:02.300
^- [SSG Christopher Swope] We are up here

01:02.606 --> 01:04.656
^visiting the Regional Hub Node Fort Bragg

01:04.780 --> 01:09.430
which provides 47% of the total strategic RHN support

01:09.430 --> 01:10.880
through out the entire world.

01:10.950 --> 01:13.050
We are cross training not only ourselves,

01:13.050 --> 01:15.180
tactical into the strategic, but the strategic

01:15.180 --> 01:17.400
soldiers are gonna learn our SNAP equipment

01:17.400 --> 01:19.650
and what it means to set up tactically,

01:19.650 --> 01:21.870
and some of the environmental concerns that we have

01:21.870 --> 01:24.310
and some of the issues that we face in dealing with that.

01:24.310 --> 01:25.830
Some of the trouble shooting procedures

01:25.830 --> 01:28.210
we have to go through, especially as we

01:28.210 --> 01:30.150
call into the strategic side.

01:30.600 --> 01:32.560
It will give them a better understanding,

01:32.560 --> 01:35.030
our soldiers as well, when they understand the

01:35.030 --> 01:37.820
total support that the RHN provides.

01:37.910 --> 01:40.240
How many people are involved in providing that support.

01:40.240 --> 01:42.120
How many different tier levels it is.

01:42.600 --> 01:44.590
It'll not only give us a better understanding

01:44.590 --> 01:48.870
but also a better grace in understanding each other's job.

01:49.230 --> 01:52.060
Overall for each other not only strategic and tactical

01:52.060 --> 01:55.720
it will help us out as we provide communications

01:55.750 --> 01:57.600
support to the war fighter out there.
