00:05.313 --> 00:07.575
- I am Airman First Class Riley Warren

00:07.575 --> 00:09.569
and I am a Cyber Transport Technician.

00:09.569 --> 00:13.348
And, I am a part of the 332nd Expeditionary Comm Squadron.

00:13.348 --> 00:16.812
Today, we're configuring our Comm Fly Away kit,

00:16.812 --> 00:18.312
also called a CFK.

00:18.727 --> 00:23.560
And the CFK is used for communications in base emergencies

00:25.226 --> 00:27.976
and emergencies off base as well.

00:28.164 --> 00:30.929
We can also use it in a forward deployed location

00:30.929 --> 00:33.648
to maintain communications at all times.

00:33.648 --> 00:36.401
One of the biggest issues whenever we're setting up

00:36.401 --> 00:38.942
our Comm Fly Away kit is actually maintaining

00:38.942 --> 00:40.685
that initial connection.

00:40.685 --> 00:42.046
That's the hard part.

00:42.046 --> 00:44.328
As soon as we establish the initial connection,

00:44.328 --> 00:46.517
from there, it's pretty much just plugging

00:46.517 --> 00:49.444
in different systems and getting everything up and running

00:49.444 --> 00:51.511
and making sure everything's going smoothly.

00:51.511 --> 00:55.075
The importance of maintaining constant communications

00:55.075 --> 00:57.562
is because decisions need to be made fast

00:57.562 --> 01:00.713
and they need to be communicated quickly.

01:00.713 --> 01:03.386
And what we're doing today with our Comm Fly Away kit,

01:03.386 --> 01:04.669
is we're making sure that we

01:04.669 --> 01:07.417
can maintain constant communications,

01:07.417 --> 01:09.667
when and where it's needed.
