00:00.231 --> 00:02.814
(gentle music)

00:05.790 --> 00:07.341
- The Airfield Damage Repair Team

00:07.341 --> 00:10.120
replaces spalls in concrete.

00:10.120 --> 00:12.760
So they'll go out to the runway,

00:12.760 --> 00:15.851
anything that's cracked or
concrete that's missing,

00:15.851 --> 00:19.220
that's been damaged from
exposure to either the elements

00:19.220 --> 00:21.550
or aircraft landing on it, they go out,

00:21.550 --> 00:23.960
cut out the concrete and repair it

00:23.960 --> 00:26.852
so that aircraft can land safely.

00:26.852 --> 00:29.435
(gentle music)

00:34.933 --> 00:37.152
During repair we have 14 different MLS's,

00:37.152 --> 00:39.933
so I was expecting a little
bit of struggle at first,

00:39.933 --> 00:41.803
but after a little bit of time,

00:41.803 --> 00:45.142
the Marines starting working
together really, really, well.

00:45.142 --> 00:47.051
- A lot of the marines
that we have out here

00:47.051 --> 00:48.302
they're not combat engineers.

00:48.302 --> 00:50.720
So they're not quite used to this.

00:50.720 --> 00:54.192
They are doing a lot better
than I actually expected.

00:54.192 --> 00:56.775
(gentle music)

00:58.566 --> 01:00.950
Although the weather
conditions, it's not too bad.

01:00.950 --> 01:04.397
It's cooler than what we're used to,

01:04.397 --> 01:05.897
but it is getting hotter.

01:05.897 --> 01:08.617
We currently changed our working hours

01:08.617 --> 01:12.467
from the middle of the day
to earlier in the morning

01:12.467 --> 01:15.384
so we don't have to fight the heat.

01:16.537 --> 01:19.310
Aircraft Damage and Repair
helps the MAGTAF mission.

01:19.310 --> 01:21.377
It increases aviation operations

01:21.377 --> 01:24.127
throughout the area of operation.
