00:02.530 --> 00:04.770
- Hello Barnstormers, welcome
to your November drill

00:04.770 --> 00:08.250
and our four-day phase
two readiness exercise.

00:08.250 --> 00:10.320
I'm really excited about this,

00:10.320 --> 00:12.160
getting it off to a great start.

00:12.160 --> 00:13.639
The most important thing
we all need to remember

00:13.639 --> 00:16.370
is you know safety is number one.

00:16.370 --> 00:17.940
We're gonna be looking out for each other

00:17.940 --> 00:19.170
and we're gonna be
looking after the mission

00:19.170 --> 00:21.850
to make sure that we are on
step and ready to go to war.

00:21.850 --> 00:23.700
Readiness is one of those
things that's incredibly

00:23.700 --> 00:24.533
difficult to measure.

00:24.533 --> 00:27.160
Like anything else, you
know it when you see it.

00:27.160 --> 00:29.430
We need to always remember the leadership

00:29.430 --> 00:31.610
knows we are ready at any time to go.

00:31.610 --> 00:33.510
We are ready right now
as a wing to go to war,

00:33.510 --> 00:35.060
and we are ready to fight.

00:35.060 --> 00:37.860
What we really need to
focus on is can we actually

00:37.860 --> 00:39.950
go to that fight and continue to survive

00:39.950 --> 00:41.690
and operate in a contested environment?

00:41.690 --> 00:42.870
That's what we're out there to measure.

00:42.870 --> 00:44.870
We know what readiness
looks like as a whole.

00:44.870 --> 00:47.620
I can look at a unit and go
these guys are ready to go.

00:47.620 --> 00:49.970
You as the individual are
the one who need to assess.

00:49.970 --> 00:52.040
When you go home and you
think about going to war,

00:52.040 --> 00:53.410
are you ready?

00:53.410 --> 00:54.850
Is the guy next to you ready?

00:54.850 --> 00:56.290
That being said, I know
this is going to be

00:56.290 --> 00:59.083
a fantastic exercise, and go Barnstormers.
