WEBVTT

00:01.480 --> 00:02.870
- So we really train for anything

00:02.870 --> 00:04.790
and everything could happen.

00:04.790 --> 00:07.820
We have a force on the ground
that needs help, whether it's,

00:07.820 --> 00:10.860
you know, some kind of IED
blast and people are entrapped

00:10.860 --> 00:13.410
in a vehicle, or if
somebody fell down a well

00:13.410 --> 00:16.830
or off a cliff and they need
technical rescue expertise

00:16.830 --> 00:19.820
to help get one of their guys
out, or somebody is hurt,

00:19.820 --> 00:21.500
they're having a bad day,

00:21.500 --> 00:23.530
we hope that those things never happen,

00:23.530 --> 00:25.640
but we're training here to ensure

00:25.640 --> 00:27.420
that if and when those things

00:27.420 --> 00:29.373
do happen that we're ready to respond.

00:30.440 --> 00:32.860
So this gives us the autonomy

00:32.860 --> 00:35.930
to integrate with really any ground force.

00:35.930 --> 00:36.763
Something that's unique

00:36.763 --> 00:38.280
about the Guardian Angel Weapon System

00:38.280 --> 00:40.650
is we can insert on the ground and link up

00:40.650 --> 00:45.650
with really any ground
force, and in any capacity,

00:45.720 --> 00:50.290
to provide technical rescue
and integrate that airpower.

00:50.290 --> 00:51.330
- [Soldier] Make sure they
don't flank us west, alright?

00:51.330 --> 00:54.050
- It's been great to work
with these pilots, you know,

00:54.050 --> 00:55.840
the last couple days
I've really figured out

00:55.840 --> 00:57.570
how they operate as a crew.

00:57.570 --> 00:59.410
And for them to work with
us, and see how we operate

00:59.410 --> 01:02.670
as a team, and really figure out

01:02.670 --> 01:04.613
what's important to each party.

01:07.166 --> 01:08.440
- [Soldier] Go slow.

01:08.440 --> 01:10.280
- Air Force Combat Search and Rescue

01:10.280 --> 01:11.900
has slowly gotten a name for itself,

01:11.900 --> 01:13.210
because of the great work

01:13.210 --> 01:14.640
that they've done in
that joint environment.

01:14.640 --> 01:17.680
There are thousands of people
out there, from Navy, Marines,

01:17.680 --> 01:20.370
Army, when things got real
bad, and they needed us,

01:20.370 --> 01:23.300
we were there, and we were
able to effectively operate,

01:23.300 --> 01:25.180
and rescue a lot of people,
and save a lot of lives.

01:25.180 --> 01:26.170
- [Soldier] Get utility here.

01:26.170 --> 01:27.450
- The Department of Defense looks

01:27.450 --> 01:28.590
at Combat Search and Rescue,

01:28.590 --> 01:31.480
or personnel recovery,
as a critical mission.

01:31.480 --> 01:33.860
And we're the only unit within the DoD

01:33.860 --> 01:35.240
that that is our sole job.

01:35.240 --> 01:37.390
Our only job is to, day in and day out,

01:37.390 --> 01:40.520
practice personnel recovery,
combat search and rescue.

01:40.520 --> 01:42.720
That's something that,
every day, we wake up,

01:42.720 --> 01:44.500
and we try to perfect, because,

01:44.500 --> 01:46.180
out there you don't get
out 'till you perfect it.

01:46.180 --> 01:47.640
Out there you need to do it.

01:47.640 --> 01:50.510
So we have an opportunity, out
here, to train at our peak,

01:50.510 --> 01:51.343
so that we can be out there

01:51.343 --> 01:52.983
and be ready for whatever happens.
