00:00.670 --> 00:03.926
- We're essential for the
lethality of our mission.

00:03.926 --> 00:07.220
(whirring sound)

00:07.220 --> 00:11.917
But we're flying constantly,
every day almost.

00:11.917 --> 00:14.840
(upbeat music)

00:14.840 --> 00:17.040
For the helicopter's pre-flight itself,

00:17.040 --> 00:18.960
we make sure the
helicopter's flightworthy.

00:18.960 --> 00:21.373
Make sure that the
aircraft can fly safely.

00:23.254 --> 00:26.630
If anything is broken and nobody
saw it for the pre-flight,

00:26.630 --> 00:28.910
we're supposed to catch it
and report it to maintenance

00:28.910 --> 00:30.900
so they can fix it before our flight

00:30.900 --> 00:35.003
to have all the Huey's operational.

00:35.003 --> 00:36.140
(wind blowing sound)

00:36.140 --> 00:38.833
Defenders on the ground
for the convoy itself,

00:39.890 --> 00:43.730
they're in charge of the
security of the actual payload.

00:43.730 --> 00:46.540
So if anything were to spring up,

00:46.540 --> 00:50.983
they would have initial
control of the payload itself.

00:52.150 --> 00:53.130
- Got it.

00:53.130 --> 00:55.420
- But what makes us lethal is

00:55.420 --> 00:59.180
we provide a different aspect

00:59.180 --> 01:02.880
of view, field of view
for the ground personnel

01:02.880 --> 01:04.300
that we relay to them.

01:04.300 --> 01:06.820
We can see the entire battle space.

01:06.820 --> 01:10.420
We can see enemies behind
cover, behind obstacles,

01:10.420 --> 01:12.350
behind hills, terrain.

01:12.350 --> 01:14.403
For, let's say a convoy,

01:15.590 --> 01:19.120
we can see out maybe 10, 15 miles.

01:19.120 --> 01:21.660
It gives us a little bit
more situational awareness

01:21.660 --> 01:26.660
to how the environment looks
for the ground personnel.

01:27.124 --> 01:28.660
(whirring sound)

01:28.660 --> 01:32.313
For the payload transporter,
in case they need to stop,

01:33.230 --> 01:37.350
regroup, or figure out a
way to go around that threat

01:37.350 --> 01:40.930
with the weapon systems
that we have onboard,

01:40.930 --> 01:43.274
we can also prosecute those targets.

01:43.274 --> 01:45.510
(wind drowns out dialogue)

01:45.510 --> 01:47.310
Training, I believe it's important

01:47.310 --> 01:51.960
because we don't have
a daily threat per se.

01:51.960 --> 01:55.100
So training daily would keep us warm.

01:55.100 --> 01:57.119
It's that repetition, that muscle memory.

01:57.119 --> 01:59.440
(whirring sound)

01:59.440 --> 02:00.490
If anything were to happen,

02:00.490 --> 02:01.750
you don't have to think about it.

02:01.750 --> 02:04.613
You instinctively know what
to do and how to do it.

02:05.830 --> 02:07.574
- Pre-flight's good looking.

02:07.574 --> 02:08.407
- Good.

02:08.407 --> 02:09.340
- Tonight what we're doing is,

02:09.340 --> 02:13.860
we're practicing night ops
training for future events.

02:13.860 --> 02:16.400
If a convoy were to happen at night,

02:16.400 --> 02:20.290
then we'd have to go to ship,
to the actual missile site.

02:20.290 --> 02:23.291
That's what we would be
practicing for tonight.

02:23.291 --> 02:25.190
(lively music)

02:25.190 --> 02:28.140
We're essential for the
lethality of our mission,

02:28.140 --> 02:30.503
but we're here to protect the nukes,

02:31.410 --> 02:33.710
that way nobody takes 'em.

02:33.710 --> 02:36.540
If somebody messes with those nukes,

02:36.540 --> 02:38.202
it's gonna be a bad day for everybody.

02:38.202 --> 02:40.952
(whirring sound)
