00:00.720 --> 00:01.553
- Hey there everyone.

00:01.553 --> 00:03.960
I'm Senior Airman Angelo
Rosario with your look

00:03.960 --> 00:05.640
Around the Air Force.

00:05.640 --> 00:07.170
U.S. Pacific Air Forces

00:07.170 --> 00:10.320
and the Southeast Asia Nations
Center for Military Medicine

00:10.320 --> 00:12.920
are working to increase
international relations

00:12.920 --> 00:16.460
and establish a disease
outbreak surveillance system.

00:16.460 --> 00:18.550
The new initiative called SMARTIES

00:18.550 --> 00:20.460
brought together subject matter experts

00:20.460 --> 00:23.590
to discuss ways to coordinate
public health emergencies

00:23.590 --> 00:25.670
and protect the civilian population

00:25.670 --> 00:28.950
from disease outbreaks of
international significance.

00:28.950 --> 00:30.950
SMARTIES will work with
the already established

00:30.950 --> 00:33.370
Asian Nations Center for Military Medicine

00:33.370 --> 00:36.130
to create a multilateral
and streamlined approach

00:36.130 --> 00:37.630
for training, surveillance,

00:37.630 --> 00:39.760
and humanitarian response efforts

00:39.760 --> 00:42.210
within the Indo-Pacific region.

00:42.210 --> 00:44.990
The Air Force is creating a
computer language initiative

00:44.990 --> 00:48.250
to gain more Airman fluent
in the language of computers.

00:48.250 --> 00:49.680
Captain Michael Kanaan,

00:49.680 --> 00:52.410
Co-Chair for Air Force
Artificial Intelligence,

00:52.410 --> 00:54.810
says AI algorithms should
be taught to airmen

00:54.810 --> 00:56.430
as a mission-critical skill

00:56.430 --> 00:58.920
just like Mandarin, Spanish or Arabic.

00:58.920 --> 01:01.500
Log on to MyPers and
search computer language

01:01.500 --> 01:03.050
to complete the self-assessment

01:03.050 --> 01:05.660
for an opportunity to be
part of the initial phase

01:05.660 --> 01:07.800
of the Computer Language Initiative.

01:07.800 --> 01:10.320
Retired Lieutenant
Colonel Richard E. Cole,

01:10.320 --> 01:12.710
the last surviving member
of the Doolittle Raiders,

01:12.710 --> 01:15.240
passed away Tuesday in San Antonio, Texas

01:15.240 --> 01:17.410
at the age of 103.

01:17.410 --> 01:19.600
On April 18th, 1942

01:19.600 --> 01:21.670
the Doolittle Raiders
attacked Tokyo, Japan

01:21.670 --> 01:24.610
in retaliation for the
attack on Pearl Harbor.

01:24.610 --> 01:26.800
The Doolittle Raid boosted American morale

01:26.800 --> 01:29.140
during the early months of World War II.

01:29.140 --> 01:31.580
The raid is legendary
because of the enormous odds

01:31.580 --> 01:34.900
the pilots faced with no
ability to refill mid-flight,

01:34.900 --> 01:39.290
no GPS guidance and no guarantees
of success or survival.

01:39.290 --> 01:41.830
Lieutenant Colonel Cole's
service decorations include

01:41.830 --> 01:44.290
the distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal,

01:44.290 --> 01:47.110
Bronze Star Medal, Air
Force Commendation Medal,

01:47.110 --> 01:49.710
Congressional Gold Medal and many others.

01:49.710 --> 01:51.560
