00:00.763 --> 00:03.513
(sirens blaring)

00:06.370 --> 00:07.800
- Name and status?

00:07.800 --> 00:10.930
I am a 375th Security Forces Armorer.

00:10.930 --> 00:12.320
The importance of having an armorer

00:12.320 --> 00:15.860
is having somebody on duty
to account and do inventory

00:15.860 --> 00:18.523
and secure all the weapons
within the squadron.

00:19.820 --> 00:23.510
Prior to guardmount, I pretty
much arm up the entire flight,

00:23.510 --> 00:26.480
give them all the
equipment and their weapons

00:26.480 --> 00:29.350
that they're gonna be using for the day.

00:29.350 --> 00:32.250
Pretty much all the posted
patrols will routinely

00:32.250 --> 00:35.670
get a M9 pistol, they'll get a M4 carbine

00:35.670 --> 00:37.680
and then they'll also get a choice

00:37.680 --> 00:40.290
of at least one less-than-lethal weapon,

00:40.290 --> 00:41.961
either a taser or a baton.

00:41.961 --> 00:42.794
(metal clicking)

00:42.794 --> 00:45.354
(exciting music)

00:45.354 --> 00:47.538
- Okay.

00:47.538 --> 00:48.371
Hit.

00:49.491 --> 00:50.324
(metal clicking)

00:50.324 --> 00:51.157
Clear.

00:51.157 --> 00:53.000
- Guardmount is the beginning of our day.

00:53.000 --> 00:54.650
It's whenever the new shift is coming on

00:54.650 --> 00:56.950
to relieve the shift
that's currently working.

00:59.460 --> 01:01.020
It's important to ensure
that all the personnel

01:01.020 --> 01:02.790
actually know their assigned post,

01:02.790 --> 01:04.450
know their required duties for that day,

01:04.450 --> 01:07.410
whether it's checks that are
given to us all the way down

01:07.410 --> 01:10.180
from the Wing Commander
or from our ET personnel.

01:10.180 --> 01:11.790
Make sure they know what
they're required to do

01:11.790 --> 01:14.040
for that shift and make
sure everyone's fit for duty

01:14.040 --> 01:15.263
for that shift, as well.
