00:00.000 --> 00:02.583
(upbeat music)

00:09.498 --> 00:11.170
(bomb blasts)

00:11.170 --> 00:13.900
- The Global Response Force is the GRF.

00:13.900 --> 00:15.960
And basically, from a global standpoint,

00:15.960 --> 00:18.550
we can respond to any type of contingency

00:18.550 --> 00:20.450
or humanitarian operation.

00:20.450 --> 00:23.340
EMEDS here is the Expeditionary
Medical Support System.

00:23.340 --> 00:26.230
This is the actual field
hospital that we can take.

00:26.230 --> 00:30.050
It's a plus 25 bed
facility and we are testing

00:30.050 --> 00:33.280
and validating all of our
potential new equipment

00:33.280 --> 00:36.000
to ensure that it meets our
needs for when we go downrange

00:36.000 --> 00:38.650
for any type of humanitarian
or contingency response.

00:41.425 --> 00:42.260
- [Man] Lift!

00:42.260 --> 00:44.280
- [Jennifer] So the first two days

00:44.280 --> 00:46.270
is we put up all of our tents.

00:46.270 --> 00:48.200
It's an 11-tent configuration.

00:48.200 --> 00:50.870
Then we go ahead and open
up all of our assemblages

00:50.870 --> 00:53.010
and we populate the tents.

00:53.010 --> 00:54.360
After we do that,

00:54.360 --> 00:56.470
we go ahead and we validate
all of our equipment.

00:56.470 --> 00:58.900
Our readiness office
at AIRCOM back commands

00:58.900 --> 01:00.100
from the general's office.

01:00.100 --> 01:03.280
They can ensure that whatever
needs that we have identified

01:03.280 --> 01:05.820
and help ensure that the
assemblage that we populate

01:05.820 --> 01:08.430
and we put forward is the right assemblage

01:08.430 --> 01:11.462
that is going to meet our
needs for when we deploy.

01:11.462 --> 01:13.305
- One and two and three.

01:13.305 --> 01:14.460
One and two and three and--

01:14.460 --> 01:16.250
- I think some of the lessons learned

01:16.250 --> 01:18.880
is that you have to have flexibility.

01:18.880 --> 01:22.780
You have to be able to respond

01:22.780 --> 01:25.190
to a field environment
that you may not be used to

01:25.190 --> 01:27.860
in a fixed facility and you never know

01:27.860 --> 01:30.500
what type of situation
you could be faced with.

01:30.500 --> 01:33.780
And how to come together as
a team, communication is key.

01:33.780 --> 01:34.720
And I think that's something

01:34.720 --> 01:36.630
that they really learned this week,

01:36.630 --> 01:38.230
is how they can work together as a team

01:38.230 --> 01:39.632
to accomplish the mission.

01:39.632 --> 01:42.799
(jet engines roaring)
