00:00.289 --> 00:02.872
(gentle music)

00:24.950 --> 00:27.210
- The International Health
Specialist Program is fantastic.

00:27.210 --> 00:29.090
None of the other sister
services currently have that.

00:29.090 --> 00:31.740
They are working toward
a joint-type program

00:31.740 --> 00:35.310
where all services have medics
who are specially trained

00:35.310 --> 00:36.393
in theater-security cooperation,

00:36.393 --> 00:38.830
so I think the United States
Air Force is once again

00:38.830 --> 00:40.660
leading the charge in this type of area

00:40.660 --> 00:43.450
and I think it's fantastic
that we get a job like this

00:43.450 --> 00:45.100
to work with our partner nations.

00:58.990 --> 01:03.720
- Global health security is
again a very key component

01:03.720 --> 01:07.640
of all of our regional
security and being able

01:07.640 --> 01:12.580
to help our partner
nations maintain health

01:12.580 --> 01:15.850
of their population and
their military forces

01:15.850 --> 01:20.850
is key to overall ensuring
global or regional security

01:21.580 --> 01:24.930
so I think that's where
global health engagement

01:24.930 --> 01:26.800
really is a key component

01:26.800 --> 01:30.010
of a combatant commander's
theater campaign plan.

01:34.110 --> 01:36.250
- Everything's based on
building relationships.

01:36.250 --> 01:39.260
Without relationships
you cannot move forward.

01:39.260 --> 01:42.240
It's important to have partners, allies,

01:42.240 --> 01:44.963
that can help you meet objectives.

01:45.880 --> 01:49.600
By working with our partner
nations allow us to understand

01:49.600 --> 01:53.510
in case of a humanitarian
assistance disaster response

01:53.510 --> 01:56.300
we're able to build bridges

01:56.300 --> 01:58.930
so that gives us a broad
range of understanding

01:58.930 --> 02:02.483
of where we need to be
to engage with a nation.

02:09.639 --> 02:12.217
- An airman who wants to
get into the IHS Program

02:13.470 --> 02:16.530
is going to have tremendous
opportunities to do things

02:16.530 --> 02:19.380
outside of their normal
Air Force specialty code.

02:19.380 --> 02:21.510
They're gonna get a chance
to work with partner nations.

02:21.510 --> 02:23.590
They're gonna get, in
some cases, the chance

02:23.590 --> 02:26.890
to work with ambassadors,
with national leaders

02:26.890 --> 02:28.680
on a level that they would never do

02:28.680 --> 02:30.270
in their normal occupations.

02:30.270 --> 02:32.730
It's a fantastic
opportunity, truly, for them

02:32.730 --> 02:34.380
to be ambassadors for our nations

02:34.380 --> 02:35.730
in many of these countries.
