00:00.000 --> 00:02.750
(dramatic music)

00:11.720 --> 00:14.170
- Coalition VIRTUAL FLAG is an opportunity

00:14.170 --> 00:15.900
for our coalition and joint departments

00:15.900 --> 00:17.010
to get together.

00:17.010 --> 00:20.420
It's a theater level
exercise that we can practice

00:20.420 --> 00:22.490
our tactics, techniques and procedures.

00:22.490 --> 00:25.550
It takes place in the
virtual and simulated world

00:25.550 --> 00:27.990
with environment generators that replicate

00:27.990 --> 00:29.983
the exact threats that we're facing.

00:32.510 --> 00:35.160
- CVF benefits the war
fighter by giving them

00:35.160 --> 00:38.850
the unique ability to work
face to face with joint

00:38.850 --> 00:41.080
and coalition partners that
they don't normally get

00:41.080 --> 00:42.390
in a live environment.

00:42.390 --> 00:45.090
This venue gives them the ability

00:45.090 --> 00:48.200
to have that face to face
contact from planning all

00:48.200 --> 00:50.440
the way to execution
for the next two weeks,

00:50.440 --> 00:52.340
which makes them a better war fighter.

00:54.570 --> 00:56.310
- Today's war fighter needs to be ready

00:56.310 --> 00:59.170
to take on any challenge and in the future

00:59.170 --> 01:01.910
and as of now we have limited resources

01:01.910 --> 01:04.070
and limited budget to do that.

01:04.070 --> 01:07.050
So any chance that we have to exercise

01:07.050 --> 01:09.750
with our coalition partners is a plus.

01:09.750 --> 01:12.970
And this facility pioneers
the way for us to do that

01:12.970 --> 01:16.860
by allowing the UK, Australia,
Canada and ourselves,

01:16.860 --> 01:20.083
to all virtually exercise
together during a flag.
