00:02.460 --> 00:04.330
- The Fifth Contracting Squadron,

00:04.330 --> 00:05.520
working behind the scenes

00:05.520 --> 00:08.763
to ensure you have the necessary
tools for mission success.

00:09.920 --> 00:13.150
Whether it's equipment, parts,
or the things you need most,

00:13.150 --> 00:14.800
Contracting always has your back.

00:17.630 --> 00:19.780
- Whenever you, as an airman,

00:19.780 --> 00:20.930
need a piece of equipment

00:20.930 --> 00:22.782
or maybe a service to get the job done,

00:22.782 --> 00:23.864
that's where we get involved.

00:23.864 --> 00:25.120
And we say, "Hey, you know,

00:25.120 --> 00:27.650
these are the type of solutions
are available to you."

00:27.650 --> 00:30.923
and then we coordinate that
piece with our mission partners.

00:31.900 --> 00:33.990
I know that we just purchased Explotrain

00:33.990 --> 00:36.337
so simulators for guns.

00:36.337 --> 00:38.090
That's something that we did.

00:38.090 --> 00:41.250
The shoot house was a target
system for security forces

00:41.250 --> 00:44.083
so they could practice
breaching procedures.

00:45.450 --> 00:48.240
Nine times out of ten when
you think about the resources

00:48.240 --> 00:50.850
that you have available to
you, so like the furniture

00:50.850 --> 00:52.580
that you might have in your office, right?

00:52.580 --> 00:56.010
Or you know, if you go to
defect, the people working there,

00:56.010 --> 00:59.110
all of that has been contracted,
who was behind those things

00:59.110 --> 01:00.700
so you could just do your job.

01:00.700 --> 01:03.790
And the way we know we're
doing our job correctly

01:03.790 --> 01:06.330
is if you don't notice that there is

01:06.330 --> 01:08.450
anything wrong around you.

01:08.450 --> 01:11.400
- If folks knew what those
tools that we have are

01:11.400 --> 01:13.990
that we could help them to
fill those mission gaps.

01:13.990 --> 01:16.551
That would go a long way in helping us

01:16.551 --> 01:20.013
get exactly what they need
to get their mission done.

01:20.920 --> 01:22.950
- Everything we do effects the base.

01:22.950 --> 01:26.200
The reason why is because we acquire items

01:26.200 --> 01:29.530
that people need every day in
able to get the mission done.

01:29.530 --> 01:31.720
So really without Contracting

01:31.720 --> 01:34.860
we wouldn't be able to function as a base.

01:34.860 --> 01:38.000
Without us we wouldn't have
even half the amenities

01:38.000 --> 01:40.840
that we have or even be able
to have any of the tools

01:40.840 --> 01:43.201
that Maintenance needs to get things done.

01:43.201 --> 01:46.253
Yeah, it's very fulfilling,
I enjoy it a lot.

01:49.350 --> 01:53.702
- Another benefit for GPC is
soon coming to my Airforce Base

01:53.702 --> 01:54.787
they're going to be able

01:54.787 --> 01:57.600
to purchase through Amazon Business.

01:57.600 --> 02:00.830
So primarily it's going
to be just like Amazon

02:00.830 --> 02:04.320
but tailored specifically for Airforce.

02:04.320 --> 02:06.080
- Our Airmen are fantastic at doing this.

02:06.080 --> 02:08.140
There's no better group
of people that know

02:08.140 --> 02:11.425
how to take a bunch of
information and pair it down

02:11.425 --> 02:13.923
and get after exactly what
mission partners need.
