WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:03.083
(propeller whirring)

00:04.510 --> 00:06.000
- So, the mission of the 75th out here

00:06.000 --> 00:08.200
is to provide a rapid,
tactical airlift response

00:08.200 --> 00:10.327
to anybody who needs essential supplies.

00:10.327 --> 00:12.720
We respond to attacks.

00:12.720 --> 00:15.820
We bring all sorts of cargo,
from fuel, to drones, to ammo,

00:15.820 --> 00:18.620
to anybody who needs it
downrange in the Horn of Africa.

00:19.560 --> 00:21.660
So, as a Loadmaster with the 75th EAS,

00:21.660 --> 00:23.810
our main duty is
supervising and making sure

00:23.810 --> 00:24.959
that our plane is ready to go.

00:24.959 --> 00:27.810
Whether that's restraining
chains down to a Humvee,

00:27.810 --> 00:29.040
or checking our weight
and balance of the plane

00:29.040 --> 00:30.460
to make sure we can take enough cargo

00:30.460 --> 00:31.830
to the place that we're going.

00:31.830 --> 00:32.950
Our job is critical to make sure

00:32.950 --> 00:35.330
that we can fly safely and efficiently

00:35.330 --> 00:37.660
and get our cargo to where it needs to go.

00:37.660 --> 00:39.552
- [Soldier] Roger, power's
going in and out at the front.

00:39.552 --> 00:41.090
(Radio Distorts Soldiers Speech)

00:41.090 --> 00:42.393
Power is set.

00:43.534 --> 00:47.617
(Radio Distorts Soldiers Speech)

00:48.600 --> 00:51.355
- As a pilot we are in
charge of flying the plane

00:51.355 --> 00:54.420
with all of the people
and equipment on board

00:54.420 --> 00:55.253
to where they need to go.

00:55.253 --> 00:59.170
We are definitely a service
to all of those out there.

00:59.170 --> 01:01.733
As pilots we are in charge of the aircraft

01:01.733 --> 01:04.870
and the mission, and
the timeline for that.

01:04.870 --> 01:07.160
Day to day life and health is
a good one for the aircrew.

01:07.160 --> 01:08.820
We work at night.

01:08.820 --> 01:11.190
So, we're out when it's
much cooler, and we just fly

01:11.190 --> 01:14.880
to all the outbases taking
people, and their equipment,

01:14.880 --> 01:17.660
and help support their efforts out there.

01:17.660 --> 01:22.070
The mission of a 75th EAS is
to provide logistic support

01:22.070 --> 01:24.660
to all of the deployed
units at the outbases

01:24.660 --> 01:27.183
out of CBGL.

01:28.135 --> 01:30.510
My favorite part about the
job is getting away from

01:30.510 --> 01:31.400
the computer.

01:31.400 --> 01:34.070
Going out flying someplace it's
always a dynamic environment

01:34.070 --> 01:36.817
which makes it more
challenging than the normal

01:36.817 --> 01:38.283
officer lifestyle.

01:39.656 --> 01:42.320
- Djibouti is a fun assignment
because you never know

01:42.320 --> 01:43.520
what you're going to get out here.

01:43.520 --> 01:45.648
I've had every piece
of cargo under the sun.

01:45.648 --> 01:50.239
Whether that's; trucks,
razors, or that's ammo.

01:50.239 --> 01:53.300
I've seen so much stuff
out here, it's ridiculous.

01:53.300 --> 01:56.467
(Plane Engine Whines)

01:59.550 --> 02:01.450
So just incredible
efficiency from this unit.

02:01.450 --> 02:03.610
This entire deployment,
it's been really fun

02:03.610 --> 02:05.103
how well we've worked together.
