00:00.000 --> 00:02.950
- Good afternoon, Recce
One here with the Chief.

00:02.950 --> 00:03.930
Before heading into the weekend,

00:03.930 --> 00:05.770
I though it'd be a good
idea to give you an update

00:05.770 --> 00:09.393
on coronavirus and the Beale
and Recce Town response to it.

00:09.393 --> 00:12.130
As you know, this is a
quickly evolving threat

00:12.130 --> 00:15.298
and as such, our posture
and our response to it

00:15.298 --> 00:16.639
is evolving as well.

00:16.639 --> 00:19.210
We're working with our
inner agency partners,

00:19.210 --> 00:20.760
like the CDC and AHS,

00:20.760 --> 00:23.310
as well as higher headquarters
to develop our plan.

00:24.470 --> 00:26.434
We're already in HBComm
Bravo, as you know,

00:26.434 --> 00:28.210
and we're implementing other measures

00:28.210 --> 00:29.560
to mitigate the spread of the virus

00:29.560 --> 00:32.190
both on the installation
and the local community.

00:32.190 --> 00:35.310
Some of these steps
include limiting travel

00:35.310 --> 00:36.763
to mission essential only.

00:36.763 --> 00:39.985
We're looking at eliminating
large gatherings,

00:39.985 --> 00:41.712
reducing large gatherings,

00:41.712 --> 00:45.050
and we're also gonna look at teleworking

00:45.050 --> 00:46.480
to max extent possible.

00:46.480 --> 00:48.530
And this applies both to
9th Reconnaissance Wing,

00:48.530 --> 00:50.200
as well as our tenant units

00:50.200 --> 00:53.177
and all the other users
across the installation.

00:53.177 --> 00:54.400
As we move forward,

00:54.400 --> 00:56.350
we're gonna push accurate
timely information

00:56.350 --> 00:57.411
as we develop it

00:57.411 --> 01:00.280
and we know this is gonna
impact a lot of folks

01:00.280 --> 01:01.730
in a lot of different ways.

01:01.730 --> 01:04.508
Everywhere from TD wise to PCS plans,

01:04.508 --> 01:06.783
with some schools closing,

01:06.783 --> 01:09.020
CBC and childcare.

01:09.020 --> 01:10.744
We know this is gonna
impact a lot of folks

01:10.744 --> 01:12.320
and we're gonna work our way through it

01:12.320 --> 01:14.000
and think about the best way to do that.

01:14.000 --> 01:14.913
Chief?

01:14.913 --> 01:16.500
- I encourage everyone to stay plugged in

01:16.500 --> 01:18.676
to the Center for Disease Control website

01:18.676 --> 01:22.160
for the most accurate
and current information.

01:22.160 --> 01:23.750
There's a lot of misinformation out there,

01:23.750 --> 01:25.192
so please stay plugged into the experts

01:25.192 --> 01:26.532
to stay well informed.

01:26.532 --> 01:28.694
Also, stay plugged into your command teams

01:28.694 --> 01:32.440
for the local changing and
procedure policies here at Beale,

01:32.440 --> 01:34.225
in your unit, or at your fly at level.

01:34.225 --> 01:36.290
And finally, please,

01:36.290 --> 01:38.686
ensure the awareness and
safety of your family members.

01:38.686 --> 01:40.310
Every Recce Town member counts

01:40.310 --> 01:42.263
and we have to look out for
each other at all times.

01:42.263 --> 01:43.960
- Thanks Chief.

01:43.960 --> 01:46.395
I think the couple of big
takeaways here are patience

01:46.395 --> 01:48.430
as we develop our way forward

01:48.430 --> 01:49.330
and we'll keep you posted

01:49.330 --> 01:51.040
and like the Chief said,

01:51.040 --> 01:53.134
turn to your command teams and
turn to the official outlets

01:53.134 --> 01:55.983
of information for the
most up to date data

01:55.983 --> 01:58.185
and then again, use common sense.

01:58.185 --> 02:00.220
Think through where you're going.

02:00.220 --> 02:03.970
Try to minimize contact
and stay vigilant, alright?

02:03.970 --> 02:05.770
Have a great weekend, Recce One out.
