WEBVTT 00:02.120 --> 00:04.342 less than a month ago , our country and 00:04.370 --> 00:06.592 more specifically , the 23rd wing first 00:06.592 --> 00:09.270 introduced to it now really a crucible 00:09.270 --> 00:12.580 moment that forced us tow reorient way 00:12.580 --> 00:14.860 we think about everything . One thing 00:14.860 --> 00:16.860 we know about times of adversity is 00:16.950 --> 00:18.783 there's always displays of great 00:18.783 --> 00:20.950 strength and what I've seen that great 00:20.950 --> 00:23.172 strength lies with men and women . 75th 00:23.172 --> 00:25.283 fighter Squatter Total Force Partners 00:25.283 --> 00:28.580 in 76 23rd 0 s s are unstoppable . AM 00:28.580 --> 00:31.850 excess . What we've done is developed 00:31.940 --> 00:34.162 some risk balanced operations standards 00:34.162 --> 00:36.329 change the way we operate , everything 00:36.329 --> 00:38.218 from how the one Charlie's and OB 00:38.218 --> 00:40.162 supervisors launch sorties to help 00:40.162 --> 00:42.440 pilots and maintainers interact . Teoh , 00:42.440 --> 00:44.551 who cleans the shared workstations at 00:44.551 --> 00:46.718 the end of each shift . So the goal is 00:46.718 --> 00:48.950 clear . It's to maintain a healthy 00:49.290 --> 00:51.234 airman , help families and healthy 00:51.234 --> 00:53.240 community also observing our combat 00:53.250 --> 00:55.361 power . So what we've done is all the 00:55.361 --> 00:57.940 CDC guidance , physical distancing , 00:58.230 --> 01:00.286 personal hygiene , staying at home , 01:00.290 --> 01:02.890 don't feel we've also broken squadron 01:02.890 --> 01:05.980 up into two equal teams . Unfortunate 01:06.030 --> 01:08.490 case the virus does hit one of the 01:08.500 --> 01:10.500 teams . The other team is poised to 01:11.020 --> 01:13.400 stand up and continue maintaining the 01:13.400 --> 01:16.760 level of readiness we require . We all 01:16.760 --> 01:18.871 have to give combat capability to the 01:18.910 --> 01:21.190 downrange commanders , right ? If you 01:21.190 --> 01:23.246 shut off the fly mission right now , 01:23.340 --> 01:25.396 then you degrade that mission day by 01:25.396 --> 01:27.520 day by day . It's not like riding a 01:27.520 --> 01:29.520 bike sometimes where you could just 01:29.520 --> 01:31.520 pick it up on the next day . You're 01:31.520 --> 01:33.576 just as good as you were yesterday . 01:33.576 --> 01:35.742 Violets need to fly often and be ready 01:35.742 --> 01:37.909 for every situation that's out there . 01:37.909 --> 01:37.770 So it's Colonel joke as the fighter 01:37.770 --> 01:39.937 squadron commander , and as the rescue 01:39.937 --> 01:42.048 squadron , commanders want to ramp up 01:42.048 --> 01:44.159 flying operations again to meet those 01:44.159 --> 01:46.270 combat objectives that they want they 01:46.270 --> 01:46.170 want to set up for Then our folks have 01:46.170 --> 01:48.337 to work . And one of the unique things 01:48.337 --> 01:50.503 about the O . S S is it doesn't matter 01:50.503 --> 01:52.503 if you're flying one airplane or 30 01:52.503 --> 01:54.726 year planes off the airfield . My folks 01:54.726 --> 01:56.726 were working to support that . This 01:56.726 --> 01:58.948 number's really don't shift that much . 01:58.948 --> 02:01.059 So are balancing of the risk out here 02:01.059 --> 02:03.170 in the O . S . S is not as much . How 02:03.170 --> 02:05.337 many people do I have working , or how 02:05.337 --> 02:04.920 do I split up the shifts ? But it's 02:04.920 --> 02:07.031 really what are they doing internally 02:07.031 --> 02:09.198 in those facilities to keep themselves 02:09.198 --> 02:11.364 safe ? My Tower folks in my Rap Contra 02:11.364 --> 02:13.587 my radar approach . Control members are 02:13.587 --> 02:15.753 really the most critical in this phase 02:15.753 --> 02:17.753 because of these facilities go down 02:17.753 --> 02:19.920 from sickness . Their planes don't fly 02:19.920 --> 02:22.142 internal their facility . They work the 02:22.142 --> 02:24.198 same number of ships as they used to 02:24.198 --> 02:23.610 because , like I said , that doesn't 02:23.610 --> 02:25.721 change based on number of airplanes . 02:25.721 --> 02:27.721 But inside , they're working little 02:27.721 --> 02:29.943 things . I cleaning their headsets at a 02:29.943 --> 02:32.166 different pace than they used to making 02:32.166 --> 02:31.800 sure they don't share any of those 02:31.800 --> 02:35.010 communication equipment . So I have a 02:35.010 --> 02:37.010 room that we call the Ia far room . 02:37.480 --> 02:39.647 That's where the controllers sitting . 02:39.647 --> 02:41.536 They look at a scope . That's how 02:41.536 --> 02:43.702 they're controlling the airplane's not 02:43.702 --> 02:45.813 just that take off out of moody , but 02:45.813 --> 02:48.147 they control 12 satellite airports here . 02:48.147 --> 02:47.490 At the same time , they're helping 02:47.490 --> 02:49.910 Jacksonville Center Control commercial 02:49.910 --> 02:52.243 airliners that air over this area , too . 02:52.243 --> 02:54.188 They all sit within inches of each 02:54.188 --> 02:56.188 other in that room based on how the 02:56.188 --> 02:58.410 scopes are set up . You can't just pick 02:58.410 --> 03:00.521 up the scope and move it . It's all a 03:00.521 --> 03:02.688 big wall of equipment . Eso internally 03:02.688 --> 03:02.490 there . New standard operating 03:02.490 --> 03:05.070 procedures are minimizing , really , 03:05.160 --> 03:07.160 the number of people in that room , 03:07.160 --> 03:09.104 first of all , which is hard to do 03:09.104 --> 03:11.327 because you need a minimum in there and 03:11.327 --> 03:11.170 then making sure that they don't 03:11.180 --> 03:13.291 interact with each other physically . 03:14.090 --> 03:16.312 So that's a unique challenge . And some 03:16.312 --> 03:18.479 of those rules were breaking point and 03:18.479 --> 03:20.646 simple , because I have to to keep the 03:20.646 --> 03:20.170 flying mission going . But we're being 03:20.170 --> 03:22.114 a strict as possible as we do that 03:23.140 --> 03:25.251 everything that pilots and crew chief 03:25.251 --> 03:27.196 has ever known . How we operate is 03:27.196 --> 03:29.650 change from the handshake beginning the 03:29.650 --> 03:32.920 sortie two strapping in two way . We 03:32.920 --> 03:35.490 review forms to how we disinfect the 03:35.490 --> 03:37.880 aircraft . The commission . We've done 03:37.880 --> 03:39.810 these things in a way , Thio , to 03:39.810 --> 03:42.690 maintain our ops , continue flying 03:43.520 --> 03:45.950 training while also staying safe .
