00:00.140 --> 00:03.180
- So, my name is Joe
Gasecki, I am the chief mate,

00:03.180 --> 00:06.410
MSC OIC on board the U.S.S. Mount Witney.

00:06.410 --> 00:08.062
As chief mate during BALTOPS,

00:08.062 --> 00:11.638
I wanna need to make sure
that the ship is on schedule,

00:11.638 --> 00:14.360
where it needs to be for operations

00:14.360 --> 00:17.640
that we are participating
in for the exercise.

00:17.640 --> 00:20.810
To some degree, COVID-19
has impacted the planning,

00:20.810 --> 00:24.620
we're taking that into our
ORM account on every evolution

00:24.620 --> 00:27.830
that we plan and mitigate any impacts,

00:27.830 --> 00:31.233
but we continue to operate
in this COVID environment.
