00:03.890 --> 00:05.779
fast breaking developments in the

00:05.779 --> 00:07.840
Corona virus emergency , the U . S .

00:08.000 --> 00:10.290
And around the world . And now we turn

00:10.290 --> 00:12.290
to the U . S . Military and defense

00:12.290 --> 00:14.401
communities role in the fight against

00:14.401 --> 00:16.700
Kobe . 19 . For the Air Force , like

00:16.710 --> 00:18.766
the other branches of the military ,

00:18.766 --> 00:20.710
the mission must go on despite the

00:20.710 --> 00:22.543
Corona virus outbreak . It's not

00:22.543 --> 00:24.599
business as usual . It's business is

00:24.599 --> 00:26.766
required . I was planning for pandemic

00:26.766 --> 00:28.750
the same as for a war or how is it

00:28.760 --> 00:31.900
different ? There was a lot of

00:31.900 --> 00:33.900
information and it was flowing very

00:33.900 --> 00:36.290
fast . I will tell you that the nuclear

00:36.290 --> 00:38.457
forces had actually been preparing for

00:38.457 --> 00:40.512
this a week earlier . So we had gone

00:40.512 --> 00:42.512
through an entire planning cycle to

00:42.512 --> 00:44.734
deliberately look at how do we keep our

00:44.734 --> 00:46.679
forces safe ? Have the forces that

00:46.679 --> 00:48.790
around feel prepared and protected so

00:48.790 --> 00:51.700
that when this wave did come over us

00:51.700 --> 00:53.644
and we knew that there would be an

00:53.644 --> 00:55.700
entire wave in the country , I would

00:55.700 --> 00:57.867
have to be dealing with that they want

00:57.867 --> 00:59.700
to make sure all the forces were

00:59.700 --> 01:01.700
secured . I think the biggest thing

01:01.700 --> 01:03.756
that we did was to make sure that we

01:03.756 --> 01:05.478
were wide open with all of our

01:05.478 --> 01:07.256
communications and having those

01:07.256 --> 01:09.256
conversations with all of the folks

01:09.256 --> 01:12.680
that were at risk out in the field here ,

01:12.680 --> 01:15.670
on the base , in the community , out

01:15.680 --> 01:17.847
into the local area , because everyone

01:17.847 --> 01:19.958
wanted to know exactly what was gonna

01:19.958 --> 01:23.730
happen here at the war . In a number of

01:23.740 --> 01:25.851
a large portion of our community with

01:25.860 --> 01:28.027
within Cheyenne . Here are retirees or

01:28.027 --> 01:30.150
veterans , right and love them .

01:30.550 --> 01:32.661
Utilize the base and come on the base

01:32.661 --> 01:34.550
for various reasons to be medical

01:34.550 --> 01:36.661
basics changed a commissary shop that

01:36.661 --> 01:38.939
whatever it is , they regularly use it .

01:38.939 --> 01:41.050
So the challenge for us wasn't making

01:41.050 --> 01:43.217
sure that we were utilizing all of our

01:43.217 --> 01:45.439
messaging platform is the best we could

01:45.439 --> 01:47.272
to ensure that we were , in fact

01:47.272 --> 01:49.383
reaching them with the latest updates

01:49.383 --> 01:51.383
and the changes that were impacting

01:51.383 --> 01:53.530
their access . One of the things that

01:53.530 --> 01:55.752
we've done is implemented Teleworking .

01:55.752 --> 01:58.230
A large population of our team is

01:58.230 --> 02:00.460
teleworking right now and utilizing all

02:00.460 --> 02:02.850
the different social media platforms

02:03.200 --> 02:05.590
and acts that are out there in order to

02:05.600 --> 02:08.430
keep the information flowing . The

02:08.440 --> 02:10.329
three D printing masks . That was

02:10.329 --> 02:12.273
pretty exciting time for us at the

02:12.273 --> 02:14.496
mighty 90 because as soon as we learned

02:14.496 --> 02:16.607
that we could print three D mess that

02:16.607 --> 02:18.829
would help our healthcare professionals

02:18.829 --> 02:20.884
out Our defenders , Everybody on the

02:20.884 --> 02:22.884
front line . Instantly , all of the

02:22.884 --> 02:25.051
three D printers start going to work .

02:25.051 --> 02:28.770
24 7 us , along with Dental

02:28.770 --> 02:32.760
squadron Munns and you d were all

02:33.100 --> 02:35.433
pushing out these three d printed masks .

02:35.800 --> 02:37.990
Day that way said , Hey , we need

02:38.930 --> 02:42.490
another three printed orm or within 24

02:42.490 --> 02:44.750
hours to 48 hours , I would say we had

02:44.760 --> 02:47.570
already doubled our 30 printers and we

02:47.570 --> 02:49.792
were able to push out double the amount

02:49.792 --> 02:52.700
of 30 mess . So the acquisition process

02:52.870 --> 02:55.037
went really smoothly and really fast .

02:57.160 --> 02:59.216
Each match with a slightly different

02:59.216 --> 03:01.216
insert and shaping the filter paper

03:01.216 --> 03:01.160
that we're playing with . So we're

03:01.160 --> 03:03.271
putting a filter paper and to get out

03:03.440 --> 03:05.440
matter from the air . And then this

03:05.440 --> 03:07.607
attachment here is what we connect our

03:07.607 --> 03:09.773
tester to , to kind of checked the fit

03:09.773 --> 03:11.773
with environmental engineering , so

03:11.773 --> 03:13.940
they're able to quantify how effective

03:13.940 --> 03:15.996
these masks are . Much of what we do

03:15.996 --> 03:18.162
inside the Security Forces group deals

03:18.162 --> 03:20.218
with people . Our business is people

03:20.218 --> 03:22.440
way work with people . We interact with

03:22.440 --> 03:24.551
people , and we had to tailor some of

03:24.551 --> 03:26.496
those ops in order to still do our

03:26.496 --> 03:28.840
business When Covert originally started ,

03:28.850 --> 03:30.906
we're all kind of didn't really know

03:30.906 --> 03:33.072
exactly what was gonna happen for us .

03:33.072 --> 03:35.294
We knew that there was going to be some

03:35.294 --> 03:38.280
big changes coming taken I D cards

03:38.570 --> 03:40.710
handling people's I D cards . I think

03:40.710 --> 03:42.710
that's going to be something that's

03:42.710 --> 03:44.821
gonna be maintained for for a while ,

03:44.821 --> 03:47.070
if not indefinitely . Honestly , I

03:47.070 --> 03:49.237
don't know if we'll ever be to appoint

03:49.237 --> 03:52.410
toe where things will be back to 100%

03:52.410 --> 03:55.720
normal prior to Code 19 . There's a lot

03:55.720 --> 03:58.610
of focus on the deaths or the number of

03:58.620 --> 04:00.842
folks have gotten sick or how being the

04:00.842 --> 04:03.009
spread is . I actually like to look at

04:03.009 --> 04:05.120
the opposite . I like to look at what

04:05.120 --> 04:07.231
the good is coming from it , how much

04:07.231 --> 04:09.287
we have . Mankind has been trying to

04:09.287 --> 04:09.050
pull together , find alternative ways

04:09.050 --> 04:11.161
to still have social interaction , to

04:11.161 --> 04:13.161
find new ways to still get business

04:13.161 --> 04:15.400
done and helps people succeed without

04:15.400 --> 04:17.678
maybe having that personal interaction .

04:17.678 --> 04:19.844
That's the part I really like to focus

04:19.844 --> 04:21.900
on , and in particular for a group .

04:21.900 --> 04:24.067
That's where the defenders of security

04:24.067 --> 04:26.122
forces group or love associated with

04:26.122 --> 04:25.740
our group have really continued to

04:25.740 --> 04:26.740
shine .

04:29.840 --> 04:31.840
So what ? The dining facility being

04:31.840 --> 04:33.729
missing ? Essential . We have had

04:33.729 --> 04:35.784
minimal disruptions due to Kobe 19 .

04:35.784 --> 04:37.840
However , we have had Teoh take more

04:37.840 --> 04:40.062
strict precautions to ensure the safety

04:40.062 --> 04:41.840
of our customers as well as our

04:41.840 --> 04:44.007
employees here on F E Warren Air Force

04:44.007 --> 04:46.173
Base . We had to put an airman out the

04:46.173 --> 04:48.062
door to ensure that our customers

04:48.062 --> 04:50.229
employees immediately wash their hands

04:50.229 --> 04:52.396
and ensure that they're wearing a face

04:52.396 --> 04:54.618
mask upon entering the facility . We've

04:54.618 --> 04:56.673
also had to mark the floor to insure

04:56.673 --> 04:59.320
than our customers adhere to the six

04:59.320 --> 05:00.880
foot social distancing rule

05:04.740 --> 05:06.796
group commanders or someone from the

05:06.796 --> 05:09.129
groups like security forces , the O . G .

05:09.129 --> 05:11.296
M mystery . They provide a list of the

05:11.296 --> 05:13.990
people that are gonna trip out to , you

05:13.990 --> 05:16.046
know , to the maps or else he sees .

05:16.046 --> 05:18.046
Then they go through the drive thru

05:18.046 --> 05:19.768
process , and then we give the

05:19.768 --> 05:21.934
specimens the lab and then shipped off

05:21.934 --> 05:24.770
the right path . Since Cove in 19 we've

05:24.780 --> 05:27.670
been doing the mass screenings every

05:27.670 --> 05:31.650
week . This'd to help screen and make

05:31.650 --> 05:34.590
sure that all of our central personnel

05:34.590 --> 05:38.300
isn't exposed way mitigate the spread

05:38.870 --> 05:41.540
of Corona surgeon barker and surgeon

05:41.540 --> 05:44.990
pie came down from Jersey and they're

05:44.990 --> 05:47.212
the independent duty medical technician

05:47.212 --> 05:49.480
faded the bulk of our testing , so they

05:49.490 --> 05:52.160
really kind of they took the brunt of

05:52.160 --> 05:53.993
it and they were out there every

05:53.993 --> 05:55.938
morning from the beginning when we

05:55.938 --> 05:57.882
started testing and Rob , See when

05:57.882 --> 06:00.104
we're just doing symptomatic people . I

06:00.104 --> 06:02.090
think that as medical health

06:02.090 --> 06:05.680
professionals , when we take care of

06:05.690 --> 06:09.220
patients and contribute to their health

06:09.220 --> 06:12.050
care and that of their family , even

06:12.050 --> 06:14.217
though we have concerns in the back of

06:14.217 --> 06:16.700
our mind , it's it's that selfless

06:16.700 --> 06:18.922
service aspects , like it's , it's what

06:18.922 --> 06:21.144
we do . It's what we're made for . It's

06:21.144 --> 06:23.422
what we trained for , so we just do it .

06:24.550 --> 06:28.030
Our pharmacy team way had to bring

06:28.040 --> 06:30.207
folks outside of the med group because

06:30.207 --> 06:32.318
we didn't want people coming into the

06:32.318 --> 06:34.373
med group potentially exposing other

06:34.373 --> 06:36.373
folks , you know , especially being

06:36.373 --> 06:38.651
potential being asymptomatic here . Ah ,

06:38.651 --> 06:40.818
lot of patients really like it because

06:40.818 --> 06:40.150
they don't have to sit in the med group

06:40.150 --> 06:42.317
and wait . They haven't appointed time

06:42.317 --> 06:44.372
to get their medication and they can

06:44.372 --> 06:46.317
run their errands and , you know ,

06:46.317 --> 06:48.483
leave and do their thing way flew over

06:48.483 --> 06:50.594
the city of Cheyenne to kind of raise

06:50.594 --> 06:53.630
morale over the city to pay thanks to

06:53.630 --> 06:55.850
the medical personnel who are fighting

06:55.850 --> 06:57.961
on the frontlines against the Cove in

06:57.961 --> 07:01.780
19 Pandemic . It shows that we're all

07:01.780 --> 07:03.891
in this together , not just civilians

07:03.891 --> 07:06.113
with US military personnel as well . In

07:06.113 --> 07:08.224
that way , we're here to support them

07:08.224 --> 07:10.447
just as much as they support us . We're

07:10.447 --> 07:12.224
not used to the whole six month

07:12.224 --> 07:14.280
deployment like at some of the other

07:14.280 --> 07:16.169
career field . So our spouses are

07:16.169 --> 07:18.460
feeling it , seeing what military is

07:18.810 --> 07:20.860
mostly about with deployments that

07:20.860 --> 07:23.700
others go on your arses not as long as

07:23.710 --> 07:26.510
six way might be in the inter new

07:26.510 --> 07:28.677
normal , but now , really , it's a new

07:28.677 --> 07:31.300
admiral I see be enforced , can operate

07:31.310 --> 07:33.254
from any condition . It's with our

07:33.254 --> 07:35.254
awesome conceptual airman that that

07:35.254 --> 07:37.950
happens . 20 . Their forces highlighted

07:38.380 --> 07:40.436
that we're always lethal , ready and

07:40.436 --> 07:42.602
sure and were lethal , already insured

07:42.602 --> 07:44.769
before Cove in 19 . And I can tell you

07:44.769 --> 07:46.936
and public that were even more ready .

07:46.936 --> 07:50.310
Drink over 19 . This is a

07:50.320 --> 07:54.020
pandemic , and without a vaccine , it

07:54.020 --> 07:55.687
is going to be a concern that

07:55.687 --> 07:57.910
everyone's mind so so . I do want our

07:57.920 --> 08:00.142
arm and thinking about it , and I do it

08:00.142 --> 08:02.480
are wondering if where the next

08:02.490 --> 08:04.601
problems gonna come from wondering if

08:04.601 --> 08:06.712
there's going to be an issue in their

08:06.712 --> 08:08.934
family because concerned there many are

08:08.934 --> 08:10.934
Airman that take action , concerned

08:10.934 --> 08:12.934
Chairman , our chairman . That will

08:12.934 --> 08:15.046
absolutely do the right thing to make

08:15.046 --> 08:17.212
sure that our folks are protected . As

08:17.212 --> 08:19.434
we go forward , I will tell you that no

08:19.434 --> 08:21.601
one is going to be more prepared . The

08:21.601 --> 08:23.768
United States military and I know it's

08:23.768 --> 08:23.270
because of our airman's actions that

08:23.270 --> 08:24.200
will be able to do that .
