00:02.260 --> 00:04.910
pilots at Misawa Air Base participated

00:04.920 --> 00:07.087
in a combat survival training course .

00:07.540 --> 00:09.970
So we covered primarily survival and

00:09.970 --> 00:12.192
evasion , and we took the pilots out to

00:12.192 --> 00:14.359
the field so that they could get hands

00:14.359 --> 00:16.470
on application and practice of , uh ,

00:16.470 --> 00:18.450
surviving in evading any enemy or

00:18.450 --> 00:20.640
hostile force that is trying to find

00:20.640 --> 00:23.370
them . The pilots in the U . S .

00:23.380 --> 00:25.900
Military member is such an important

00:25.910 --> 00:28.240
factor for us that we don't wanna leave

00:28.240 --> 00:30.600
anybody behind . So we always train

00:30.600 --> 00:33.150
them so that they can come back to

00:33.150 --> 00:35.530
their families without becoming a

00:35.530 --> 00:38.210
casualty off . Essentially , ah , war

00:38.220 --> 00:40.780
or even any type of training that they

00:40.780 --> 00:42.891
dio . So we want to make sure that if

00:42.891 --> 00:45.058
they're flying and they go down , they

00:45.058 --> 00:47.430
have the proper training in tools so

00:47.430 --> 00:50.080
that they can return with honor . The

00:50.080 --> 00:52.302
training utilized an Osprey for a night

00:52.302 --> 00:54.191
recovery to simulate a real world

00:54.191 --> 00:56.490
scenario . Petty Officer Elissa Sparely
