00:01.750 --> 00:03.740
- [Jeff] US Air Force Air Mobility Command

00:03.740 --> 00:07.430
and the 725th AMS completed
Exercise Nodal Lightning

00:07.430 --> 00:10.130
at Naval Station Rota on October 23rd.

00:10.130 --> 00:14.500
The 725th executed their C5
and C-17 aircraft maintenance

00:14.500 --> 00:16.810
launches, recoveries and
support equipment readiness

00:16.810 --> 00:20.330
under various simulated mop
levels and FPCON settings.

00:20.330 --> 00:21.670
- We conduct these exercises

00:21.670 --> 00:25.390
to test our capabilities under pressure.

00:25.390 --> 00:26.760
We like, we would put ourselves

00:26.760 --> 00:27.830
in contestant environments

00:27.830 --> 00:31.000
to see if we're able to
perform the same processes,

00:31.000 --> 00:33.850
and if not, what can we do
to improve those processes?

00:33.850 --> 00:35.480
It's all a learning experience.

00:35.480 --> 00:37.000
We act on it,

00:37.000 --> 00:38.580
we record what has happened,

00:38.580 --> 00:40.800
we evaluate, and then we improve.

00:40.800 --> 00:42.990
- [Jeff] The 725Th
established command centers

00:42.990 --> 00:44.850
that successfully communicated the changes

00:44.850 --> 00:47.210
in the tactical environment
during the exercise.

00:47.210 --> 00:48.710
Reporting from Naval Station Rota,
