00:07.640 --> 00:10.730
aircraft two o'clock , contact I . F .

00:10.730 --> 00:13.240
F . Unknown hot sauce , engage missile ,

00:13.240 --> 00:15.350
away missile , away missile away

00:15.940 --> 00:19.690
Tracking splash . Currently , the 1174

00:19.700 --> 00:22.740
is conducting operations in Guam . Um

00:22.740 --> 00:25.340
as part of a forger , 21 America's Day

00:25.340 --> 00:27.451
starts tearing Guam . What we've done

00:27.451 --> 00:29.590
here with the 1174 Is that a few days

00:29.600 --> 00:31.822
over the last month ? We were the first

00:31.822 --> 00:33.656
ones up starting America's Day ,

00:33.656 --> 00:35.656
basically our primary equipment and

00:35.656 --> 00:37.711
systems are the Avenger which shoots

00:37.711 --> 00:39.711
this thing around and then also the

00:39.711 --> 00:41.933
sentinel radar . So we're able to track

00:41.933 --> 00:44.100
and manage both enemy and friendly air

00:44.170 --> 00:46.770
and our job is to provide protection to

00:46.770 --> 00:49.220
maneuver units through short Sure , it

00:49.220 --> 00:51.870
is a short range air defense . So

00:51.940 --> 00:54.162
identifying any aircraft that is coming

00:54.162 --> 00:56.384
into the air picture as well as we have

00:56.384 --> 00:58.440
our Avenger weapon systems set up on

00:58.440 --> 01:00.496
two sites throughout the island that

01:00.496 --> 01:02.440
are maintaining Overwatch over the

01:02.440 --> 01:04.496
skies and receiving information from

01:04.496 --> 01:06.551
the sentinel . Uh , the adventure is

01:06.551 --> 01:08.551
essentially a humvee with a missile

01:08.551 --> 01:10.718
launcher attached to it , uh , capable

01:10.718 --> 01:12.884
of holding eight Singer missiles and a

01:12.884 --> 01:14.960
50 cal machine gun . Uh , these type

01:14.960 --> 01:17.127
events let us training terrain is that

01:17.127 --> 01:19.238
we would never get to experience back

01:19.238 --> 01:21.516
at in Ohio after doing stuff like this ,

01:21.516 --> 01:23.404
that really builds the confidence

01:23.404 --> 01:23.200
because you know that the Avenger can

01:23.200 --> 01:25.367
handle terrain like this . Doing it on

01:25.367 --> 01:27.589
an island , really adds that confidence

01:27.589 --> 01:29.850
in our ability to load up our equipment

01:29.860 --> 01:32.830
and move it all the way from Ohio to

01:32.830 --> 01:35.210
Guam demonstrates our ability to

01:35.220 --> 01:38.160
support force projection into different

01:38.160 --> 01:40.216
theaters . Are soldiers come up in a

01:40.216 --> 01:41.993
culture to where we go a lot of

01:41.993 --> 01:44.104
different places and we work in a lot

01:44.104 --> 01:45.882
of different environments . One

01:45.882 --> 01:48.104
observation is , the sun doesn't settle

01:48.104 --> 01:50.327
in the 1174 or the 174 88 brigades . So

01:50.327 --> 01:52.493
I think we're ready . Um , I think our

01:52.493 --> 01:54.160
soldiers have gained valuable

01:54.160 --> 01:56.216
proficiency during this exercise and

01:56.216 --> 01:58.216
we'll continue to build upon that ,

01:59.740 --> 01:59.950
right
