WEBVTT 00:01.640 --> 00:03.862 So it took place at port charleston was 00:03.862 --> 00:06.029 the joint readiness exercise where the 00:06.029 --> 00:07.696 joint deployment Distribution 00:07.696 --> 00:09.807 Enterprise assesses its ability to to 00:09.807 --> 00:11.918 move mass equipment from one point to 00:11.918 --> 00:14.196 another during a major military action . 00:14.196 --> 00:16.410 The intent of the jerry is to assess 00:16.410 --> 00:19.250 the readiness and capability of the 00:19.250 --> 00:20.917 joint deployment Distribution 00:20.917 --> 00:23.028 enterprise right . And its ability to 00:23.028 --> 00:26.560 move at the speed of war essentially , 00:26.560 --> 00:28.449 you have us Transcom as the joint 00:28.449 --> 00:30.393 deployment Distribution Enterprise 00:30.393 --> 00:32.282 coordinator . We have some of our 00:32.282 --> 00:34.393 component organizations , MSC and SEc 00:34.393 --> 00:37.020 along with 101st Airborne , essentially 00:37.020 --> 00:39.020 what we're doing is allowing forces 00:39.020 --> 00:41.187 command to really see how their actual 00:41.190 --> 00:43.357 installations and supporting units can 00:43.357 --> 00:45.620 pivot to World War operations on no 00:45.620 --> 00:47.990 notice our relationship with our 00:47.990 --> 00:49.879 commercial partners is key to our 00:49.879 --> 00:51.601 success . For example , it was 00:51.601 --> 00:53.546 Commercial rail that picked up the 00:53.546 --> 00:55.768 equipment at Fort Campbell Kentucky and 00:55.768 --> 00:58.046 brought it here to our rail yards here , 00:58.046 --> 01:00.212 both at war for Alpha and also here on 01:00.212 --> 01:02.101 T . C . Dockside . That's how our 01:02.101 --> 01:04.101 equipment gets large scale movement 01:04.101 --> 01:06.046 from one installation to another . 01:06.046 --> 01:08.101 That's just one method . We can also 01:08.101 --> 01:10.323 line haul especially for light infantry 01:10.323 --> 01:12.546 brigade units that have smaller rolling 01:12.546 --> 01:14.768 stock equipment . But for rail , that's 01:14.768 --> 01:14.750 also key for events where we would 01:14.750 --> 01:16.639 perhaps be moving like an armored 01:16.639 --> 01:18.583 brigade combat team , larger scale 01:18.583 --> 01:21.180 tracked vehicle equipment in this case . 01:21.180 --> 01:23.347 Also , once the equipment was received 01:23.347 --> 01:25.236 here at our railhead , it was our 01:25.236 --> 01:27.402 International Longshoreman Association 01:27.402 --> 01:29.402 known as R . I . L . A , contracted 01:29.402 --> 01:31.569 labour are stevedores and longshoremen 01:31.569 --> 01:33.791 who bring the equipment off of the rail 01:33.791 --> 01:36.013 cars safely . Stage it into our staging 01:36.013 --> 01:38.236 yards and are secure holding facilities 01:38.236 --> 01:40.458 for sensitive items . And then also are 01:40.458 --> 01:42.458 the ones who drive the equipment up 01:42.458 --> 01:44.624 onto the vessels and packet . And it's 01:44.624 --> 01:46.990 amazing to see how well and tightly 01:47.000 --> 01:49.210 they pack this equipment onto these 01:49.210 --> 01:51.360 vessels that maximizes the efficiency 01:51.360 --> 01:54.440 of the storage space . We need to 01:54.440 --> 01:56.830 continually train that training that we 01:56.830 --> 01:59.800 do on a day to day basis allows us to 01:59.800 --> 02:02.090 keep the army on the move allows us to 02:02.090 --> 02:04.201 maintain that readiness to be able to 02:04.201 --> 02:06.368 respond to current world events , such 02:06.368 --> 02:08.312 as the things that we're currently 02:08.312 --> 02:09.979 operating as the execution of 02:09.979 --> 02:12.257 evacuation operations from Afghanistan . 02:12.257 --> 02:14.479 Things like hurricane response that are 02:14.479 --> 02:16.701 happening with Hurricane IDa . I mean , 02:16.701 --> 02:18.757 you name it , our ability to train , 02:18.757 --> 02:20.812 first of all keeps us ready when the 02:20.812 --> 02:24.620 world needs us . Yeah , I don't know .
