00:00.540 --> 00:01.460
mhm mm hmm .

00:12.340 --> 00:16.330
Mhm mm

00:16.330 --> 00:19.710
hmm , mm hmm . Yeah . And Lieutenant

00:19.710 --> 00:21.432
Colonel Jason potter . I'm the

00:21.432 --> 00:23.377
commanding officer of the mm to 66

00:23.377 --> 00:25.599
Fighting griffins really , we had three

00:25.599 --> 00:27.432
goals for deployment . First was

00:27.432 --> 00:29.321
operating in a high altitude cold

00:29.321 --> 00:30.988
weather environment . Mac tap

00:30.988 --> 00:33.154
integration with H . M . L . 8 to 69 .

00:33.154 --> 00:35.321
And then for us to complete our Marine

00:35.321 --> 00:37.432
Corps combat readiness evaluation for

00:37.432 --> 00:39.599
our upcoming deployment . And first to

00:39.599 --> 00:41.710
counter your 22 We did two events out

00:41.710 --> 00:43.377
here for our combat readiness

00:43.377 --> 00:45.750
evaluation . One of those events was a

00:45.760 --> 00:47.649
tactical recovery of aircraft and

00:47.649 --> 00:49.704
personnel event which was integrated

00:49.704 --> 00:51.871
with HTML 8-69 as well as we conducted

00:51.871 --> 00:54.093
an air assault , The trap event that we

00:54.093 --> 00:56.149
did . There was a simulated down air

00:56.149 --> 00:58.371
force pilot and we were able to come in

00:58.371 --> 01:00.538
with the to be 22 and actually land in

01:00.538 --> 01:02.900
the objective area and recover him . We

01:02.900 --> 01:05.011
also integrated our flight surgeon as

01:05.011 --> 01:07.178
well as our core men into that event .

01:07.178 --> 01:09.067
Once they were on the back of the

01:09.067 --> 01:11.122
aircraft , they had to stabilize the

01:11.122 --> 01:12.956
patient . Once he was stabilized

01:12.956 --> 01:15.122
properly strapped in the aircraft , we

01:15.122 --> 01:15.020
were able to get him out of the zone

01:15.020 --> 01:17.353
and into a higher level echelon of care .

01:17.353 --> 01:19.520
The squadron learned that are planning

01:19.520 --> 01:21.742
considerations are very different . You

01:21.742 --> 01:21.530
know , how many combat troops that we

01:21.530 --> 01:23.474
can actually carry at sea level is

01:23.474 --> 01:25.697
different from how many we can carry up

01:25.697 --> 01:27.910
here in Colorado in the 6000 ft plus

01:27.910 --> 01:30.370
altitudes . I also learned how to

01:30.380 --> 01:32.602
better integrate with our H . M . L . A

01:32.602 --> 01:34.800
counterparts and ultimately it made us

01:34.810 --> 01:36.910
better assault support squadron and

01:36.920 --> 01:39.640
more combat capable . The squadron will

01:39.640 --> 01:41.862
look to do more things like this in the

01:41.862 --> 01:45.360
future . Yeah .
