WEBVTT

00:00.040 --> 00:03.610
we supported movement from a couple of

00:03.610 --> 00:05.832
missions . Movement from Louisville , a

00:05.832 --> 00:07.940
group of a company of mps down to

00:07.940 --> 00:11.490
Mayfield to support an existing

00:11.500 --> 00:13.667
detachment there already . And we also

00:13.667 --> 00:15.889
supported transporting the Chief of the

00:15.889 --> 00:17.944
National Guard Bureau as well as the

00:17.944 --> 00:20.360
state tag to assess the damage um

00:21.140 --> 00:24.090
around Mayfield and Kentucky Lake . So

00:24.090 --> 00:26.590
we were a standby crew that was ready

00:26.600 --> 00:28.700
to uh , at a moment's notice once we

00:28.700 --> 00:31.900
heard that the Mayfield , the incident

00:31.910 --> 00:34.970
happened , we had three or three crews

00:34.970 --> 00:37.026
standby able to take that company of

00:37.026 --> 00:39.640
mps down um doing with aircraft .

00:39.650 --> 00:41.594
Obviously they're able to get down

00:41.594 --> 00:43.817
there and half the time or less than it

00:43.817 --> 00:45.761
would take to drive . We could get

00:45.761 --> 00:47.872
boots on the ground . Um , as quickly

00:47.872 --> 00:49.872
as we could as well as get a aerial

00:49.872 --> 00:52.450
view for those military police to kind

00:52.450 --> 00:54.617
of understand the situation that we're

00:54.617 --> 00:56.783
getting into . As far as assessing the

00:56.783 --> 00:59.850
damage that the tornadoes had caused in

00:59.850 --> 01:02.770
Mayfield , the state dedicates as much

01:02.770 --> 01:05.830
as , as as we need . As far as putting

01:05.830 --> 01:07.774
people , wrench turners , pilots ,

01:07.774 --> 01:11.330
operations , uh , personnel , um , to

01:11.330 --> 01:13.890
support these kind of missions . So , I

01:13.900 --> 01:16.122
mean , there's a lot of work from a lot

01:16.122 --> 01:18.233
of different people that that kind of

01:18.233 --> 01:20.456
go into getting these aircraft ready to

01:20.456 --> 01:22.678
fly . And then in the air we're , we're

01:22.678 --> 01:24.400
ready all the time . Um , when

01:24.400 --> 01:26.067
something like this happens ,

01:26.067 --> 01:28.460
Especially I can speak for myself and ,

01:28.460 --> 01:30.627
and and and and those I associate with

01:30.627 --> 01:32.571
in the Kentucky Guard , you know ,

01:32.571 --> 01:34.682
we'll we'll be there 100% of the time

01:34.682 --> 01:36.904
to help out in any way we can . We just

01:36.904 --> 01:39.127
we just want to help . So that's that's

01:39.127 --> 01:41.460
what we're all here for . Mm hmm .
