00:05.140 --> 00:06.100
mhm mm hmm ,

00:10.940 --> 00:11.940
mm hmm ,

00:18.340 --> 00:19.340
mm hmm .

00:27.240 --> 00:30.690
I love you Over the course of a few

00:30.690 --> 00:32.801
months , a lot of planning going on .

00:32.801 --> 00:34.912
We as players , we're kind of showing

00:34.912 --> 00:36.968
up day of and executing with limited

00:36.968 --> 00:39.470
knowledge . This being our third ace

00:39.480 --> 00:41.720
exercise over the course of the last 18

00:41.720 --> 00:43.887
months . Uh certainly improvement from

00:43.887 --> 00:45.942
the first as a commander . It's good

00:45.942 --> 00:47.942
for me to be here participating and

00:47.942 --> 00:49.887
seeing firsthand and kind of where

00:49.887 --> 00:51.942
we've come from , where we're at and

00:51.942 --> 00:54.053
certainly where we can be in the next

00:54.053 --> 00:56.276
few months . I think that's been pretty

00:56.276 --> 00:55.350
neat . Just kind of seeing how people

00:55.350 --> 00:57.183
going outside their comfort zone

00:57.183 --> 00:59.350
outside of what they're typically used

00:59.350 --> 01:03.230
to doing . Our operations

01:03.240 --> 01:05.910
ranged from setting up the fob ,

01:05.920 --> 01:07.864
setting up the tents , getting the

01:07.864 --> 01:10.650
power going to maintaining the aircraft

01:10.660 --> 01:13.140
that were out here . Originally we

01:13.140 --> 01:15.980
started off with the aircraft unfold

01:15.990 --> 01:18.157
and then from there actually launching

01:18.157 --> 01:20.323
that aircraft out . We were successful

01:20.323 --> 01:22.490
in doing that in the first day Because

01:22.490 --> 01:24.546
we have to stay at home station . We

01:24.546 --> 01:26.712
actually launched the additional three

01:26.712 --> 01:30.360
aircraft from our normal

01:30.370 --> 01:32.810
parking spot , keeping comms with our

01:32.820 --> 01:34.931
guys over at forward operating site ,

01:34.931 --> 01:37.030
keeping in contact with them on the

01:37.040 --> 01:39.096
status of the aircraft and what they

01:39.096 --> 01:41.330
need . I do believe that my team can do

01:41.330 --> 01:43.386
this in the real world scenario . We

01:43.386 --> 01:45.552
were really getting some good training

01:45.552 --> 01:47.386
on our security forces augment t

01:47.386 --> 01:49.190
responsibilities . My previous

01:49.190 --> 01:51.134
deployment experience was with the

01:51.134 --> 01:53.301
Marine Corps and so this is a lot more

01:53.301 --> 01:55.357
in line with what I was used to then

01:55.440 --> 01:57.450
vehicles on the move sir . Okay ,

02:09.740 --> 02:12.900
fine . Being able to communicate the

02:12.900 --> 02:14.900
needs of medical , finding out what

02:14.900 --> 02:17.067
they need to hear . Um and how we need

02:17.067 --> 02:19.011
to relay the information . We have

02:19.011 --> 02:21.233
already found that there is some jargon

02:21.233 --> 02:23.233
that we use and they're coming back

02:23.233 --> 02:25.400
around throughout our a fsc that maybe

02:25.400 --> 02:27.622
isn't completely clear or understood to

02:27.622 --> 02:29.890
them and vice versa with every scenario

02:29.890 --> 02:33.400
that plays out , we find efficiencies

02:33.520 --> 02:35.687
that we can address through training .

02:35.687 --> 02:37.909
But I feel like overall if we needed to

02:37.909 --> 02:40.020
go tomorrow we are more than ready to

02:40.020 --> 02:42.353
go . We've got some solid N . C . O . S .

02:42.353 --> 02:44.520
Um that are ready to to take charge of

02:44.520 --> 02:46.687
some very motivated young airmen and I

02:46.687 --> 02:48.798
feel like we would definitely be able

02:48.798 --> 02:48.030
to handle a real world mission .

02:52.040 --> 02:53.651
There's gonna be pretty much

02:53.651 --> 02:56.150
unconscious and every like twice a

02:56.150 --> 02:58.317
minute just make like a gasping breath

02:58.317 --> 03:00.750
like that and that's it . Okay .

03:02.360 --> 03:04.416
Yeah go out there . Qrf go out there

03:04.416 --> 03:06.416
and get the two injured females and

03:06.416 --> 03:08.527
bring them back to the Ec . P . Where

03:08.527 --> 03:10.638
we can clear them . We'll get them to

03:10.638 --> 03:10.220
medical . We're going to see if they

03:10.220 --> 03:12.700
have any information . Just the females .

03:12.710 --> 03:14.880
So here you can go out go out just the

03:14.880 --> 03:17.850
three of you because we have

03:18.640 --> 03:20.807
limited personnel . We can't leave our

03:20.807 --> 03:23.570
clinic unmanned so we have to pull from

03:23.580 --> 03:25.802
maintenance , security forces , anybody

03:25.802 --> 03:27.858
who's available to help us transport

03:27.858 --> 03:29.747
patients . All right . You guys .

03:33.440 --> 03:35.560
Okay . So yes exactly . If you guys

03:35.560 --> 03:37.671
want to kind of grab reach across all

03:37.671 --> 03:40.970
over the world 123 and roll . When we

03:40.970 --> 03:43.240
do litter carries , it requires four

03:43.250 --> 03:45.600
people per litter and we don't even

03:45.600 --> 03:47.656
have that many people to supply from

03:47.656 --> 03:50.070
the clinic . So all of the manpower

03:50.070 --> 03:52.126
teams have been augmented these from

03:52.126 --> 03:55.730
other locations . Yeah , so bored

03:55.730 --> 03:59.700
out . We want positive because

03:59.700 --> 04:01.700
we are at a fob and we have limited

04:01.700 --> 04:03.589
resources . We only would carry a

04:03.589 --> 04:05.811
couple of units with us . So once those

04:05.811 --> 04:08.033
units are used up , which can happen on

04:08.033 --> 04:10.530
a single patient , we have what we call

04:10.530 --> 04:12.530
a walking blood bank . So typically

04:12.530 --> 04:14.586
will have the blood types of all the

04:14.586 --> 04:16.586
members that are on the fob and for

04:16.586 --> 04:18.808
example that member was O positive . So

04:18.808 --> 04:20.863
we put out a call for any O positive

04:20.863 --> 04:20.730
members to come in and we would

04:20.730 --> 04:22.841
literally harvest blood from them and

04:22.841 --> 04:24.897
then use that blood and transfuse it

04:24.897 --> 04:27.119
into whatever emergent patients that we

04:27.119 --> 04:29.341
have . The point of the whole exercises

04:29.341 --> 04:31.452
to kind of take people I think out of

04:31.452 --> 04:33.619
their comfort zones and to say , hey ,

04:33.619 --> 04:35.841
you're , you're performing with limited

04:35.841 --> 04:35.420
supplies , limited resources and

04:35.420 --> 04:37.500
limited communication to the people

04:37.500 --> 04:39.667
that you would typically have . So you

04:39.667 --> 04:41.778
have to make do with the supplies and

04:41.778 --> 04:44.000
the resources that are available to you

04:44.000 --> 04:46.370
on the fob . Seacat is kind of that

04:46.370 --> 04:48.870
medical connection between the forward

04:48.870 --> 04:51.260
operating base and the more permanent

04:51.640 --> 04:53.880
medical fixtures based on where we're

04:53.880 --> 04:56.110
at in the war . If we are at a location

04:56.110 --> 04:58.620
that doesn't have medical services

04:58.620 --> 05:00.620
readily available , we need to make

05:00.620 --> 05:02.731
sure that we can get our members home

05:02.731 --> 05:04.842
and safe and to their families in one

05:04.842 --> 05:07.009
piece . And sometimes that requires us

05:07.009 --> 05:09.760
to fly them to higher levels of care .

05:10.040 --> 05:13.150
Yes , I do think my team is capable

05:13.150 --> 05:15.950
ready and willing to perform this

05:15.950 --> 05:18.290
mission When called upon , We brought

05:18.300 --> 05:20.940
everything we needed to live for 96

05:20.940 --> 05:23.920
hours because of time and distance and

05:23.920 --> 05:26.840
terrain . This isn't a place that you

05:26.840 --> 05:29.007
could just drive to . So we had to use

05:29.007 --> 05:32.760
air power to project that equipment to

05:32.760 --> 05:34.910
where we needed to be to support the

05:34.910 --> 05:37.021
rescue and recovery mission . I think

05:37.021 --> 05:40.020
the exercise was a success . And I

05:40.020 --> 05:41.742
think not only a success but a

05:41.742 --> 05:42.909
resounding success .

05:56.040 --> 05:58.280
Mm hmm . Okay , mm hmm .

06:07.040 --> 06:09.520
So , my experience in the exercise , we

06:09.520 --> 06:11.576
went out to san clemente island . We

06:11.576 --> 06:14.100
simulated being a downed pilot to where

06:14.100 --> 06:16.211
the PJs would come out there and find

06:16.211 --> 06:18.211
their downed pilots and they rescue

06:18.211 --> 06:20.211
them . They get them there and then

06:20.211 --> 06:22.433
they hoist you out of the water into an

06:22.433 --> 06:24.322
aircraft . For this exercise . We

06:24.322 --> 06:26.433
actually had the Navy involved , they

06:26.433 --> 06:28.544
took us to the Navy ship , we're able

06:28.544 --> 06:30.656
to give us care . And then from there

06:30.656 --> 06:30.580
we got back onto another helicopter

06:30.580 --> 06:32.820
where we went to an airfield . They put

06:32.820 --> 06:34.987
us on a C130 where the cat team worked

06:34.987 --> 06:36.931
on us until they can get it into a

06:36.931 --> 06:36.850
hospital

06:43.340 --> 06:43.550
okay ?
