00:00.240 --> 00:01.240
Okay ,

00:05.050 --> 00:06.994
My name is Jeff Allen , I'm a tech

00:06.994 --> 00:09.990
sergeant with a 146 CRF out here . It's

00:10.000 --> 00:13.350
Hunter , Liggett brad Schoonover LZ .

00:13.740 --> 00:17.500
And performing exercise out here . CRF

00:17.500 --> 00:19.778
stands for contingency response flight .

00:19.778 --> 00:21.778
What we do is open up landing zones

00:21.778 --> 00:24.000
after the army comes in and we bring in

00:24.000 --> 00:25.667
supplies from either C 1 30 C

00:25.667 --> 00:28.890
seventeen's or other aircraft . We have

00:28.890 --> 00:30.946
a great opportunity to work with the

00:30.946 --> 00:32.779
Travis Air Force base there . CR

00:32.779 --> 00:34.779
contingent and uh we're bringing in

00:34.779 --> 00:36.946
supplies , helping them out with their

00:36.946 --> 00:38.779
exercises as well as getting our

00:38.779 --> 00:41.001
training done . We are the small ones .

00:41.001 --> 00:43.057
What we do is uh so we have a pretty

00:43.057 --> 00:45.150
small small team out here . Uh Drop

00:45.150 --> 00:47.372
zone controllers are operating the drop

00:47.372 --> 00:49.428
zone , making sure it's safe to drop

00:49.428 --> 00:51.317
and then back helped both at home

00:51.317 --> 00:53.483
station and up here we're dropping off

00:53.483 --> 00:55.428
cargo . Uh , simulating real world

00:55.428 --> 00:59.280
constituencies were training to

00:59.280 --> 01:01.058
do both . Air land and air drop

01:01.058 --> 01:03.280
proficiency training out here . So what

01:03.280 --> 01:05.391
we're doing is we're doing an Airdrop

01:05.391 --> 01:07.447
and then air land dropping off cargo

01:07.447 --> 01:09.780
while doing era engine running offloads .

01:09.780 --> 01:11.613
Proficiency is , is critical and

01:11.613 --> 01:13.780
getting out here on the dirt is what's

01:13.780 --> 01:15.947
really important to get our pilots and

01:15.947 --> 01:15.430
aircrew their training . They need to

01:15.430 --> 01:18.280
get the drops accurate . Working with

01:18.280 --> 01:20.447
brother and sisters in the active duty

01:20.447 --> 01:22.613
is really beneficial . It gives us the

01:22.613 --> 01:24.613
opportunity to collaborate and make

01:24.613 --> 01:26.724
sure that we're on the same page just

01:26.724 --> 01:26.400
in case we have to go out the door with

01:26.400 --> 01:29.410
them work with Travis is a talk and

01:29.410 --> 01:31.650
Ramco personnel is really beneficial

01:31.650 --> 01:34.180
for our young air crew members to get

01:34.190 --> 01:36.190
gain experience , especially on the

01:36.190 --> 01:38.412
dirt surfaces . Learning how to do that

01:38.412 --> 01:40.350
both day and night is really beneficial .
