00:01.440 --> 00:04.740
Tropic Air IR T is a program that

00:04.750 --> 00:07.000
essentially marries up the civilian

00:07.000 --> 00:09.750
communities that apply to have the

00:09.760 --> 00:11.871
different service components from the

00:11.871 --> 00:14.260
military to fill a need and essentially

00:14.260 --> 00:16.260
the military will come down to fill

00:16.260 --> 00:18.093
that need that the community has

00:18.093 --> 00:20.940
requested . The main focus for the

00:20.940 --> 00:23.410
military is training . Uh the added

00:23.410 --> 00:26.590
benefit is to the community because

00:26.600 --> 00:30.000
with tropic hair 2022 , the request

00:30.000 --> 00:31.910
from the island of Kauai was

00:31.910 --> 00:34.130
specifically optometry , medical and

00:34.130 --> 00:36.230
dental services for the community ,

00:36.240 --> 00:38.390
essentially low access areas . The

00:38.390 --> 00:41.000
military then comes and fills that gap

00:41.010 --> 00:43.320
by providing licensed physicians that

00:43.320 --> 00:45.820
can provide those health care services

00:45.830 --> 00:47.830
and bolstering their readiness that

00:47.830 --> 00:49.830
they couldn't otherwise get back at

00:49.830 --> 00:53.210
home . It's mainly a lot of our drill

00:53.210 --> 00:54.877
status guardsman drill status

00:54.877 --> 00:57.043
reservists that come down . This is an

00:57.043 --> 00:59.154
opportunity for them to enhance their

00:59.154 --> 01:01.154
readiness skills through hands on ,

01:01.154 --> 01:03.377
real world training . The total cost to

01:03.377 --> 01:05.543
the community is no cost . So it is no

01:05.543 --> 01:07.488
cost services provided by licensed

01:07.488 --> 01:09.599
professionals through the military to

01:09.599 --> 01:11.800
fill that need . This training is very

01:11.800 --> 01:13.911
important for the D . O . D . Because

01:13.911 --> 01:16.022
it bolsters wartime readiness ensures

01:16.022 --> 01:18.340
that members are ready to deploy for

01:18.340 --> 01:21.200
either stateside or overseas

01:21.210 --> 01:22.210
contingencies .

01:31.040 --> 01:32.260
Yeah ,
