00:00.000 --> 00:02.167
over the course of the last week , the

00:02.167 --> 00:04.278
100 fighter wing has been conducted a

00:04.278 --> 00:06.333
large scale readiness exercise which

00:06.333 --> 00:08.056
were practicing mobilizing and

00:08.056 --> 00:10.056
deploying our F sixteen's for major

00:10.056 --> 00:12.222
combat operations overseas . What that

00:12.222 --> 00:14.870
consisted of was launching 12 to 14 F

00:14.870 --> 00:18.690
16 aircraft as well as building up and

00:18.700 --> 00:22.645
moving 260 ton Tons of cargo as well as

00:22.645 --> 00:25.235
330 personnel to support combat

00:25.245 --> 00:27.412
simulated combat operations overseas .

00:27.655 --> 00:29.711
In this exercise , we conducted in a

00:29.711 --> 00:32.835
very short no notice time frame , which

00:32.835 --> 00:34.891
was a challenge for the team to make

00:34.891 --> 00:36.724
all that possible , generate the

00:36.724 --> 00:38.779
aircraft pack up , move the cargo as

00:38.779 --> 00:41.105
well as process our personnel to to

00:41.105 --> 00:43.280
make that happen . So the personnel

00:43.280 --> 00:45.330
deployment function is to ensure

00:45.340 --> 00:47.480
eligibility and to receive briefings

00:47.480 --> 00:49.647
that dip lawyers need when a member is

00:49.647 --> 00:51.869
deployed . We do have to make sure that

00:51.869 --> 00:54.036
their medical records are up to date .

00:54.036 --> 00:56.091
They have , they have a accurate dog

00:56.091 --> 00:57.860
tag cat card . They just have

00:57.870 --> 00:59.648
everything that they need to be

00:59.648 --> 01:01.537
successful as they enter into the

01:01.537 --> 01:03.537
deployed location . I would say the

01:03.537 --> 01:05.759
most difficult thing about this process

01:05.759 --> 01:07.592
is just timing , It's Constantly

01:07.592 --> 01:09.592
changing . You never know when that

01:09.592 --> 01:11.370
aircraft is coming and going so

01:11.370 --> 01:13.314
adapting to that , it has been the

01:13.314 --> 01:15.537
hardest part um let alone shift changes

01:15.537 --> 01:17.648
turnover in there . Um , you throw in

01:17.648 --> 01:20.120
some anti terrorism and you throw in

01:20.120 --> 01:22.550
some active shooter that that gets

01:22.550 --> 01:25.140
pretty challenging as you have 3050

01:25.140 --> 01:27.030
airmen in here trying to process

01:27.030 --> 01:28.697
through and making sure their

01:28.697 --> 01:30.919
eligibility is correct on top of that .

01:31.010 --> 01:33.121
The one thing that is so important is

01:33.121 --> 01:35.232
how rapid we are able to get , deploy

01:35.232 --> 01:37.010
hours at the door , check their

01:37.010 --> 01:39.066
eligibility , get them the briefings

01:39.066 --> 01:41.066
that is needed . It is a very quick

01:41.066 --> 01:43.121
paced procedure and I think that the

01:43.121 --> 01:45.121
PDF does very good at it in a large

01:45.121 --> 01:47.288
scale exercise like this . We're going

01:47.288 --> 01:49.343
to make it as hard as possible . And

01:49.343 --> 01:51.566
the challenge of this exercise was , it

01:51.566 --> 01:53.732
was very short notice . And so you can

01:53.732 --> 01:55.732
imagine making this whole operation

01:55.732 --> 01:57.910
happen In a 2-4 day window is a lot of

01:57.910 --> 02:00.077
moving parts and I can't be prouder of

02:00.077 --> 02:02.243
the of the innovation , the work ethic

02:02.243 --> 02:04.466
and the efficiency of our operations to

02:04.466 --> 02:03.900
make it happen .
