00:00.289 --> 00:02.289
Guard response is an operation that

00:02.289 --> 00:04.289
allows rotational training units to

00:04.289 --> 00:06.345
come and train and make sure they're

00:06.345 --> 00:08.511
proficient at all of their tasks . And

00:08.511 --> 00:10.400
we make sure that those units are

00:10.400 --> 00:12.567
conducting the mission command portion

00:12.567 --> 00:14.678
of their job according to doctrines ,

00:14.678 --> 00:14.489
some of the capabilities that the 2nd

00:14.500 --> 00:16.860
78 brings to the fight is to

00:16.870 --> 00:19.139
incorporate military assistance to

00:19.149 --> 00:21.729
civilian authorities in case of a large

00:21.739 --> 00:24.629
scale attack , such as a nuclear

00:24.639 --> 00:26.680
detonation , chemical biological

00:26.690 --> 00:29.440
radiological response or a natural

00:29.450 --> 00:31.569
catastrophe that requires larger

00:31.579 --> 00:33.801
assistance than what the National Guard

00:33.801 --> 00:35.746
can provide . What is unique about

00:35.746 --> 00:37.857
Muskat Urban Training Center . It's a

00:37.857 --> 00:40.099
really great piece of property . It has

00:40.110 --> 00:41.999
a lot of space for these units to

00:41.999 --> 00:43.888
conduct their operations . So for

00:43.888 --> 00:45.777
example , there's a mass casualty

00:45.777 --> 00:47.721
decontamination line that's set up

00:47.721 --> 00:49.666
there , opportunity for search and

00:49.666 --> 00:51.832
rescue units to go out and dig through

00:51.832 --> 00:53.888
rubble and recover victims . There's

00:53.888 --> 00:56.054
buildings that light on fire and smoke

00:56.054 --> 00:58.054
and real world training . There's a

00:58.054 --> 01:00.277
subway station there , there's actually

01:00.277 --> 01:00.209
a sunken village so they can do air

01:00.220 --> 01:02.053
extraction . So everybody that's

01:02.053 --> 01:04.164
involved in this operation really has

01:04.164 --> 01:06.053
an opportunity to have real world

01:06.053 --> 01:07.887
training and it's a really great

01:07.887 --> 01:10.053
training facility . I've been here for

01:10.053 --> 01:12.109
three iterations now and , and every

01:12.109 --> 01:14.331
time they impress me with the amount of

01:14.331 --> 01:16.442
assets that they have for soldiers to

01:16.442 --> 01:18.387
utilize 78 soldiers are supporting

01:18.387 --> 01:20.553
Guardian response in various different

01:20.553 --> 01:23.129
roles . Some are working as liaisons to

01:23.139 --> 01:25.028
the different task force that are

01:25.028 --> 01:26.750
assigned to the mission here ,

01:26.750 --> 01:29.559
providing coordination , personnel

01:29.610 --> 01:32.510
assets and deconflicting problems as

01:32.519 --> 01:35.000
they arise . A lot of our soldiers are

01:35.010 --> 01:37.232
first responders in real life . So when

01:37.232 --> 01:39.288
they come to an exercise like this ,

01:39.288 --> 01:41.066
they are able to kind of better

01:41.066 --> 01:43.232
integrate with a lot of these units on

01:43.232 --> 01:42.339
the ground because they have that real

01:42.349 --> 01:43.139
world experience .
