00:00.400 --> 00:01.634
We’re at Osan Air Base.

00:01.634 --> 00:02.002
We're here

00:02.002 --> 00:05.438
to hold the basic enlisted strategic
thinking classes, also known as BEST.

00:05.805 --> 00:09.442
It was developed by Master Sergeant
Daniel de Jesus in the US Space Force.

00:09.809 --> 00:13.446
It's a department of the Air Force
curriculum, and it's meant to develop

00:13.446 --> 00:15.181
strategic
thinking for the enlisted member.

00:15.181 --> 00:20.020
This class is targeted for E-7 through E-5
and being in Korea.

00:20.220 --> 00:23.723
We felt that it's an important audience
to try to target this material for.

00:24.391 --> 00:26.760
As we offer it to lower rankings.

00:27.027 --> 00:30.797
And they get more exposure
toward this towards strategic thinking.

00:31.097 --> 00:33.600
Critical thinking is going to help overall

00:34.401 --> 00:36.836
future generations
kind of building them up.

00:37.370 --> 00:38.571
We're just really appreciative.

00:38.571 --> 00:39.339
We're really appreciative

00:39.339 --> 00:42.142
to the Space Force for the opportunity
to implement this course.

00:42.542 --> 00:44.444
I think that right
now, with the Space Force

00:44.444 --> 00:47.881
being a newer service branch,
one of the great things about it

00:47.881 --> 00:51.017
is that they support ingenuity
and they support fresh ideas.

00:51.151 --> 00:55.522
What stood out to me is that this class
that enables us to not only understand

00:55.522 --> 00:59.025
strategic thinking, but being able
to communicate that to our senior leaders.
