00:00.209 --> 00:02.153
Members of the 18 th Wing security

00:02.153 --> 00:04.320
Forces participated in a joint service

00:04.320 --> 00:06.487
active shooter drill at the Kadena Air

00:06.487 --> 00:08.598
Base Exchange , July 20th Air Force ,

00:08.598 --> 00:10.653
Staff Sergeant , Adam Steinman , the

00:10.653 --> 00:12.876
NCI for police services spoke about the

00:12.876 --> 00:14.987
exercise . The reason why we're doing

00:14.987 --> 00:17.209
exercises like this is to just solidify

00:17.209 --> 00:19.265
those tts , those tactics techniques

00:19.265 --> 00:18.909
and procedures . And that way we can

00:18.920 --> 00:20.976
all kind of get on the same page and

00:20.976 --> 00:22.976
figure out how each individual team

00:22.976 --> 00:24.976
works off one another . We were the

00:24.976 --> 00:27.031
initial response . So we established

00:27.031 --> 00:26.620
that initial security then we called

00:26.629 --> 00:28.740
follow on forces which were the green

00:28.740 --> 00:30.851
Berets as well as the seal teams with

00:30.851 --> 00:32.962
this . We just establish that initial

00:32.962 --> 00:34.740
security and then maintain that

00:34.740 --> 00:34.505
interoperability with different

00:34.514 --> 00:36.736
branches , different teams and they can

00:36.736 --> 00:38.625
do their thing . So we chose this

00:38.625 --> 00:40.792
specific location just due to its high

00:40.792 --> 00:42.958
traffic environment . This is the BX .

00:42.958 --> 00:45.181
It is a very large BX granted we are in

00:45.181 --> 00:44.875
Japan . However , anywhere in Stateside

00:44.884 --> 00:46.884
where there's a lot of weapons that

00:46.884 --> 00:49.051
could be potentially used . This makes

00:49.051 --> 00:50.940
the perfect layout . What we look

00:50.940 --> 00:53.273
forward to is just also that networking ,

00:53.273 --> 00:55.328
but also just increasing our tactics

00:55.328 --> 00:55.255
and our lethality amongst each other .
