00:09.109 --> 00:11.276
In a move to raise the bar on physical

00:11.276 --> 00:13.387
fitness and professionalism . Service

00:13.387 --> 00:15.609
members are now required to take a mock

00:15.609 --> 00:17.776
physical fitness test within the first

00:17.776 --> 00:19.720
five days of enlisted professional

00:19.720 --> 00:21.776
military education courses that last

00:21.776 --> 00:23.942
more than 20 days , the new guidelines

00:23.942 --> 00:25.776
cover not only physical training

00:25.776 --> 00:27.442
standards but also dressed in

00:27.442 --> 00:29.387
appearance requirements . Students

00:29.387 --> 00:31.553
attending any course will need to wear

00:31.553 --> 00:31.284
their service dress uniform for

00:31.295 --> 00:33.735
graduation and at least one additional

00:33.744 --> 00:36.744
academic day commas have flexibility to

00:36.755 --> 00:38.825
make exceptions based on specific

00:38.834 --> 00:40.395
mission needs or unforeseen

00:40.404 --> 00:43.790
circumstances . Air Force and Marine

00:43.799 --> 00:45.799
Corps units are working together to

00:45.799 --> 00:47.910
improve their abilities with remotely

00:47.910 --> 00:49.966
piloted aircraft or RPAS Airman with

00:49.966 --> 00:52.132
the 4 32nd at Creech Air Force Base in

00:52.132 --> 00:54.132
Nevada made history over the summer

00:54.132 --> 00:56.132
with two firsts bringing an MQ nine

00:56.132 --> 00:58.270
reaper into a marine exercise at 29

00:58.279 --> 01:00.390
Palms , then later landing one of the

01:00.390 --> 01:02.446
aircraft at Camp Pendleton , both in

01:02.446 --> 01:04.446
California . They worked with their

01:04.446 --> 01:06.557
marine counterparts who brought their

01:06.557 --> 01:08.501
own remotely piloted aircraft unit

01:08.501 --> 01:10.223
online in the past few years .

01:10.223 --> 01:12.390
Officials say the mutual benefit comes

01:12.390 --> 01:14.335
from the Air Force's knowledge and

01:14.335 --> 01:16.557
experience base with RPS and the Marine

01:16.557 --> 01:18.557
Corps knowledge of operating in the

01:18.557 --> 01:22.400
Indo Pacific theater developers working

01:22.410 --> 01:24.521
on A I software and autonomous flight

01:24.521 --> 01:26.521
tested an unmanned aerial system at

01:26.521 --> 01:28.466
Duke Field just north of Eglin Air

01:28.466 --> 01:30.577
Force Base Florida . It was the first

01:30.577 --> 01:32.743
flight of an Osprey MK three outfitted

01:32.743 --> 01:34.854
with the equipment to make the test .

01:34.854 --> 01:36.854
It's a system small enough to be in

01:36.854 --> 01:39.021
safe proximity to other aircraft . The

01:39.021 --> 01:41.077
focus was on a watchdog feature that

01:41.077 --> 01:43.077
successfully disengaged the A I and

01:43.077 --> 01:45.132
returned the craft to a safe point .

01:45.132 --> 01:47.299
It's part of the new autonomy data and

01:47.299 --> 01:49.410
A I experimentation proving ground at

01:49.410 --> 01:51.577
Egland Range . The goal is to make A I

01:51.577 --> 01:53.410
and autonomy operational through

01:53.410 --> 01:55.466
experimentation and testing . That's

01:55.466 --> 01:57.521
your look around the Air Force . I'm

01:57.521 --> 01:57.230
staff sergeant , Jasmine Granger .
