00:00.009 --> 00:02.065
Millar to me is the backbone of what

00:02.065 --> 00:04.269
space does . It's not just supporting

00:04.280 --> 00:06.670
Air Force , it's supporting Army Navy ,

00:06.679 --> 00:08.790
Air Force , Space Force and Marines .

00:08.790 --> 00:10.957
We'd had a lot of experience including

00:10.957 --> 00:13.012
the first Persian Gulf War where the

00:13.012 --> 00:14.846
army couldn't talk to the Navy ,

00:14.846 --> 00:14.829
neither could talk to the Air Force .

00:14.840 --> 00:17.100
And that was a very big problem . The

00:17.110 --> 00:19.054
government knew that they needed a

00:19.054 --> 00:21.221
joint system to be able to communicate

00:21.221 --> 00:23.443
across all modes of conflict to include

00:23.443 --> 00:25.610
nuclear exchange . Millar was designed

00:25.610 --> 00:25.495
to be able to , in all of those

00:25.504 --> 00:27.875
environments . We have 24 7 command and

00:27.885 --> 00:30.052
control to the satellite which is very

00:30.052 --> 00:32.274
rare with any of the other satellites .

00:32.274 --> 00:34.615
Users can confidently talk on Millar

00:35.194 --> 00:37.416
and not have to worry about adversaries

00:37.416 --> 00:39.583
either jamming them or listening in on

00:39.583 --> 00:41.583
them . It really is the most secure

00:41.583 --> 00:43.750
form of communication for our nation's

00:43.750 --> 00:45.583
leaders , communications , video

00:45.583 --> 00:47.985
targeting vectors . It's very relied

00:47.994 --> 00:50.216
upon by the the military in the field .

00:50.216 --> 00:52.383
After all these years , even after the

00:52.383 --> 00:54.438
nineties , our space environment has

00:54.438 --> 00:56.494
changed , our threats have changed .

00:56.494 --> 00:58.716
But really the legacy of Milstar is the

00:58.716 --> 01:00.938
fact that it's still flying . We've had

01:00.938 --> 01:00.729
it for a long time . But our

01:00.740 --> 01:02.796
adversaries are still catching up to

01:02.796 --> 01:04.740
that . One of the Space force core

01:04.740 --> 01:06.851
values is connection and Millar is an

01:06.851 --> 01:06.720
invaluable resource that connects us to

01:06.730 --> 01:08.786
war fighters and partners around the

01:08.786 --> 01:10.897
world . The way Millar contributes to

01:10.897 --> 01:13.008
the core values of the space force is

01:13.008 --> 01:15.063
one in particular is commitment . We

01:15.063 --> 01:17.230
run a 24 hour apps for and each person

01:17.230 --> 01:19.452
has to be just as dedicated as the next

01:19.452 --> 01:21.452
in order to accomplish a successful

01:21.452 --> 01:23.452
mission . Millar one I think can be

01:23.452 --> 01:25.619
tied to the warrior spirit of the Ford

01:25.619 --> 01:27.452
Space Operations Squadron . It's

01:27.452 --> 01:29.397
enduring and kind of like the four

01:29.397 --> 01:31.508
Space Operations squadron , no matter

01:31.508 --> 01:33.786
what , no matter the time or the place ,

01:33.786 --> 01:33.144
you know , we're going to be there for

01:33.154 --> 01:35.210
the war fighter and for our nation's

01:35.210 --> 01:37.432
leaders providing coms for them all the

01:37.432 --> 01:37.144
time .
