Master Sergeant Samuel Burke with the

00:02.961 --> 00:05.183
35th security forces squadron . Today ,

00:05.183 --> 00:08.170
we responded to a down pilot scenario

00:08.180 --> 00:10.180
here on Massawa Air Base . For this

00:10.180 --> 00:13.220
scenario , we have F-16s that fly out

00:13.229 --> 00:15.680
of our installation and one of the

00:15.689 --> 00:18.850
F-16s suffered a crash on the way back .

00:18.860 --> 00:21.659
And our security forces defenders were

00:21.670 --> 00:25.200
given the mission to ensure the pilot

00:25.209 --> 00:27.431
was rescued and brought to safety . Our

00:27.431 --> 00:29.680
defenders did a outstanding job with

00:29.690 --> 00:31.634
receiving the mission . They did a

00:31.634 --> 00:34.759
great job with navigating through heavy

00:34.770 --> 00:37.659
woodlands and were able to utilize all

00:37.669 --> 00:39.780
of their equipment to the best of the

00:39.780 --> 00:42.639
capability and ultimately achieve the

00:42.650 --> 00:44.950
mission accomplishment of rescuing the

00:44.959 --> 00:47.270
down pilot . They learned some troop

00:47.279 --> 00:49.360
leading procedures and this mounted

00:49.369 --> 00:51.930
tactics . They also learned how to

00:51.939 --> 00:54.200
operate in a contested environment and

00:54.209 --> 00:56.459
how to utilize grid coordinates to

00:56.470 --> 00:58.599
locate and rescue an individual when

00:58.610 --> 00:59.159
called upon .
