00:05.610 --> 00:08.300
Exercise . Ament Shield is a unit level

00:08.310 --> 00:10.366
exercise where we are practicing our

00:10.366 --> 00:12.199
readiness with our expeditionary

00:12.199 --> 00:14.420
communications . Part of this exercise

00:14.430 --> 00:17.680
taking place at mcas IOI is to exercise

00:17.690 --> 00:19.912
not just the executing the mission part

00:19.912 --> 00:22.134
where we get coms up and running secure

00:22.134 --> 00:24.246
communication capabilities , but also

00:24.246 --> 00:26.079
practicing our logistics and our

00:26.079 --> 00:28.190
readiness of our personnel and deploy

00:28.190 --> 00:29.468
at a moment's notice .

00:33.459 --> 00:36.540
Out here , we are deploying our CFK ,

00:36.549 --> 00:38.970
which is our Com flyway kit . So we

00:38.979 --> 00:41.169
have two parts . We have the Hawkeye

00:41.180 --> 00:44.009
that is behind me and our networking

00:44.020 --> 00:47.720
side . So we are tasked with deploying

00:47.779 --> 00:50.200
our equipment and getting coms up as

00:50.209 --> 00:52.209
quick as possible . I think it's an

00:52.209 --> 00:54.860
incredible opportunity come out here to

00:54.869 --> 00:57.139
be able to be part of an exercise like

00:57.150 --> 00:59.130
this and show the rest of the com

00:59.139 --> 01:01.306
squadron that we're capable of setting

01:01.306 --> 01:04.129
up and completing this . We advise

01:04.139 --> 01:07.069
train equipped and employ the members

01:07.080 --> 01:09.900
to do the CFK . So when we get a tasing ,

01:10.069 --> 01:12.291
they'll come down , they'll come to our

01:12.291 --> 01:14.402
office and we pick the personnel , we

01:14.402 --> 01:16.458
get the equipment ready , we get all

01:16.458 --> 01:18.513
the logistics ready and we get these

01:18.513 --> 01:18.389
guys trained to go out the doors and do

01:18.400 --> 01:22.080
the job . It's important so that these

01:22.089 --> 01:24.750
guys get more repetition so that when

01:24.760 --> 01:26.871
the Real World does come , it's not a

01:26.871 --> 01:30.230
surprise , they're ready to go . The

01:30.239 --> 01:32.230
work of these amazing airmen is

01:32.239 --> 01:34.517
definitely something to be highlighted .

01:34.517 --> 01:36.572
It's hard to make sure that you have

01:36.572 --> 01:38.683
everything packed and ready to go and

01:38.683 --> 01:37.980
to have the confidence to know that you

01:37.989 --> 01:39.933
can perform once you're out into a

01:39.933 --> 01:41.878
remote location , even through the

01:41.878 --> 01:44.045
struggles and the challenges they have

01:44.045 --> 01:46.211
persevered and remained resilient . If

01:46.211 --> 01:48.211
the time comes , if need be for any

01:48.211 --> 01:50.322
agile combat employment or deployment

01:50.322 --> 01:52.433
operations within in the Pacific , we

01:52.433 --> 01:52.800
can say that we are ready .
