00:01.659 --> 00:05.409
Powerful Word 2024 is a multinational

00:05.420 --> 00:07.909
NATO exercise put on by the 91st

00:07.920 --> 00:09.864
Information Warfare group from the

00:09.864 --> 00:12.340
Czech Army that's focused on Simic ,

00:12.350 --> 00:14.329
which is the NATO version of civil

00:14.340 --> 00:16.559
affairs . Right now , we're mostly

00:16.569 --> 00:19.120
working in our civil military cooper

00:19.129 --> 00:21.829
operation center where civilians can

00:21.840 --> 00:24.370
come in and bring up grievances or

00:24.379 --> 00:26.435
anything there , any worries they're

00:26.435 --> 00:30.209
having with the ongoing conflict and

00:30.219 --> 00:32.330
we're also going out and meeting with

00:32.330 --> 00:35.080
local mayors in the area . For me , the

00:35.090 --> 00:37.590
biggest importance of Powerful Word 24

00:37.599 --> 00:40.569
is the fact that we get to work in this

00:40.580 --> 00:42.747
scenario with all of our NATO allies .

00:42.747 --> 00:45.040
So these are people that in a deployed

00:45.049 --> 00:47.299
environment , especially in this this

00:47.310 --> 00:49.254
region of the world , the European

00:49.254 --> 00:51.199
theater , we would work with every

00:51.199 --> 00:53.366
single one of these countries for this

00:53.366 --> 00:55.819
type of exercise . But even if it was a

00:55.830 --> 00:57.719
real operation , it would be very

00:57.719 --> 00:59.886
beneficial to have allies aboard . And

01:00.134 --> 01:02.284
the first thing is that when you have

01:02.294 --> 01:04.127
more nations working on one goal

01:04.127 --> 01:06.684
together , typically each nation has

01:06.694 --> 01:08.916
either a capability gap or some kind of

01:08.916 --> 01:10.972
blind spot . And if you combine more

01:10.972 --> 01:13.334
allies on one goal , typically we cover

01:13.345 --> 01:15.114
for each other , those blind spots .
