00:03.670 --> 00:05.726
This exercise is very important just

00:05.726 --> 00:07.837
because it is the first exercise held

00:07.837 --> 00:10.059
at her or field that is included all of

00:10.059 --> 00:12.281
MS G . We get to see different crafts ,

00:12.281 --> 00:14.226
different afcs and understand each

00:14.226 --> 00:16.281
other's abilities . The exercise and

00:16.281 --> 00:18.610
the storyline was comprehensive with

00:18.620 --> 00:20.787
different A FSES and different units .

00:20.787 --> 00:22.953
It wasn't just ce focused , it was com

00:22.953 --> 00:26.079
related , it was LRS related this year .

00:26.090 --> 00:29.280
Um ce has been more particular focused

00:29.290 --> 00:31.610
on contingency operations with those

00:31.680 --> 00:33.402
showers just living in tents .

00:36.520 --> 00:39.580
The bivouac itself is a 96 hour

00:39.590 --> 00:42.740
exercise that we execute in order to

00:42.750 --> 00:46.700
showcase contingency style movements

00:46.959 --> 00:49.729
and or operations that we would do if

00:49.740 --> 00:51.796
we needed to get deployed down range

00:51.796 --> 00:53.979
somewhere or to an environment that

00:54.200 --> 00:56.311
where we would basically need to go .

00:56.311 --> 00:58.759
So has to do a lot with meeting certain

00:58.770 --> 01:01.340
tasks , even with possibly meeting

01:01.349 --> 01:05.010
certain timelines that if needed to be

01:05.029 --> 01:07.819
executed where we would go , it could

01:07.830 --> 01:10.900
be done in a timely fashion for

01:10.910 --> 01:12.809
whatever possible commander or

01:13.150 --> 01:15.483
combatant commander would need us to do .

01:17.069 --> 01:19.125
Based on the intel we were doing for

01:19.125 --> 01:21.769
this scenario , the bunker was known to

01:21.779 --> 01:24.209
be producing chemical and or uh

01:24.220 --> 01:26.870
homemade explosive type agents . We

01:26.879 --> 01:29.046
were ordered to go clear that facility

01:29.046 --> 01:31.212
so they could use the surrounding area

01:31.212 --> 01:33.279
to house locals that they were

01:33.290 --> 01:34.290
employing .

01:37.430 --> 01:39.597
The biggest thing every year for a big

01:39.597 --> 01:41.489
wag . And more to follow is the

01:41.500 --> 01:43.889
contingency profile . Um Just preparing

01:43.900 --> 01:45.709
for the next , the next area of

01:45.720 --> 01:48.400
conflict when it comes to that and

01:49.330 --> 01:51.230
cohesiveness between units and

01:51.260 --> 01:53.482
communication , command and control and

01:53.482 --> 01:55.704
executing the mission . That's , that's

01:55.704 --> 01:57.538
the entirety of bac every single

01:59.639 --> 02:01.472
from what I've learned from this

02:01.472 --> 02:03.569
exercise . Uh It , I learned it's

02:03.580 --> 02:06.230
really good to uh network . Get out of

02:06.239 --> 02:08.869
your career field a little bit . Um It

02:08.880 --> 02:11.369
teaches me how to do a little bit of

02:11.380 --> 02:13.649
everybody else's job just because

02:13.949 --> 02:16.060
you're not as ground transportation .

02:16.060 --> 02:18.116
I'm a driver . You're not just doing

02:18.116 --> 02:20.282
driving . When you're setting up these

02:20.282 --> 02:19.889
locations , you're doing everything

02:19.899 --> 02:22.889
from structures to setting up tents to

02:22.899 --> 02:26.240
even , maybe sometimes serving food or

02:26.250 --> 02:28.139
learning how to do uh security .

02:30.220 --> 02:32.276
100% whatever they learn here , they

02:32.276 --> 02:34.500
will bring with them in the future to

02:34.509 --> 02:35.369
future deployments .
