00:00.009 --> 00:01.787
This is an incredibly important

00:01.787 --> 00:03.880
exercise for us . In this scenario ,

00:03.910 --> 00:05.688
Amen have gone through chemical

00:05.688 --> 00:09.539
biological responses and also

00:09.600 --> 00:12.359
non-chemical biological responses , and

00:12.359 --> 00:14.303
today we're exercising the medevac

00:14.303 --> 00:16.415
scenario for those that are injured .

00:16.415 --> 00:18.526
This is the first time ever doing our

00:18.526 --> 00:20.950
joint exercise with our army brethren ,

00:20.959 --> 00:23.126
which we really appreciate . It's such

00:23.126 --> 00:25.348
a fantastic opportunity . So 169th flew

00:25.348 --> 00:27.126
in , they medevac , a couple of

00:27.126 --> 00:29.070
different scenarios . And in these

00:29.070 --> 00:30.792
scenarios , combat medic . are

00:30.792 --> 00:32.959
practicing how to prepare patients for

00:32.959 --> 00:35.237
a medevac , how to call in the medevac ,

00:35.237 --> 00:37.459
how to load the medevac , stabilize the

00:37.459 --> 00:39.570
patients . In addition , our airfield

00:39.570 --> 00:41.626
managers , our traffic controllers ,

00:41.626 --> 00:43.515
they're also able to bring in the

00:43.515 --> 00:45.626
practice , bringing in the helicopter

00:45.626 --> 00:47.792
both here at GO training in an austere

00:47.792 --> 00:49.959
landing environment . Just having this

00:49.959 --> 00:51.959
opportunity to train joint with the

00:51.959 --> 00:54.126
army is absolutely phenomenal . We are

00:54.126 --> 00:56.237
getting a ton of lessons learned , so

00:56.237 --> 00:58.348
it's a real win-win for both units on

00:58.348 --> 00:58.150
this side . Getting to train with this .

00:58.319 --> 01:01.590
medevac unit is absolutely critical .

01:01.840 --> 01:03.919
Getting the joint aspect that really

01:03.919 --> 01:06.030
fits into the we're Stronger Together

01:06.030 --> 01:08.252
aspect of Tinker Strong . We must train

01:08.252 --> 01:10.530
like we fight and we won't fight alone .

01:10.530 --> 01:12.697
Having this opportunity now to train ,

01:12.697 --> 01:14.863
train , train so that we are ready and

01:14.863 --> 01:16.975
our airmen are ready and our soldiers

01:16.975 --> 01:19.030
are ready is absolutely imperative .

01:19.030 --> 01:20.975
And so I just cannot thank the 169

01:20.975 --> 01:20.599
enough for being a part of this , and I

01:20.599 --> 01:22.680
hope to continue to build on this

01:22.680 --> 01:24.791
relationship so that it is beneficial

01:24.791 --> 01:26.902
for them as well as beneficial for us

01:26.902 --> 01:27.129
in the future .
