WEBVTT

00:02.240 --> 00:04.184
So Hearst is the Homeland Response

00:04.184 --> 00:07.929
Force and it's a uh A newer mission

00:07.929 --> 00:10.109
established in 2012 from the Secretary

00:10.109 --> 00:12.310
of Defense , uh , it's in support of

00:12.310 --> 00:14.630
FEMA , the FEMA regions and the states .

00:14.829 --> 00:16.829
It provides a rapid response , uh ,

00:16.829 --> 00:19.350
internal to states that governors can

00:19.350 --> 00:21.870
consent to , um , to respond to , you

00:21.870 --> 00:24.629
know , major or , um , catastrophic sea

00:24.629 --> 00:26.629
burn events , you know , chemical ,

00:26.629 --> 00:28.629
biological , radiological , nuclear

00:28.629 --> 00:31.090
incidents . There's 10 regions within

00:31.090 --> 00:34.209
FEMA . Each FEMA region has a homeland

00:34.209 --> 00:36.098
response force . It's tied to the

00:36.098 --> 00:38.098
states that build up those uh those

00:38.098 --> 00:40.376
regions , um , you know , for Region 3 ,

00:40.376 --> 00:42.709
that's where we are . Um , Pennsylvania ,

00:42.709 --> 00:45.130
has that additional duty , uh , for

00:45.130 --> 00:47.297
their National Guard . Um , you know ,

00:47.297 --> 00:49.297
the mission that we do , we provide

00:49.297 --> 00:51.241
life saving capabilities , uh , in

00:51.241 --> 00:53.463
command and control , search and , uh ,

00:53.463 --> 00:55.130
extractions , mass casualty ,

00:55.130 --> 00:57.569
decontaminations , and medical

00:57.569 --> 01:00.830
stabilization . Uh , in the incident of

01:00.830 --> 01:04.040
a sea burn cat catastrophic disaster ,

01:04.169 --> 01:06.391
we're able to activate within 6 hours ,

01:06.391 --> 01:08.447
get to where we need to provide that

01:08.447 --> 01:10.502
that life saving , uh , capability .

01:11.000 --> 01:13.167
Now , we're comprised of the C2 node ,

01:13.167 --> 01:15.333
uh , that's where we're located here .

01:15.333 --> 01:17.556
Um , but it's also , you know , SurfP ,

01:17.556 --> 01:19.722
uh , the Cur Task Force , and the case

01:19.722 --> 01:22.510
platoons . It is a completely joint

01:22.510 --> 01:25.550
element , so it is both army and air .

01:26.790 --> 01:30.129
The elements of the hearth . C2 ,

01:30.580 --> 01:33.620
200 . Personnel for what we call the

01:33.620 --> 01:35.731
case , which is a casualty assistance

01:35.731 --> 01:37.787
at support element that's made up of

01:37.787 --> 01:39.898
three platoons of 62 packs and then a

01:39.898 --> 01:42.419
small C-2 , and then a Seaborne task

01:42.419 --> 01:46.290
force which it's the same as a surf P .

01:46.419 --> 01:48.419
Other states have surf Ps . Seaorne

01:48.419 --> 01:50.739
Task Force is what falls directly

01:50.739 --> 01:53.580
underneath the . task force is your

01:53.580 --> 01:56.220
workhorse , so they're the ones that

01:56.220 --> 01:59.449
have A 19 man C2 ,

02:00.190 --> 02:02.610
150 man search and extraction team , a

02:02.610 --> 02:06.339
47 man . The Medical team , which is

02:06.339 --> 02:09.720
all airmen , 75 men decon

02:09.720 --> 02:13.300
decontamination team . The 11 man

02:13.300 --> 02:15.490
fatality search and recovery team and

02:15.490 --> 02:18.289
then a small uh 6 man communication

02:18.289 --> 02:20.130
package as well . Yeah , so this

02:20.130 --> 02:22.297
weekend , uh , it prevents us , uh , a

02:22.297 --> 02:24.463
great opportunity to kind of knock the

02:24.463 --> 02:26.297
rust off a little bit , get some

02:26.297 --> 02:28.297
repetitions in because the hearth ,

02:28.297 --> 02:28.289
like I just said , ready to activate

02:28.289 --> 02:30.410
within 6 hours . Uh , we kind of have

02:30.410 --> 02:32.743
to get in there just like anything else ,

02:32.743 --> 02:34.410
crawl , walk , run , um , get

02:34.410 --> 02:36.577
repetitions in so that , you know , in

02:36.577 --> 02:38.299
a World War incident we can be

02:38.299 --> 02:40.521
effective . Every 3 years , every H and

02:40.521 --> 02:42.699
SurfP has to receive an external

02:42.699 --> 02:45.360
evaluation . We call them exitvals . Uh ,

02:45.940 --> 02:48.009
those external evaluations are

02:48.460 --> 02:52.330
conducted by a team , a grading team

02:53.020 --> 02:55.029
that is run out of National Guard

02:55.029 --> 02:58.690
Bureau , and we have so many uh

02:58.690 --> 03:02.490
TENOs that . We are held

03:02.490 --> 03:04.268
to , so we have to meet all the

03:04.268 --> 03:07.440
different TEOs , and there are multiple

03:07.440 --> 03:11.059
TEOs for a HC2 , multiple TEOs for an

03:11.059 --> 03:14.289
S&E section , multiple TEOs for for a

03:14.289 --> 03:16.449
case element , so everyone has has

03:16.449 --> 03:19.449
those different requirements and that's

03:19.449 --> 03:22.570
where once you do that XML , you're

03:22.570 --> 03:26.490
being graded . And eventually we'll get

03:26.490 --> 03:29.940
where that grade stands and then you're

03:29.940 --> 03:32.107
told you're either validated or you're

03:32.107 --> 03:34.273
not . If you're validated , you're now

03:34.273 --> 03:36.496
eligible to be able to exercise outside

03:36.496 --> 03:38.399
of the state , and the validation

03:38.399 --> 03:41.899
ultimately comes from the tax . We are

03:41.899 --> 03:44.389
now a fully validated .
