00:00.649 --> 00:03.630
In the multi-domain lab , we get to do

00:03.630 --> 00:06.150
some really cool hands on learning and

00:06.150 --> 00:08.909
exercises with some advanced technology

00:08.909 --> 00:11.670
which replicates like actual missions

00:11.670 --> 00:13.781
that could be done in the Air Force .

00:13.781 --> 00:15.837
Or we're going outside of the MDL we

00:15.837 --> 00:17.948
are executing our plan in which we're

00:17.948 --> 00:19.892
given a scenario where the Chinese

00:19.892 --> 00:22.114
forces have invaded the Japanese island

00:22.114 --> 00:24.579
of Hokkaido . And each of us are part

00:24.579 --> 00:26.746
of a different component and we're all

00:26.746 --> 00:28.912
working together to drive those forces

00:28.912 --> 00:31.023
off the island . The multi-domain lab

00:31.023 --> 00:33.190
is important for warrior ethos because

00:33.190 --> 00:34.968
it immerses cadets into the war

00:34.968 --> 00:37.135
fighting environment early on in their

00:37.135 --> 00:39.246
career . A lot of officers didn't get

00:39.246 --> 00:41.468
this experience until . Much later on ,

00:41.468 --> 00:43.357
so we're letting them jump in and

00:43.357 --> 00:45.357
understand how the various building

00:45.357 --> 00:47.468
blocks of the US military , the joint

00:47.468 --> 00:49.334
force come together . My biggest

00:49.334 --> 00:51.445
takeaways have been the importance of

00:51.445 --> 00:53.778
teamwork . We all have to work together .

00:53.778 --> 00:56.056
We need to have a role we have to play .

00:56.056 --> 00:58.223
We have to execute that role . Um , to

00:58.223 --> 01:00.278
the best of our abilities or else we

01:00.278 --> 01:00.259
can't meet those objectives . This

01:00.259 --> 01:02.092
could be beneficial in my career

01:02.092 --> 01:04.315
because I actually am really interested

01:04.315 --> 01:06.426
in being an intel officer and in this

01:06.426 --> 01:09.230
lab I got to replicate that as I was

01:09.230 --> 01:11.510
part of the space domain in one of our

01:11.510 --> 01:14.190
exercises and so I had to gather intel

01:14.190 --> 01:16.300
and then . Give that and communicate

01:16.300 --> 01:18.356
that to the other domains that I was

01:18.356 --> 01:20.411
working with in that operation . The

01:20.411 --> 01:22.633
multi-domain lab is all about immersing

01:22.633 --> 01:25.470
cadets and let them practice . One of

01:25.470 --> 01:27.389
my bosses likes to call it sticky

01:27.389 --> 01:29.445
learning . So when they leave here ,

01:29.445 --> 01:31.500
what they have done , what they have

01:31.500 --> 01:33.556
tried out , and oftentimes failed at

01:33.556 --> 01:35.556
sticks with them , and we hear them

01:35.556 --> 01:37.778
talking about it in the hallways . It's

01:37.778 --> 01:39.889
a Very exciting way to educate cadets

01:39.889 --> 01:42.111
and prepare them for the future . So it

01:42.111 --> 01:43.778
was really cool that I got to

01:43.778 --> 01:45.889
experience that and practice that for

01:45.889 --> 01:47.889
my career in the Air Force and take

01:47.889 --> 01:50.415
that with me as well as being able to

01:50.794 --> 01:53.555
make decisions under high stress

01:53.555 --> 01:55.555
environments and challenges that we

01:55.555 --> 01:57.275
face throughout these exercises .
