WEBVTT 00:05.040 --> 00:08.880 jake Nugent go by jake butt 00:08.890 --> 00:12.260 hole names , Jacob , J C O B 00:12.640 --> 00:15.410 last names . Nugent , N 00 GN coming 00:15.410 --> 00:18.250 from colorado Springs colorado from the 00:19.240 --> 00:21.960 best a sauce in my , in my opinion , 00:21.960 --> 00:23.960 the 13th a sauce out of fort Carson 00:23.960 --> 00:26.260 colorado , which is in colorado springs 00:26.910 --> 00:30.520 today . We are working with a lot of 00:30.520 --> 00:33.960 foreign , a lot of foreign pilots um , 00:33.970 --> 00:37.890 Jordanian e um working 00:37.890 --> 00:40.710 with americans as well and basically 00:40.720 --> 00:43.720 evaluating their skills on close air 00:43.720 --> 00:47.320 support . So that's what we're here in 00:47.320 --> 00:51.230 Jordan for my job . I'm an Air Force 00:51.840 --> 00:54.140 Tactical Air Control Control party 00:54.140 --> 00:56.750 member also known as attacked basically 00:56.750 --> 01:00.070 what attacked he does is he is a 01:00.080 --> 01:04.010 forward air controller in uh , he's 01:04.010 --> 01:06.066 basically the eyes on the ground for 01:06.066 --> 01:08.690 the aircraft in the sky , giving them 01:08.690 --> 01:12.260 clearances and providing them 01:13.640 --> 01:16.400 basically all the essay they need and 01:16.400 --> 01:18.622 also giving the final clearance so they 01:18.622 --> 01:22.260 can drop bombs on targets and 01:23.040 --> 01:26.410 save lives by doing so in the process . 01:27.200 --> 01:30.190 Some of the things that we do before we 01:30.190 --> 01:32.590 obviously have to give the pilot a 01:32.590 --> 01:36.050 situation mm update 01:36.060 --> 01:39.950 or a 01:41.540 --> 01:44.200 An a update basically and tell them 01:44.210 --> 01:46.321 what's going on . This is what's been 01:46.321 --> 01:48.432 happening in the last 24 hours . This 01:48.432 --> 01:50.490 is what we currently have going on . 01:51.140 --> 01:53.730 You're going to be looking for . You 01:53.730 --> 01:55.897 know , we give them threats , what can 01:55.897 --> 01:57.940 be dangerous to them , what they're 01:57.940 --> 02:00.740 gonna be looking for enemy fighters on 02:00.740 --> 02:04.660 the open enemy vehicles or 02:05.040 --> 02:08.240 stuff like that . Basically our role in 02:08.240 --> 02:11.660 Falcon Air Me 2010 is we are 02:12.340 --> 02:15.350 are are are 02:16.940 --> 02:19.530 basically our supervisors have built 02:19.530 --> 02:23.250 scenarios for the foreign pilots and 02:23.260 --> 02:26.440 we are out here putting the scenarios 02:26.440 --> 02:28.990 into action and evaluating the pilots 02:30.440 --> 02:32.273 on their skills if they're doing 02:32.273 --> 02:35.490 correct procedures right . If they're 02:35.490 --> 02:39.420 being safe , unsafe and seeing if they 02:39.420 --> 02:42.680 can establish , you know , if they can 02:42.680 --> 02:45.110 finish the mission and complete the 02:45.110 --> 02:47.460 scenario which is presented before them . 02:47.840 --> 02:50.320 Real world deployments . It's 02:51.540 --> 02:54.320 um it transitions to real world . It 02:54.320 --> 02:57.300 really this is the best training in my 02:57.310 --> 03:00.920 in my opinion because it 03:00.920 --> 03:04.260 gives pilots , you know , more 03:05.440 --> 03:08.840 experience with a J tag and they can be 03:08.850 --> 03:12.560 lethal even more lethal In a 03:12.560 --> 03:15.130 wartime setting . # one priority is 03:15.130 --> 03:17.380 obviously make sure that friendly as we 03:17.380 --> 03:19.380 know where they're at . That is the 03:19.380 --> 03:21.660 number one thing safety first 03:24.930 --> 03:28.090 and make sure that every , every man 03:28.100 --> 03:30.270 makes a home safe . Foreign pilots are 03:30.270 --> 03:32.770 doing pretty good . Some are starting 03:32.770 --> 03:35.520 off a little slow and rocky but then 03:35.530 --> 03:38.030 progressively picking up as the 03:38.040 --> 03:41.040 exercise goes on . Like I said , 03:41.040 --> 03:43.250 there's americans out here and they're 03:43.250 --> 03:45.620 pretty spot on with it . And then the 03:45.630 --> 03:48.360 language barrier is another kind of 03:49.040 --> 03:52.210 a road bump that we're experiencing . 03:52.210 --> 03:54.850 But as the days progress in the 03:54.850 --> 03:58.170 scenarios get tougher . The pilots are 03:58.180 --> 04:00.236 stepping up to the plate and meeting 04:00.236 --> 04:02.347 the challenge , the success rate with 04:02.347 --> 04:04.700 the falconer meat has been pretty good . 04:04.700 --> 04:06.810 I mean the first day it was a little 04:06.810 --> 04:10.080 rocky but it's it's 04:10.840 --> 04:13.062 it just keeps getting better and better 04:13.062 --> 04:15.284 and the pilots are definitely adjusting 04:15.284 --> 04:17.420 to the power curve for each scenario 04:17.430 --> 04:19.486 basically today , the scenarios that 04:19.486 --> 04:23.040 we're pitching adam is um since it's 04:23.040 --> 04:25.262 still early in the week , the scenarios 04:25.262 --> 04:27.096 are very basic , fixed targets , 04:27.940 --> 04:31.830 buildings , vehicles , and 04:31.830 --> 04:33.941 then as the days progress they'll get 04:33.941 --> 04:36.052 more complex . We're working with the 04:36.052 --> 04:39.550 Jordanian forces and we're 04:40.440 --> 04:43.720 we're integrating them in with these 04:43.720 --> 04:47.220 scenarios . They , in the last 04:47.220 --> 04:50.260 scenario , they played a enemy convoy 04:51.140 --> 04:54.950 and we're just , 04:55.430 --> 04:57.486 and then when they're around us were 04:57.486 --> 04:59.486 kind of telling them exactly what's 04:59.486 --> 05:02.190 going on or what , you know what they 05:02.190 --> 05:04.246 can understand because obviously the 05:04.246 --> 05:06.190 language barrier again is a little 05:06.190 --> 05:09.610 difficult . So I think the Jordanians 05:09.610 --> 05:10.350 are picking it up .
