1 00:00:00,340 --> 00:00:01,340 Okay . 2 00:00:07,340 --> 00:00:10,400 What alma bravo is our annual readiness 3 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,800 exercise where we practice the ability 4 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,890 to operate and survive in a contestant 5 00:00:15,890 --> 00:00:18,060 have been degraded environment . Day 6 00:00:18,060 --> 00:00:20,510 one we started kind of bare base tops 7 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,330 our whole uh we went out there um and 8 00:00:24,330 --> 00:00:26,580 we set up a base and we defended the 9 00:00:26,580 --> 00:00:28,510 base when we did that kind of a 10 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,310 chemical environment and then we 11 00:00:31,310 --> 00:00:34,400 forward deployed to another location 12 00:00:34,410 --> 00:00:36,270 where we did more of our airlift 13 00:00:36,270 --> 00:00:39,160 mission . And we had support from the 14 00:00:39,170 --> 00:00:41,160 texas Army National Guard . They 15 00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:43,216 supported us with a black hawk . And 16 00:00:43,216 --> 00:00:45,216 then we also kind of got that joint 17 00:00:45,216 --> 00:00:49,070 tasking that joint effort . But we 18 00:00:49,070 --> 00:00:51,348 also do have our security forces and R . 19 00:00:51,348 --> 00:00:53,870 O . D . And some different operations 20 00:00:53,870 --> 00:00:55,950 that we had going on at different 21 00:00:55,950 --> 00:00:58,172 locations . We still had our medical at 22 00:00:58,172 --> 00:01:01,230 camp bramble . I'm part of the Persico 23 00:01:01,230 --> 00:01:03,700 team . And so my main objective has 24 00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:05,720 been accountability and I'm also 25 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,831 working with the RCC . So I'm keeping 26 00:01:07,831 --> 00:01:09,942 track of members that are leaving the 27 00:01:09,942 --> 00:01:12,053 base and then coming onto the base as 28 00:01:12,053 --> 00:01:14,164 well . Overall significance , I think 29 00:01:14,164 --> 00:01:16,276 of doing this training is essentially 30 00:01:16,276 --> 00:01:18,387 to prepare us for when we do deploy . 31 00:01:18,387 --> 00:01:20,498 You know , our units are going to get 32 00:01:20,498 --> 00:01:22,664 tasked to deploy and so sometimes it's 33 00:01:22,664 --> 00:01:24,831 not gonna be on that volunteer basis , 34 00:01:24,831 --> 00:01:27,053 sometimes to be on that volunteer old . 35 00:01:27,053 --> 00:01:29,220 And the last thing you want is to send 36 00:01:29,220 --> 00:01:28,700 somebody that is unprepared into a 37 00:01:28,700 --> 00:01:32,550 deployed environment . We 38 00:01:32,550 --> 00:01:35,130 wanted to do a whole entire inter 39 00:01:35,130 --> 00:01:37,830 agency uh contacts working through this . 40 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,480 Um So that was the main focus of how we 41 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,424 were going to operate and then our 42 00:01:42,424 --> 00:01:44,536 focus and our priority as far as what 43 00:01:44,536 --> 00:01:46,702 we were doing and why we're doing this 44 00:01:46,702 --> 00:01:48,869 for readiness . It's for our airmen to 45 00:01:48,869 --> 00:01:50,924 make sure that they're ready to go . 46 00:01:50,924 --> 00:01:52,980 They received the training that they 47 00:01:52,980 --> 00:01:55,202 needed and we identify those gaps so we 48 00:01:55,202 --> 00:01:57,424 can get them that training . Yeah , The 49 00:01:57,424 --> 00:01:59,758 exercise has actually been a lot of fun . 50 00:01:59,758 --> 00:02:01,758 It's been an opportunity to kind of 51 00:02:01,758 --> 00:02:03,924 test all the capabilities that we have 52 00:02:03,924 --> 00:02:05,869 in security forces , myself and my 53 00:02:05,869 --> 00:02:07,980 teammates have had the opportunity to 54 00:02:07,980 --> 00:02:09,980 go hands on and and actually do the 55 00:02:09,980 --> 00:02:11,147 mission set . Yeah , 56 00:02:21,090 --> 00:02:23,340 quite literally hold up . Yeah , 57 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,740 yep .

We came together as a team 61 00:02:48,370 --> 00:02:50,780 as a wing , both on the planning side 62 00:02:50,780 --> 00:02:54,290 and on the exercise players side , I'm 63 00:02:54,290 --> 00:02:54,560 sorry .
