00:00.569 --> 00:02.849
134 civil engineer squadron airmen

00:02.849 --> 00:04.905
recently strengthened infrastructure

00:04.905 --> 00:07.016
capabilities while supporting mission

00:07.016 --> 00:09.238
readiness at Kunsan Air Base , Republic

00:09.238 --> 00:11.405
of Korea . The training opportunity is

00:11.405 --> 00:13.460
part of a rotational mix of National

00:13.460 --> 00:15.405
Guard and reserve forces to assist

00:15.405 --> 00:17.627
active counterparts on various basewide

00:17.627 --> 00:19.682
projects . These opportunities allow

00:19.682 --> 00:21.738
the younger troops to step up , take

00:21.738 --> 00:24.670
leadership roles , um , show , um ,

00:24.690 --> 00:27.023
their abilities , and , and really , uh ,

00:27.049 --> 00:29.049
grow as an airman and as a leader .

00:29.250 --> 00:31.028
From our fire department to our

00:31.028 --> 00:33.139
craftsmen to our emergency managers ,

00:33.139 --> 00:35.330
uh , coming out to Indoaycom here at

00:35.330 --> 00:37.274
Kunson Air Base , couldn't be more

00:37.274 --> 00:39.274
proud of the team . The way they've

00:39.274 --> 00:41.330
stepped up and integrated and worked

00:41.330 --> 00:43.497
with each other , while structural and

00:43.497 --> 00:45.608
electrical upgrades were made through

00:45.608 --> 00:47.719
over 50 completed work orders , 134th

00:47.719 --> 00:49.941
CES firefighters worked alongside their

00:49.941 --> 00:51.830
8th Civil Engineer squadron hosts

00:51.830 --> 00:53.830
during multiple aircraft rescue and

00:53.830 --> 00:56.020
firefighting exercises . This training

00:56.020 --> 00:58.076
is really important to us because we

00:58.076 --> 01:00.187
get to get together with another fire

01:00.187 --> 01:02.242
department and we get to sharpen our

01:02.242 --> 01:04.464
skills . We get to train and learn from

01:04.464 --> 01:06.576
each other so that way when we end up

01:06.576 --> 01:08.798
in a deployed environment , we can work

01:08.798 --> 01:11.131
in cohesion with each other more easily .

01:11.131 --> 01:13.242
It's been a great benefit to the team

01:13.242 --> 01:15.464
here at the 8 Civil Engineer Squadron ,

01:15.464 --> 01:15.379
having the guard reserve kind of come

01:15.379 --> 01:17.601
through . Integrate into our shops . So

01:17.601 --> 01:19.823
anytime we have large projects like the

01:19.823 --> 01:21.879
Wolfpack Park project where they can

01:21.879 --> 01:24.101
come in , integrate in our shops , work

01:24.101 --> 01:23.635
together , and then get out there and

01:23.635 --> 01:25.875
accomplish that mission , it's really

01:25.875 --> 01:28.224
beneficial to the entire team . This

01:28.224 --> 01:30.355
cohesion and support allow guard ,

01:30.434 --> 01:33.074
reserve , and active forces to better

01:33.074 --> 01:34.907
understand their shared roles in

01:34.907 --> 01:37.130
integrated environments . I'm Air Force
