WEBVTT 00:00.200 --> 00:02.144 So we're in Katussa , Georgia , uh 00:02.144 --> 00:03.978 Katusa volunteer training site . 00:03.978 --> 00:05.922 Basically while we're here is just 00:05.922 --> 00:08.256 getting back to air base ground defense . 00:08.256 --> 00:10.478 It's getting back to those fundamentals 00:10.478 --> 00:12.533 so that way we can teach these young 00:12.533 --> 00:14.700 tech sergeants , staff sergeants , and 00:14.700 --> 00:17.000 senior airmen and even the A1Cs to 00:17.000 --> 00:19.200 build air bases from their bases 00:19.200 --> 00:21.600 basically and how to utilize those 00:21.600 --> 00:24.000 skills and what they can learn if they 00:24.000 --> 00:26.167 ever put in those type of situations . 00:28.110 --> 00:30.166 So it gives us the opportunity to be 00:30.166 --> 00:32.770 able to rapidly deploy anywhere in the 00:32.770 --> 00:35.169 world to set up a base anywhere in the 00:35.169 --> 00:37.169 world and to be able to protect the 00:37.169 --> 00:39.490 base from the state side we also we can 00:39.490 --> 00:41.712 receive short notice missions . Uh , we 00:41.712 --> 00:43.879 might not know where we're going , but 00:43.879 --> 00:45.879 we'll be able to set up and operate 00:45.879 --> 00:45.729 once we get you know boots on the 00:45.729 --> 00:47.750 ground . So we , we have , we have 00:47.750 --> 00:49.917 talked about this for years . It was a 00:49.917 --> 00:52.139 wonderful experience to get to come out 00:52.139 --> 00:54.139 here and actually , uh , kind of go 00:54.139 --> 00:56.306 hands on to get boots on the ground to 00:56.306 --> 00:58.361 see everything that we trained for , 00:58.361 --> 00:57.590 everything that we've talked about kind 00:57.590 --> 00:59.759 of come together um out here in a in a 00:59.759 --> 01:01.648 in a location that none of us are 01:01.648 --> 01:04.019 really familiar with , um , to . To 01:04.019 --> 01:06.370 kind of build up of area of operation 01:06.750 --> 01:08.806 and then just to see , you know , to 01:08.806 --> 01:10.917 see us being able to defend or attack 01:10.917 --> 01:12.917 an opposing team . I mean I thought 01:12.917 --> 01:14.917 that was a pretty good experience . 01:14.917 --> 01:17.028 I've learned a lot and um I feel like 01:17.028 --> 01:19.139 we've accomplished a lot this week um 01:19.139 --> 01:21.361 together we've learned to work together 01:21.361 --> 01:23.417 as a team . It definitely helps just 01:23.417 --> 01:25.583 communicating and getting to know each 01:25.583 --> 01:27.806 other so we can be stronger as a team . 01:27.806 --> 01:29.861 It's definitely made us stronger and 01:29.861 --> 01:31.806 definitely easier to communicate . 01:33.680 --> 01:35.959 Dramatic improvement since Tuesday when 01:35.959 --> 01:38.126 they started building their bases till 01:38.126 --> 01:40.237 today when we would run a scenario on 01:40.237 --> 01:42.403 them they're like , OK , that didn't , 01:42.403 --> 01:44.459 that didn't work we need to fix this 01:44.459 --> 01:46.570 and watch them come together and then 01:46.570 --> 01:48.792 fix the base uh that was pretty neat to 01:48.792 --> 01:50.681 see everybody was rock stars this 01:50.681 --> 01:50.639 weekend . uh , there was a lot of 01:50.639 --> 01:52.806 motivation . Everybody's excited to do 01:52.806 --> 01:55.028 it because we're out in the field and I 01:55.028 --> 01:57.250 have no complaints . I enjoyed watching 01:57.250 --> 01:56.949 every single one of them .
