WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:02.167 over the course of the last week , the 00:02.167 --> 00:04.278 100 fighter wing has been conducted a 00:04.278 --> 00:06.333 large scale readiness exercise which 00:06.333 --> 00:08.056 were practicing mobilizing and 00:08.056 --> 00:10.056 deploying our F sixteen's for major 00:10.056 --> 00:12.222 combat operations overseas . What that 00:12.222 --> 00:14.870 consisted of was launching 12 to 14 F 00:14.870 --> 00:18.690 16 aircraft as well as building up and 00:18.700 --> 00:22.645 moving 260 ton Tons of cargo as well as 00:22.645 --> 00:25.235 330 personnel to support combat 00:25.245 --> 00:27.412 simulated combat operations overseas . 00:27.655 --> 00:29.711 In this exercise , we conducted in a 00:29.711 --> 00:32.835 very short no notice time frame , which 00:32.835 --> 00:34.891 was a challenge for the team to make 00:34.891 --> 00:36.724 all that possible , generate the 00:36.724 --> 00:38.779 aircraft pack up , move the cargo as 00:38.779 --> 00:41.105 well as process our personnel to to 00:41.105 --> 00:43.280 make that happen . So the personnel 00:43.280 --> 00:45.330 deployment function is to ensure 00:45.340 --> 00:47.480 eligibility and to receive briefings 00:47.480 --> 00:49.647 that dip lawyers need when a member is 00:49.647 --> 00:51.869 deployed . We do have to make sure that 00:51.869 --> 00:54.036 their medical records are up to date . 00:54.036 --> 00:56.091 They have , they have a accurate dog 00:56.091 --> 00:57.860 tag cat card . They just have 00:57.870 --> 00:59.648 everything that they need to be 00:59.648 --> 01:01.537 successful as they enter into the 01:01.537 --> 01:03.537 deployed location . I would say the 01:03.537 --> 01:05.759 most difficult thing about this process 01:05.759 --> 01:07.592 is just timing , It's Constantly 01:07.592 --> 01:09.592 changing . You never know when that 01:09.592 --> 01:11.370 aircraft is coming and going so 01:11.370 --> 01:13.314 adapting to that , it has been the 01:13.314 --> 01:15.537 hardest part um let alone shift changes 01:15.537 --> 01:17.648 turnover in there . Um , you throw in 01:17.648 --> 01:20.120 some anti terrorism and you throw in 01:20.120 --> 01:22.550 some active shooter that that gets 01:22.550 --> 01:25.140 pretty challenging as you have 3050 01:25.140 --> 01:27.030 airmen in here trying to process 01:27.030 --> 01:28.697 through and making sure their 01:28.697 --> 01:30.919 eligibility is correct on top of that . 01:31.010 --> 01:33.121 The one thing that is so important is 01:33.121 --> 01:35.232 how rapid we are able to get , deploy 01:35.232 --> 01:37.010 hours at the door , check their 01:37.010 --> 01:39.066 eligibility , get them the briefings 01:39.066 --> 01:41.066 that is needed . It is a very quick 01:41.066 --> 01:43.121 paced procedure and I think that the 01:43.121 --> 01:45.121 PDF does very good at it in a large 01:45.121 --> 01:47.288 scale exercise like this . We're going 01:47.288 --> 01:49.343 to make it as hard as possible . And 01:49.343 --> 01:51.566 the challenge of this exercise was , it 01:51.566 --> 01:53.732 was very short notice . And so you can 01:53.732 --> 01:55.732 imagine making this whole operation 01:55.732 --> 01:57.910 happen In a 2-4 day window is a lot of 01:57.910 --> 02:00.077 moving parts and I can't be prouder of 02:00.077 --> 02:02.243 the of the innovation , the work ethic 02:02.243 --> 02:04.466 and the efficiency of our operations to 02:04.466 --> 02:03.900 make it happen .
