00:19.389 --> 00:21.556
Some of the great things that our team

00:21.556 --> 00:24.530
is doing down here for IMSC is we are

00:24.549 --> 00:26.771
the canon Team for Desert Defender that

00:26.771 --> 00:28.827
does all the pre-deployment training

00:28.827 --> 00:31.469
for security forces before they go

00:31.469 --> 00:34.110
downrange . We will qualify personnel

00:34.110 --> 00:37.990
on M2 , A1 , and the Mark 19 . We will

00:37.990 --> 00:40.709
make sure all canon personnel are going

00:40.709 --> 00:43.042
to go on the commons maintenance course ,

00:43.042 --> 00:45.153
and we conduct all the firing courses

00:45.389 --> 00:48.110
for . Every single defender going

00:48.110 --> 00:51.590
through MFRT with that , we also are in

00:51.590 --> 00:54.790
charge of all the munitions and weapons

00:54.790 --> 00:57.369
for Desert Defender . We have a 16

00:57.669 --> 00:59.909
member team . We're also a total force

00:59.909 --> 01:02.220
team . I have active duty members ,

01:02.630 --> 01:04.852
guard members , along as a reservists ,

01:04.879 --> 01:07.992
and we're all coming . Arms by trade ,

01:08.313 --> 01:10.992
so everyone here has anywhere from 8

01:10.992 --> 01:13.672
years to some of us have almost 20

01:13.672 --> 01:16.352
years of experience bringing security

01:16.352 --> 01:18.453
forces or common arms knowledge into

01:18.913 --> 01:20.913
pre-deployment training that we got

01:20.913 --> 01:23.135
here for Desert defender . We basically

01:23.135 --> 01:25.080
do a lot of maintenance , a lot of

01:25.080 --> 01:27.515
inventories , and a lot . Behind the

01:27.515 --> 01:29.459
scenes paperwork to make sure that

01:29.459 --> 01:31.571
everybody's records are good and that

01:31.571 --> 01:33.682
they're qualified on whatever weapons

01:33.682 --> 01:35.793
system that they need to be qualified

01:35.793 --> 01:35.636
on while they are here conducting

01:35.636 --> 01:38.136
training . I love being an instructor .

01:38.396 --> 01:41.036
That's the whole reason why I joined .

01:41.085 --> 01:43.196
I cross trained into combat arms from

01:43.196 --> 01:45.418
regular security forces is because I've

01:45.418 --> 01:48.330
always wanted to be an instructor . We

01:48.330 --> 01:50.580
are the last stop these students have

01:50.580 --> 01:52.819
before they go downrange , and what

01:52.819 --> 01:55.300
they get from us is what's going to

01:55.300 --> 01:57.467
allow them to come back home safely to

01:57.467 --> 01:59.689
their family . So I think it's a very ,

01:59.689 --> 02:02.860
very good way for us to , you know , do

02:02.860 --> 02:05.940
our part . The report covers closed .
