1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:09,270 --> 00:00:11,381 Hello , I am Lieutenant Colonel Nikki 3 00:00:11,381 --> 00:00:14,779 Bone . I am the I MS C operation center 4 00:00:14,789 --> 00:00:17,011 branch chief I MS C . We needed a focal 5 00:00:17,011 --> 00:00:19,067 point to serve as a cross functional 6 00:00:19,067 --> 00:00:20,733 integrator prior to the A , a 7 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,200 transition that did not exist . So we 8 00:00:24,209 --> 00:00:26,639 are as some would say the front door . 9 00:00:26,649 --> 00:00:28,829 So , so we are the A 330 which is the 10 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,007 operation center . We fall under the A 11 00:00:31,007 --> 00:00:33,229 three . So the A three , we are for the 12 00:00:33,229 --> 00:00:35,229 command and control . Again , we're 13 00:00:35,229 --> 00:00:37,451 those cross functional integrators . We 14 00:00:37,451 --> 00:00:41,389 are the ones who have overall expertise 15 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,430 as far as who does what within the 16 00:00:43,439 --> 00:00:45,606 organization . That's why our staff is 17 00:00:45,606 --> 00:00:48,090 buried as the center manager . My job 18 00:00:48,099 --> 00:00:50,970 is to move information to where it 19 00:00:50,979 --> 00:00:53,700 needs to be and also to edit refine 20 00:00:53,709 --> 00:00:55,931 operations orders that come through our 21 00:00:55,931 --> 00:00:58,500 headquarters . My role on the team is 22 00:00:58,509 --> 00:01:01,709 during a crisis to bring the I MS E 23 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,440 team together as a collaborative effort 24 00:01:04,449 --> 00:01:07,440 to address the crisis at hand . But 25 00:01:07,449 --> 00:01:10,000 it's our role to integrate and link be 26 00:01:10,010 --> 00:01:12,519 that link between the installations , 27 00:01:12,529 --> 00:01:15,000 the detachments , the PS US and the 28 00:01:15,010 --> 00:01:17,339 headquarters staff to arm the commander 29 00:01:17,349 --> 00:01:19,571 with the information that they need and 30 00:01:19,571 --> 00:01:21,682 we do that through a common operating 31 00:01:21,682 --> 00:01:23,571 picture that the operation center 32 00:01:23,571 --> 00:01:25,571 maintains . Additionally as the EOD 33 00:01:25,571 --> 00:01:28,400 functional S me within the A 330 I also 34 00:01:28,410 --> 00:01:30,459 provide that operational reach back 35 00:01:30,470 --> 00:01:32,470 support for our flights that are at 36 00:01:32,470 --> 00:01:34,669 match com that do not have a retained 37 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,736 EOD on the match com staff or at the 38 00:01:36,736 --> 00:01:39,139 detachment . What I love about my team 39 00:01:39,150 --> 00:01:41,206 is the collaborative effort that the 40 00:01:41,206 --> 00:01:43,779 team has and the willingness for us to 41 00:01:43,790 --> 00:01:46,669 work together to solve problems . So we 42 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,220 have a great team of experts with a lot 43 00:01:49,230 --> 00:01:51,452 of experience from different functional 44 00:01:51,452 --> 00:01:53,341 communities that are able to come 45 00:01:53,341 --> 00:01:55,174 together and , and get after the 46 00:01:55,174 --> 00:01:55,120 mission . Now that we've transitioned 47 00:01:55,129 --> 00:01:58,819 to an A staff , I realize how important 48 00:01:58,830 --> 00:02:00,941 and how we fit into the big picture . 49 00:02:01,139 --> 00:02:03,361 Us being an A staff allows us to mirror 50 00:02:03,361 --> 00:02:05,489 the capabilities at A F MC and at 51 00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:07,839 headquarters Air Force . And that's the 52 00:02:07,849 --> 00:02:09,905 part where we fit in is now , we can 53 00:02:09,905 --> 00:02:12,127 follow the process from the top all the 54 00:02:12,127 --> 00:02:14,016 way through to the bottom . So if 55 00:02:14,016 --> 00:02:15,793 anyone has any questions or any 56 00:02:15,793 --> 00:02:17,793 concerns , they know to come to the 57 00:02:17,793 --> 00:02:20,330 operation center and we can either 58 00:02:20,339 --> 00:02:22,800 answer it for them or point them in the 59 00:02:22,809 --> 00:02:23,570 right direction .
