1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:21,829 --> 00:00:24,379 The training event we're doing is 13th 3 00:00:24,379 --> 00:00:26,601 caps first ever combat support training 4 00:00:26,601 --> 00:00:28,657 range event here at Fort Bliss , and 5 00:00:28,657 --> 00:00:30,829 primarily we are focused on base 6 00:00:30,829 --> 00:00:33,051 operational support protection training 7 00:00:33,051 --> 00:00:36,930 tasks such as small arms fire , in all 8 00:00:36,930 --> 00:00:39,041 air base ground defense tasks related 9 00:00:39,041 --> 00:00:42,159 to combat support . The role of the 10 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,326 combat support training range with the 11 00:00:44,326 --> 00:00:46,548 13th Combat Air Base Squadron right now 12 00:00:46,548 --> 00:00:48,492 is to get this team together who's 13 00:00:48,492 --> 00:00:50,720 going to deploy together and learn each 14 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,942 other , train with each other , so when 15 00:00:52,942 --> 00:00:55,109 we get down range , it's not the first 16 00:00:55,109 --> 00:00:57,840 time we met . So when we're down range 17 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,007 we're already a team . We already know 18 00:01:00,007 --> 00:01:01,840 how each other function . We are 19 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,007 mission ready and capable to sustain a 20 00:01:04,007 --> 00:01:07,394 base from day one . Our deployment 21 00:01:07,394 --> 00:01:10,154 sister locations or a platform for 22 00:01:10,154 --> 00:01:12,675 units of action to come out and do 23 00:01:12,675 --> 00:01:14,786 training on equipment that they don't 24 00:01:14,786 --> 00:01:16,953 get to touch every day and at the same 25 00:01:16,953 --> 00:01:19,175 time it provides them an opportunity to 26 00:01:19,175 --> 00:01:21,995 do the sets and reps to build teams and 27 00:01:21,995 --> 00:01:23,995 develop teamwork from the different 28 00:01:23,995 --> 00:01:26,051 bases that they're at when they come 29 00:01:26,051 --> 00:01:27,717 together . There's been a few 30 00:01:27,717 --> 00:01:29,828 challenges , but the airmen have been 31 00:01:29,828 --> 00:01:32,051 very adaptable . They've worked through 32 00:01:32,051 --> 00:01:31,610 it . I think that's a good sign . For 33 00:01:32,349 --> 00:01:34,989 when we do deploy as a unit , adapting 34 00:01:34,989 --> 00:01:37,870 and overcome . This is a training range , 35 00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:40,739 a base that not many airmen out here 36 00:01:40,739 --> 00:01:43,110 are familiar with , but the more we 37 00:01:43,110 --> 00:01:45,277 build these sets and reps going out to 38 00:01:45,277 --> 00:01:47,443 these combat support training ranges , 39 00:01:47,443 --> 00:01:49,166 the more efficient , more task 40 00:01:49,166 --> 00:01:52,110 efficient and overall effectiveness as 41 00:01:52,110 --> 00:01:54,388 a unit is going to continue to improve . 42 00:01:54,388 --> 00:01:56,589 In my eyes it exceedings exceeding 43 00:01:56,589 --> 00:01:58,645 expectations . Seeing airmen get out 44 00:01:58,645 --> 00:02:00,756 here and get after it . Seeing airmen 45 00:02:00,756 --> 00:02:02,978 really motivated to be out here and get 46 00:02:02,978 --> 00:02:05,089 after it . A lot of it comes from the 47 00:02:05,089 --> 00:02:04,425 leadership . I look at the leadership 48 00:02:04,425 --> 00:02:06,745 that's out here and the leadership are 49 00:02:06,745 --> 00:02:08,912 excited and motivated to be here , and 50 00:02:08,912 --> 00:02:11,078 that matriculates down into the masses 51 00:02:11,078 --> 00:02:13,023 and you can see it with the lowest 52 00:02:13,023 --> 00:02:15,189 level airmen and with their excitement 53 00:02:15,189 --> 00:02:14,985 of being out here , being on the range 54 00:02:14,985 --> 00:02:17,705 shooting , driving tactical vehicles , 55 00:02:17,904 --> 00:02:19,960 driving forklifts , you know , doing 56 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,904 the things that's required of them 57 00:02:21,904 --> 00:02:25,320 while they're here . 3 58 00:02:26,279 --> 00:02:29,169 1313 .
