00:00.280 --> 00:03.363
(truck engine roars)

00:04.800 --> 00:09.650
- Modernization and readiness
are the army's number two

00:09.650 --> 00:11.730
and number one priorities

00:11.730 --> 00:15.433
and really in operational
testing they come together.

00:24.668 --> 00:25.814
- [Soldier] Open up!

00:25.814 --> 00:27.660
(rapid gunfire)
- We test every piece

00:27.660 --> 00:31.860
of equipment, every system
that goes to our soldiers,

00:31.860 --> 00:35.550
everything from ground
combat systems and aviation,

00:35.550 --> 00:37.640
the new field feeding kitchens

00:38.890 --> 00:41.650
and mission command computer systems.

00:41.650 --> 00:43.430
What's exciting is we start the work

00:43.430 --> 00:47.550
with the state universities as
part of the state government,

00:47.550 --> 00:52.030
we can treat them as
co-equals, as partners.

00:52.030 --> 00:54.490
We'll use operational test command

00:54.490 --> 00:56.220
(missile booms)
as the template,

00:56.220 --> 00:58.785
as the example of the kinds of skills

00:58.785 --> 01:00.210
(missile booms)
and certifications

01:00.210 --> 01:03.373
that our cyber workforce
in the future will need.

01:04.756 --> 01:07.089
(explosion)

01:10.790 --> 01:15.640
So, it's a huge win for
the army to have all

01:15.640 --> 01:19.580
of this coming together at
Fort Hood in central Texas,

01:19.580 --> 01:21.090
as we work together

01:21.090 --> 01:22.250
(gunfire)
and then as we work

01:22.250 --> 01:24.369
with Army Futures Command in Austin

01:24.369 --> 01:28.780
to create these early opportunities
to try out new systems

01:28.780 --> 01:32.510
and new concepts and
we work that together.

01:32.510 --> 01:34.896
(soldiers chattering)
