00:00.040 --> 00:02.500
Brigadier General Lee Hopkins Day to

00:02.500 --> 00:04.722
day I'm the director of the Joint Staff

00:04.722 --> 00:06.833
in Louisiana National Guard . In this

00:06.833 --> 00:08.833
case , I'm also serving as the dual

00:08.833 --> 00:10.920
status commander of both Title 32

00:10.930 --> 00:13.152
entitled Tim Forces that are supporting

00:13.152 --> 00:15.263
the Cove in response to Louisiana and

00:15.263 --> 00:17.208
the dual status command was put in

00:17.208 --> 00:19.980
place after Hurricane Katrina as part

00:19.980 --> 00:21.924
of the National Response Plan . In

00:21.924 --> 00:24.091
order , allow us to integrate Title 32

00:24.091 --> 00:26.610
entitled Tim Forces Together . What

00:26.610 --> 00:29.880
that allows me to be that stove pipe is

00:29.880 --> 00:31.880
to allow our title 32 National Your

00:31.880 --> 00:34.250
Forces to continue to report to the

00:34.260 --> 00:36.840
governor and agin in general , but also

00:36.840 --> 00:39.070
allows us to pull entitled 10 forces .

00:39.300 --> 00:42.580
And keep that that that chain of

00:42.580 --> 00:45.290
command through Army North and up

00:45.300 --> 00:47.578
through the president of United States ,

00:47.578 --> 00:49.800
but allows us to integrate him and have

00:49.800 --> 00:52.022
unity of effort in order to use them as

00:52.022 --> 00:54.189
part of our Kobe response . What we're

00:54.189 --> 00:56.300
doing as Louisiana Guardsmen and also

00:56.300 --> 00:59.050
our title 10 forces from the Navy E M F .

00:59.060 --> 01:01.330
That's here sporting is extremely

01:01.330 --> 01:03.497
important because we're providing that

01:03.497 --> 01:05.497
metal secure surge capacity to help

01:05.497 --> 01:07.608
protect the citizens . Louisiana . So

01:08.730 --> 01:11.000
that's a that's a important mission for

01:11.000 --> 01:14.200
us . What the dual status commander

01:14.250 --> 01:16.530
provides in this situation is the best

01:16.530 --> 01:18.752
of both worlds . Rail divide , unity of

01:18.752 --> 01:21.200
effort on synergy . And it's really the

01:21.210 --> 01:23.490
textbook , the textbook of synergy ,

01:23.490 --> 01:25.590
because together were much stronger

01:25.590 --> 01:27.590
than just the sum of our parts . So

01:27.590 --> 01:29.880
together we can simultaneously support

01:30.010 --> 01:32.110
ourselves simultaneously , work

01:32.110 --> 01:34.910
together and better support the

01:34.910 --> 01:36.799
citizens . Louisiana to Alleviate

01:36.799 --> 01:36.990
