(static crackles)

00:01.704 --> 00:04.400
(dramatic cinematic music)

00:04.400 --> 00:06.230
- Journey started about four years ago,

00:06.230 --> 00:07.980
when our current Chief of
Staff of the Air Force,

00:07.980 --> 00:10.550
General Goldfein, had a
vision for our service,

00:10.550 --> 00:13.810
and he wanted us to get back
into the joint task force game.

00:13.810 --> 00:17.580
And so, he designated Ninth
Air Force as that place

00:17.580 --> 00:19.430
where we would build that capability.

00:21.210 --> 00:23.360
- We've got to continue to strengthen

00:23.360 --> 00:26.310
joint leaders and teams, that can step in,

00:26.310 --> 00:28.730
and provide an airman's
voice to the dialogue,

00:28.730 --> 00:30.136
as we go forward.

00:30.136 --> 00:33.803
(dramatic orchestral music)

01:23.863 --> 01:26.370
- If we're sitting on the sidelines,

01:26.370 --> 01:28.200
then, we're not helping.

01:28.200 --> 01:30.940
What we are doing is, we are engaging,

01:30.940 --> 01:33.060
and being a part of the solution

01:33.060 --> 01:34.860
that the Department of Defense is bringing

01:34.860 --> 01:36.768
to our COVID-19 crisis.

01:36.768 --> 01:40.351
(dramatic cinematic music)

01:41.640 --> 01:42.950
- There is no question in my mind

01:42.950 --> 01:44.670
that this task force is ready

01:44.670 --> 01:46.670
to be able to step into the breach,

01:46.670 --> 01:48.370
for whatever mission we ask of it.

01:49.250 --> 01:50.530
Across the spectrum.

01:50.530 --> 01:54.240
From high-end conflict
and combat operations,

01:54.240 --> 01:58.060
to supporting a national
response to a global pandemic,

01:58.060 --> 01:59.770
and anything in between.

01:59.770 --> 02:01.650
This task force is ready.

02:01.650 --> 02:02.640
It's shown it's ready.

02:02.640 --> 02:04.620
It's proving itself, every day,

02:04.620 --> 02:08.300
and under the leadership
of, now, General Franks,

02:08.300 --> 02:11.242
in my mind, it is only gonna
continue to get better.

02:11.242 --> 02:16.242
