WEBVTT

00:08.640 --> 00:11.040
mhm . Yeah ,

00:16.140 --> 00:18.470
so with a with the Reserve Security

00:18.470 --> 00:20.930
Forces squadron and and with the 7/10

00:20.930 --> 00:23.190
you know , our primary job is to train

00:23.190 --> 00:25.357
to deploy and then deploy guarding Air

00:25.357 --> 00:27.400
Force and our Joint Force assets

00:27.400 --> 00:29.511
overseas and are very , you know , in

00:29.511 --> 00:31.760
the various deployed locations . So you

00:31.760 --> 00:33.871
know that is that is our primary area

00:33.871 --> 00:36.140
of focus and we make sure that we put

00:36.140 --> 00:38.029
the vast majority of our time and

00:38.029 --> 00:40.084
effort into making sure our training

00:40.084 --> 00:42.251
for that is as effective as possible .

00:42.440 --> 00:44.662
Ultimately getting our guys out here is

00:44.662 --> 00:46.662
extremely value added . Not only in

00:46.662 --> 00:48.884
terms of the training value that we get

00:48.884 --> 00:50.884
out here , because this is a lot of

00:50.884 --> 00:53.080
stuff that we can't train on at our

00:53.080 --> 00:55.480
home station location . You just need a

00:55.480 --> 00:59.050
bigger play area to get that that

00:59.440 --> 01:02.510
appropriate quality of training that

01:02.510 --> 01:04.177
you're looking for to make it

01:04.177 --> 01:06.399
worthwhile . But at the same time , you

01:06.399 --> 01:09.350
know , it's it's critical to i

01:10.340 --> 01:12.451
to our people feeling like their time

01:12.451 --> 01:14.673
is being well spent , they enjoy coming

01:14.673 --> 01:16.840
out here , they enjoy doing what we do

01:16.840 --> 01:19.007
when we do come out here and so we try

01:19.007 --> 01:21.118
to make it as frequent as we possibly

01:21.118 --> 01:23.880
can for those two major reasons , as

01:23.880 --> 01:25.824
far as our shooters and what we're

01:25.824 --> 01:27.991
evaluating what we're looking for . We

01:27.991 --> 01:29.824
obviously want to see proficient

01:29.824 --> 01:32.102
shooters , The folks you see behind me ,

01:32.102 --> 01:33.991
they're getting ready to deploy ,

01:33.991 --> 01:35.880
they're gonna be deploying as the

01:35.880 --> 01:37.769
gunners assigned to these various

01:37.769 --> 01:39.880
weapons systems . So we wanna be able

01:39.880 --> 01:42.213
to see that they're able to employ them .

01:42.213 --> 01:44.436
Should the need arise Today for the 762

01:44.436 --> 01:47.180
caliber , we fired a little over 20,000

01:47.190 --> 01:50.830
rounds for the 556 linked , we fired

01:50.830 --> 01:54.180
almost 4000 rounds . Um and then for

01:54.190 --> 01:56.520
our grenade launcher , we fired close

01:56.520 --> 01:57.460
to 400 rounds

02:01.240 --> 02:03.990
as our guns shoot a lot of rounds ,

02:03.990 --> 02:06.630
they'll start to to gm up um and we'll

02:06.630 --> 02:08.741
have to go through and clear them out

02:08.741 --> 02:10.463
and fix various broken parts .

02:12.340 --> 02:14.720
So as far as mission readiness , this

02:14.720 --> 02:18.040
is a direct um it's going to affect our

02:18.050 --> 02:20.540
our downrange mission . Um Specifically ,

02:20.540 --> 02:22.651
like I said , these members are gonna

02:22.651 --> 02:24.873
be deploying so their ability to employ

02:24.873 --> 02:26.920
these guns , be able to use them

02:26.930 --> 02:29.100
properly and uh the way that they're

02:29.110 --> 02:31.460
designed to um is gonna be paramount to

02:31.460 --> 02:33.404
us being able to uh to protect our

02:33.404 --> 02:35.950
mission and be able to get back safely .

02:36.440 --> 02:38.384
So as far as our firing today with

02:38.384 --> 02:40.273
phenomenal no safety issues , the

02:40.273 --> 02:42.496
motivation state high . Um , we're able

02:42.496 --> 02:44.990
to get all of our objectives met within

02:44.990 --> 02:47.046
the time constraints that we had set

02:47.046 --> 02:49.212
out um and again , foot stomping . The

02:49.212 --> 02:51.046
fact that we didn't have any any

02:51.046 --> 02:53.101
injuries , nobody's falling out . So

02:53.101 --> 02:55.160
very productive day of firing , mm hmm .
