WEBVTT

00:01.340 --> 00:02.340
mm .

00:10.640 --> 00:16.470
So

00:16.470 --> 00:18.870
with a with the Reserve Security Forces

00:18.870 --> 00:22.440
squadron and with the 7/10 our primary

00:22.440 --> 00:24.384
job is to train to deploy and then

00:24.384 --> 00:26.496
deploy guarding Air Force and and you

00:26.496 --> 00:28.662
know , our Joint Force assets overseas

00:28.662 --> 00:30.496
and in our very various deployed

00:30.496 --> 00:32.551
locations . So uh you know , that is

00:32.551 --> 00:34.662
that is our primary area of focus and

00:34.662 --> 00:36.551
we make sure that we put the vast

00:36.551 --> 00:38.607
majority of our time and effort into

00:38.607 --> 00:40.829
making sure our training for that is as

00:40.829 --> 00:43.110
effective as possible . Ultimately

00:43.110 --> 00:45.277
getting our guys out here is extremely

00:45.277 --> 00:47.443
value added . Not only in terms of the

00:47.443 --> 00:49.443
training value that we get out here

00:49.443 --> 00:51.610
because the , you know , this is a lot

00:51.610 --> 00:53.777
of stuff that we can't train on at our

00:53.777 --> 00:55.999
home station location . You just need a

00:55.999 --> 00:58.650
bigger play area to get that , you know ,

00:58.660 --> 01:01.380
that appropriate quality of training

01:01.940 --> 01:03.884
that you're looking for to make it

01:03.884 --> 01:06.170
worthwhile . But at the same time , you

01:06.170 --> 01:09.760
know , it's it's critical to uh

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 --> 01:19.062
when we do come out here . So we try to

01:19.062 --> 01:21.229
make it as frequent as we possibly can

01:21.229 --> 01:24.140
for those two major reasons , as far as

01:24.140 --> 01:26.307
our shooters and what we're evaluating

01:26.307 --> 01:28.418
what we're looking for . We obviously

01:28.418 --> 01:30.473
want to see proficient shooters . Um

01:30.473 --> 01:32.418
the folks that you see behind me ,

01:32.418 --> 01:34.473
they're getting ready to deploy , um

01:34.473 --> 01:36.362
they're gonna be deploying as the

01:36.362 --> 01:38.251
gunners assigned to these various

01:38.251 --> 01:38.150
weapons systems . So we wanna be able

01:38.150 --> 01:40.483
to see that they're able to employ them .

01:40.483 --> 01:43.770
Um should the need arise today for the

01:43.770 --> 01:46.250
762 caliber , we fired a little over

01:46.250 --> 01:50.150
20,000 rounds uh for the 556 linked ,

01:50.150 --> 01:53.330
we fired almost 4000 rounds . Um and

01:53.330 --> 01:55.650
then for our grenade launcher , we

01:55.650 --> 01:57.510
fired close to 400 rounds

01:59.360 --> 02:03.230
uh as our guns shoot a

02:03.230 --> 02:06.210
lot of rounds , they'll start to GM up

02:06.220 --> 02:08.387
and we'll have to go through and clear

02:08.387 --> 02:10.387
them out and fix the various broken

02:10.387 --> 02:14.250
parts . So as far as mission readiness ,

02:14.260 --> 02:17.450
this is a direct um uh it's gonna

02:17.450 --> 02:19.760
affect our our downrange mission . Um

02:19.770 --> 02:21.714
specifically , like I said , these

02:21.714 --> 02:23.937
members are gonna be deploying so their

02:23.937 --> 02:26.070
ability to employ these guns , um be

02:26.070 --> 02:28.470
able to use them properly . And uh the

02:28.470 --> 02:30.600
way that they're designed to um is

02:30.600 --> 02:32.767
gonna be paramount to us being able to

02:32.767 --> 02:34.767
uh to protect our mission and uh be

02:34.767 --> 02:36.878
able to get back safely , you think ?

02:36.878 --> 02:38.822
So as far as our firing today with

02:38.822 --> 02:40.711
phenomenal no safety issues , the

02:40.711 --> 02:42.822
motivation state high , um we're able

02:42.822 --> 02:45.044
to get all of our objectives met within

02:45.044 --> 02:47.100
the time constraints that we had set

02:47.100 --> 02:49.267
out um and again , foot stomping , the

02:49.267 --> 02:51.100
fact that we didn't have any any

02:51.100 --> 02:53.100
injuries , nobody's fallen out . So

02:53.100 --> 02:55.160
very productive day of firing
