00:03.540 --> 00:05.670
Century savannah is an International

00:05.670 --> 00:07.781
Guard Bureau funded exercise that has

00:07.781 --> 00:09.980
fantastic training airspace and is a

00:09.980 --> 00:12.202
center of gravity to bring other assets

00:12.202 --> 00:14.258
in , uh , to fly to similar training

00:14.258 --> 00:16.202
with us . It's gonna have about 55

00:16.202 --> 00:18.258
different assets available , uh , to

00:18.258 --> 00:20.202
train our students and sharpen our

00:20.202 --> 00:22.369
instructor skills against . So without

00:22.369 --> 00:24.647
going to a place like century savannah ,

00:24.647 --> 00:26.647
we wouldn't have the opportunity to

00:26.647 --> 00:26.620
train against that many different

00:26.620 --> 00:30.310
assets . The 43rd is the only

00:30.320 --> 00:32.542
cooperate in the Air Force that has the

00:32.542 --> 00:34.709
F 22 formal training unit . So they're

00:34.709 --> 00:36.820
training all the F 22 pilots and they

00:36.820 --> 00:38.940
graduate between 40 and 50 students a

00:38.940 --> 00:40.829
year . The benefits of having our

00:40.829 --> 00:42.940
pilots trained in other airspace is ,

00:42.940 --> 00:45.051
it provides a different environment .

00:45.051 --> 00:46.996
So this gives an opportunity to go

00:46.996 --> 00:48.829
somewhere new and figure out how

00:48.829 --> 00:50.940
they're going to get the mission done

00:50.940 --> 00:50.160
in a place they've never been before

00:50.170 --> 00:52.337
and work with different resources that

00:52.337 --> 00:54.392
they don't have on a day to day that

00:54.392 --> 00:56.337
they get at the home station . The

00:56.337 --> 00:55.980
students are going to become familiar

00:55.980 --> 00:58.147
with assets and capabilities that they

00:58.147 --> 01:00.202
might have while they're in a combat

01:00.202 --> 01:02.313
situation , which ultimately enhances

01:02.313 --> 01:04.536
the radiance of our body . The syllabus

01:04.536 --> 01:06.702
is organized for the students where we

01:06.702 --> 01:09.036
teach them just how to fly the airplane ,

01:09.036 --> 01:11.202
how to employ it against just in one V

01:11.202 --> 01:13.202
one maneuvering . And then we start

01:13.202 --> 01:15.424
stepping up the difficulty from there .

01:15.424 --> 01:15.000
I expect that all of the students are

01:15.000 --> 01:16.778
gonna going to get a tremendous

01:16.778 --> 01:18.889
exposure to the dissimilar air combat

01:18.889 --> 01:21.000
training world . They're gonna get to

01:21.000 --> 01:22.778
fly against platforms that they

01:22.778 --> 01:24.944
wouldn't get to fly against during the

01:24.944 --> 01:27.000
course . Typically . So the exposure

01:27.000 --> 01:26.040
for them , I think it's gonna be

01:26.040 --> 01:28.262
fantastic in the flying world . There's

01:28.262 --> 01:30.207
a lot of flying , a lot of mission

01:30.207 --> 01:32.040
planning , a lot of briefing and

01:32.040 --> 01:34.207
debriefing on the outside and a lot of

01:34.207 --> 01:34.150
good working on the jet , along with

01:34.150 --> 01:36.372
just a tremendous amount of integration

01:36.372 --> 01:38.594
and Crosstalk with other platforms . By

01:38.594 --> 01:40.594
taking the 40 32 , a large exercise

01:40.594 --> 01:42.817
like Century Savannah , we were able to

01:42.817 --> 01:45.039
keep those skills sharp and be ready to

01:45.039 --> 01:46.350
go out the door to defend the nation .
