00:05.349 --> 00:07.349
I'm staff Sergeant , Brian Meir and

00:07.349 --> 00:09.239
this is the 192nd in 90 seconds .

00:16.280 --> 00:18.280
Lot has happened since last drill .

00:18.280 --> 00:20.113
General jumper , assistant agent

00:20.113 --> 00:22.113
General Air provided an information

00:22.113 --> 00:24.169
update on the vang to the members of

00:24.169 --> 00:26.336
the Virginia General Assembly Military

00:26.336 --> 00:28.447
and veterans caucus on February 15 in

00:28.447 --> 00:31.309
Richmond . The vang just completed a

00:31.319 --> 00:33.486
week of annual training which included

00:33.486 --> 00:35.990
an aircraft generation exercise . This

00:36.000 --> 00:37.909
exercise allowed vang members to

00:37.919 --> 00:40.030
practice their readiness and response

00:40.030 --> 00:42.220
capabilities together with active duty

00:42.229 --> 00:44.189
in a simulated deployed scenario .

00:45.299 --> 00:47.159
These exercises also provided

00:47.169 --> 00:49.409
opportunities to improve our processes

00:49.419 --> 00:51.639
and procedures and the wing inspection

00:51.650 --> 00:53.970
team was on point for that task . We

00:53.979 --> 00:56.490
were doing a phase one exercise . It's

00:56.500 --> 00:58.630
basically where the unit practices

00:58.639 --> 01:00.830
preparing for war and sending our guys

01:00.840 --> 01:02.784
out the door during the generation

01:02.784 --> 01:04.840
exercise . I was a wit inspector for

01:04.840 --> 01:07.160
the UCC and the GCC which operates

01:07.169 --> 01:09.113
within the units and the group and

01:09.113 --> 01:11.169
their focal points for communication

01:11.169 --> 01:13.113
and information and they pass that

01:13.113 --> 01:15.225
along and it kind of gives the boss a

01:15.225 --> 01:17.336
bigger picture of what's occurring on

01:17.336 --> 01:16.790
the line and tracking all the

01:16.800 --> 01:18.689
information as far as equipment ,

01:18.689 --> 01:20.959
personnel and aircraft . We go out and

01:21.620 --> 01:23.787
inspect our guys while they're getting

01:23.787 --> 01:25.898
ready for these exercises and through

01:25.898 --> 01:27.953
the whole process of the exercise to

01:27.953 --> 01:30.009
ensure that they're doing everything

01:30.009 --> 01:31.953
properly . The Vang has two airmen

01:31.953 --> 01:33.898
