My name is Lieutenant Lawson . I am the

00:10.930 --> 00:13.609
First Brigade Innovation Officer here

00:13.619 --> 00:16.319
at Eagle Works and my role is to take

00:16.329 --> 00:18.760
projects from start to finish for any

00:18.770 --> 00:20.780
idea that gets brought forth from a

00:20.790 --> 00:23.129
soldier from first Brigade . So Eagle

00:23.139 --> 00:25.361
Works has a lot of capabilities and our

00:25.361 --> 00:27.472
capabilities are growing by the day .

00:27.472 --> 00:30.559
So currently we have six different 3d

00:30.569 --> 00:33.310
printers with varying capabilities and

00:33.319 --> 00:35.509
types of plastic that they can use to

00:35.520 --> 00:39.080
3D print . We also have two CNC milling

00:39.090 --> 00:42.000
machines . One of them is the size of a

00:42.009 --> 00:45.200
connex so we can do lots of metal work .

00:45.209 --> 00:47.632
And then we also have a welding center

00:47.643 --> 00:50.463
as well as a woodshop center and a

00:50.472 --> 00:52.902
sewing center . So we are able to

00:53.042 --> 00:55.209
really handle a lot of the prototyping

00:55.209 --> 00:57.431
that soldiers bring in . So Eagle Works

00:57.431 --> 00:59.862
is located right inside of gate four ,

00:59.963 --> 01:02.185
most soldiers . Yes , when they come to

01:02.185 --> 01:04.642
Wilson Theater for a brief , but

01:04.652 --> 01:06.708
ideally a soldier would just walk in

01:06.708 --> 01:08.930
the building and start talking with any

01:08.930 --> 01:11.041
of Innovation officers that work here

01:11.041 --> 01:13.263
in the building and we can talk to them

01:13.263 --> 01:15.096
about their idea and then get it

01:15.096 --> 01:17.365
inputted to our portal . The other

01:17.375 --> 01:20.505
option is if they are deployed or just

01:20.515 --> 01:22.626
don't have the time to come in , they

01:22.626 --> 01:24.682
can just Google Eagle works and then

01:24.682 --> 01:26.682
there's a link to submit their idea

01:26.682 --> 01:28.682
through the portal and then whoever

01:28.682 --> 01:28.636
represents them in their brigade or

01:28.646 --> 01:30.813
their unit would reach out to them and

01:30.813 --> 01:32.066
follow up about their idea .
