00:02.369 --> 00:04.647
My name is Corporal Carlson . I'm an A ,

00:04.647 --> 00:06.559
a Mike . I'm with the 4 45th

00:06.570 --> 00:08.737
Transportation Company out of Waterloo

00:08.737 --> 00:10.903
Iowa . Today we're out here doing some

00:10.903 --> 00:12.848
six lanes , getting a lot of these

00:12.848 --> 00:15.014
newer soldiers on the trucks that have

00:15.014 --> 00:14.819
not been on them before . I've been in

00:14.829 --> 00:17.190
the Army Reserve six years . It's been

00:17.200 --> 00:19.200
a great experience . The people you

00:19.200 --> 00:21.422
meet are great and everything transfers

00:21.422 --> 00:23.589
over to the civilian side . I'm also a

00:23.589 --> 00:25.700
truck driver on the civilian side and

00:25.700 --> 00:25.079
everything I learned here transfers

00:25.090 --> 00:27.034
over very fluidly . We're out here

00:27.034 --> 00:28.923
using the PLS , the pilot loading

00:28.923 --> 00:30.979
system . It's a five axle truck . We

00:30.979 --> 00:32.979
use it from anywhere , loading crop

00:32.979 --> 00:35.312
racks to flat racks to 20 ft containers ,

00:35.312 --> 00:37.479
anything up to generators , per sets ,

00:37.479 --> 00:39.590
anything that might have a hook on on

00:39.590 --> 00:41.534
the front of it . You'll see a PLS

00:41.534 --> 00:41.330
hauling it . Everything we're learning

00:41.340 --> 00:43.396
out here is stuff that is critical .

00:43.396 --> 00:45.396
The mission , this is all the stuff

00:45.396 --> 00:47.618
we're going to be using . Whether it be

00:47.618 --> 00:47.599
back home at our unit , our home

00:47.610 --> 00:49.900
station or if we were to deploy

00:49.909 --> 00:52.270
overseas . The sustain side of the army

00:52.279 --> 00:54.501
are the unsung heroes of the army . The

00:54.501 --> 00:57.340
army runs off our back . Um , we carry

00:57.349 --> 00:59.990
the army without us . Everyone would be

01:00.000 --> 01:02.222
without supplies without AMMO , without

01:02.222 --> 01:04.459
food . If we don't run the army doesn't

01:04.470 --> 01:07.239
either . The options are endless here

01:07.250 --> 01:07.889
in the army reserve .
