00:09.149 --> 00:11.093
There is too much water , too much

00:11.093 --> 00:12.982
distance for anyone else to do it

00:12.982 --> 00:14.927
relevantly at pace at speed and at

00:14.927 --> 00:18.889
scale , everybody's role

00:18.899 --> 00:21.760
is crucial . But mobility is the joint

00:21.770 --> 00:23.937
force maneuver for global operations .

00:27.090 --> 00:28.923
We move mobility guardian to the

00:28.923 --> 00:31.034
Pacific this year because it's hard .

00:31.034 --> 00:32.757
We want it to be intentionally

00:32.757 --> 00:35.310
difficult on ourselves . This is a much

00:35.319 --> 00:37.375
different a or than where we've been

00:37.375 --> 00:39.208
for the past 20 plus years . The

00:39.208 --> 00:41.263
geographical space that we occupy is

00:41.263 --> 00:43.486
very small . We have to be light and we

00:43.486 --> 00:44.486
have to be lean .

00:58.590 --> 01:00.701
Top three things I wanted the team to

01:00.701 --> 01:02.923
accomplish was exploding into theater ,

01:02.923 --> 01:04.979
establishing the hubs and spokes and

01:04.979 --> 01:07.146
operating at tempo and with confidence

01:07.146 --> 01:09.368
for practicing the ability to leave our

01:09.368 --> 01:11.201
home stations , go deploy into a

01:11.201 --> 01:13.440
theater and set up and begin generating

01:13.449 --> 01:16.250
missions to move cargo and move the

01:16.260 --> 01:18.500
transportation system as rapidly as

01:18.510 --> 01:22.069
possible . This theater is very vast .

01:22.080 --> 01:24.650
We're working with an area that's 4000

01:24.660 --> 01:27.680
miles distance from one location to the

01:27.690 --> 01:30.169
next . In a large scale humanitarian

01:30.180 --> 01:32.739
operation or combat operations . There

01:32.750 --> 01:34.806
will be air lift , there will be air

01:34.806 --> 01:37.925
refueling will be gams , there will be

01:37.944 --> 01:40.065
a medical evacuation and it's all

01:40.074 --> 01:42.352
controlled by command and control . So ,

01:42.352 --> 01:44.463
if we're not exercising that way , in

01:44.463 --> 01:46.685
practice , we're not going to learn the

01:46.685 --> 01:48.796
hard lessons to integrate all five of

01:48.796 --> 01:50.796
those capabilities in a large scale

01:50.796 --> 01:54.099
operation . If there were to be

01:54.110 --> 01:56.277
challenges with bringing the coalition

01:56.277 --> 01:58.209
forces out , it would be that we

01:58.220 --> 02:00.387
probably don't recognize the strengths

02:00.387 --> 02:02.387
that our partners have . Right . So

02:02.387 --> 02:04.553
oftentimes when we're trying to employ

02:04.553 --> 02:06.776
or deploy a coalition partner , we look

02:06.776 --> 02:08.887
at it as a holistic package , right ,

02:08.887 --> 02:11.053
that they have to come out here and be

02:11.053 --> 02:13.053
autonomous and support themselves .

02:13.053 --> 02:12.589
Something that's different about

02:12.600 --> 02:15.309
mobility guarding specifically here on

02:15.320 --> 02:17.487
Anderson is that there is one security

02:17.487 --> 02:20.710
forces team , there's one , a team in ,

02:21.285 --> 02:23.341
there's one loading team , an aerial

02:23.341 --> 02:25.563
port team integrated , the air planners

02:25.563 --> 02:28.005
are integrated , it's not one country

02:28.014 --> 02:30.184
operating and working for themselves

02:30.195 --> 02:32.195
independently . Everybody is coming

02:32.195 --> 02:34.964
together . So I think we've identified

02:34.975 --> 02:37.086
early on that . We don't have to look

02:37.086 --> 02:39.142
at the individual countries as being

02:39.142 --> 02:41.714
self supporting that we can co locate ,

02:41.725 --> 02:43.684
integrate completely and we can

02:43.695 --> 02:45.584
capitalize and create synergistic

02:45.584 --> 02:47.639
effects in this theater . Throughout

02:47.639 --> 02:51.279
the Pacific , we get to see what other

02:51.289 --> 02:53.511
countries are doing . We're not perfect

02:53.511 --> 02:55.511
and they're not perfect . So coming

02:55.511 --> 02:57.733
here in this exercise , it really gives

02:57.733 --> 02:59.733
us a grasp on what other people are

02:59.733 --> 03:01.789
doing that's working and we can find

03:01.789 --> 03:03.910
better solutions . I'm excited to be

03:03.919 --> 03:06.141
here to work with our friends and , and

03:06.141 --> 03:08.308
partners from across the globe so that

03:08.308 --> 03:10.475
when we do have to work together in an

03:10.475 --> 03:12.475
operational setting , we have those

03:12.475 --> 03:14.475
networks and friendships um already

03:14.475 --> 03:17.029
formed . Our allies are our best

03:17.039 --> 03:19.039
friends . At the end of the day , I

03:19.039 --> 03:21.059
can't wait to work with our United

03:21.070 --> 03:23.339
States air Force friends um closer in

03:23.350 --> 03:26.559
the future , whether it's the

03:26.570 --> 03:28.181
Afghanistan retrograde , the

03:28.181 --> 03:30.919
Afghanistan evac , the earthquake in

03:30.929 --> 03:33.830
Turkey support to Ukraine or the Neo in

03:33.839 --> 03:36.061
Africa , combine that with what we just

03:36.061 --> 03:38.172
did for mobility guardian . And there

03:38.172 --> 03:39.600
is no doubt in my mind , we are ready .
