00:02.420 --> 00:04.198
Liz X is an exercise that we're

00:04.198 --> 00:05.920
conducting this weekend . It's

00:05.920 --> 00:08.430
simulating if our state in the western

00:08.439 --> 00:10.810
hemisphere was hit with a large scale

00:10.819 --> 00:14.380
winter storm and how we as a do ops

00:14.390 --> 00:16.500
team would be spun up to respond to

00:16.510 --> 00:18.288
that storm . So do ops domestic

00:18.288 --> 00:20.121
operations . So it's partnership

00:20.121 --> 00:22.350
between army and air . We come together

00:22.360 --> 00:24.249
and I think it's most beautifully

00:24.249 --> 00:26.680
stated that we are the resource that is

00:26.690 --> 00:30.079
activated when the state or each entity

00:30.090 --> 00:32.549
has hit their capacity and they need

00:32.560 --> 00:34.727
assistance . So they will call us in .

00:34.727 --> 00:36.504
We're looking at things that do

00:36.504 --> 00:39.080
commonly happen in North Dakota when

00:39.090 --> 00:41.146
we're talking about large amounts of

00:41.146 --> 00:43.319
snowfall , high winds , we talk about

00:43.330 --> 00:45.108
things that happen in different

00:45.108 --> 00:47.219
counties , you know , accidents along

00:47.219 --> 00:49.219
the roadside . Those are all things

00:49.219 --> 00:51.386
that we hear about all the time on the

00:51.386 --> 00:53.608
news . Um So yes , we do know that they

00:53.608 --> 00:55.830
could happen . Will they happen ? Yes ,

00:55.830 --> 00:57.886
probably will . We get spun up . Who

00:57.886 --> 00:59.569
knows ? But very realistic scenarios .
