00:00.569 --> 00:02.680
Lieutenant Colonel Rob Effinger , I'm

00:02.680 --> 00:04.736
the Deputy Exercise director for the

00:04.736 --> 00:06.791
agile flag exercise going on here at

00:06.791 --> 00:08.902
March . What we accomplish with agile

00:08.902 --> 00:11.013
flag is we teach them or we test them

00:11.013 --> 00:12.958
how good are they at moving around

00:12.958 --> 00:16.219
through a dispersed operating area with

00:16.229 --> 00:18.709
logistics all while they're being

00:18.719 --> 00:21.489
targeted and fired upon . And so it's

00:21.500 --> 00:24.110
logistics under fire . It's really

00:24.120 --> 00:26.729
teaching the rest of the wing how to

00:26.739 --> 00:28.770
read operational threats and how to

00:28.780 --> 00:31.549
react to operational threats . MC

00:31.559 --> 00:33.720
stands for multi capable airmen .

00:33.930 --> 00:37.590
Basically what that is is a next man up

00:37.599 --> 00:40.389
option and if somebody were to get shot

00:40.400 --> 00:42.860
or hurt or injured , the other people

00:42.869 --> 00:45.810
are trained in different afs so that

00:45.819 --> 00:48.041
they're able to conduct their mission .

00:48.159 --> 00:51.580
Due to the ace concept , agile combat

00:51.590 --> 00:54.299
employment , we are going to be moving

00:54.310 --> 00:56.560
around to different locations . So

00:56.569 --> 00:59.159
we're not going to have the big bases

00:59.169 --> 01:01.391
like we used to . So we need this small

01:01.391 --> 01:03.560
team to go forward into an area that's

01:03.569 --> 01:05.791
not going to have any capabilities , no

01:05.791 --> 01:07.958
buildings , nothing . So they're going

01:07.958 --> 01:09.958
to be the ones that are going to do

01:09.958 --> 01:10.099
everything at that location .
