Yes , the intensity , the pace , the
realism . All these teams hit the
ground running early Monday morning of
this week and it's a two week stretch
that will be nonstop . 24 7 . We are
showing everyone that we are ready to
project combat communications power
anywhere in the world at a moment's
notice , innovation , its preparation
and its readiness . One of the unique
capabilities that we have here embedded
within the fifth combat com group via
the fifth combat com support squadron
is our cadre of training instructors
and courses and the expertise that lies
within that squadron . But we also have
an own internal white cell . So it's
keeping everyone on their toes . And
that's the goal to help us learn and
grow as fast as possible with combative
or with asking them to handle weapons .
That is the two most unnerving things .
So you see this adrenaline , but you
don't really get a sense of how to
operate in a real world with a weapon .
We try to encourage people to be
comfortable and familiar with how to
maneuver the weapon . The people who
have been coming out from the round up
are they're volunteering to take these
positions . So it's people who are a
little bit thirsty to learn and they
want to learn . I've seen some growth
from people who aren't necessarily
comfortable . I'm glad that we're
making airmen actually be airmen and
knowing how to defend themselves . By
the end , they're all asking to roll .
They're actually asking to use the
skills that they've learned in this .
And so seeing them walk out of here
with a bit more confidence is all worth
it . The majority of the airmen that
come in through the course for land
navigation have never seen any land
navigation material before . Some of
the objectives are utilizing that
payout , utilizing that lens added
compass to convert an as myth into a
direction and moving from objective to
objective , finding our points out into
the woods and returning back safely .
When they come back from the practical ,
they're able to actually put everything
into play and practice you that compass .
So in real world environments , maybe
deployed locations , they would be able
to successfully accomplish a land
navigation mission . We have land N A ,
we have combatants , we have small unit
tactics , we have close quarter battle
tactics , but we also have technical
training that's going on courtesy of
that unit . We have , you know , sat
com training . We have training on new
equipment like the AC P and the fat
we're using , integrating UO star leak
HF radios , a litany of , of
capabilities and technology that , that
that unit the sport squad is able to
harness and then teach any of the
individuals out here . We have the only
deployable J books in the entire air
force that's actually a UTC uh as a ,
as everybody else is still trying to
build theirs . We're actually working
with the DGSS and the A OC to bring
those things forward to integrate our
black net , which is an A to agnostic
transport for any on with a pace
capability for her fail over uh
automatically uh that we maintain , we
manage , we're also the enterprise
provider for the TS systems . And when
you put those things together along
with the global command and control
system that we provide to the U A
nuclear Operations Center in every
command post that we could take in
jamming , feeds anything with a sensor
and look at them . So and get real time
situational awareness . You're actually
answering the CJ C two construct and
the concepts that we're trying to fight
in new safety . That's what we're
bringing to the fight . We have 28
units from all over the world ,
including coalition partners and over
200 people . And it's not just taking
place at Robins Air Force Base . People
are deploying via bill air from here to
four locations and then deploying again
from those forward locations to
contingency locations . So the scope of
this is is next level compared to
anything we've done before .
If you think you can play a role if you
think you can make us better . If you
think you can challenge us , then we
invite you . We invite you to come out
here . We invite you to participate .
We want you to challenge us because
we're going to challenge you . I am an
American airman . I am a warrior . I
have answered my nation's call . We
want to show the world that we are
ready and we are prepared .
