00:03.259 --> 00:06.000
So the , the modern air Force requires

00:06.010 --> 00:08.590
a lot of communications capability .

00:08.600 --> 00:10.933
Our mission is to deliver data networks ,

00:10.933 --> 00:12.822
both secure and non secure in the

00:12.822 --> 00:14.933
shortest amount of time possible . So

00:14.933 --> 00:16.822
if you're a combatant commander ,

00:16.822 --> 00:18.933
unique communications were the people

00:18.933 --> 00:21.100
to call and we're setting up two sites

00:21.100 --> 00:23.156
uh today . So that's uh what we call

00:23.156 --> 00:25.267
our flexible communications package .

00:25.267 --> 00:27.600
Um And so those are both gonna be using ,

00:27.600 --> 00:29.711
using a long haul satellite transport

00:29.711 --> 00:31.822
to , to enable that connectivity . Um

00:31.822 --> 00:33.711
They both are very much mi mirror

00:33.711 --> 00:35.767
images of each other . Um We used to

00:35.767 --> 00:37.822
have one big suite of communications

00:37.822 --> 00:39.933
capability and now we have three . So

00:39.933 --> 00:41.989
we have triple the capability um And

00:41.989 --> 00:44.100
that uses less people for each one of

00:44.100 --> 00:43.439
those . So we're able to support more

00:43.450 --> 00:45.849
customers and more uh areas uh of the

00:45.860 --> 00:49.619
world . So we know that our , our

00:49.630 --> 00:51.463
adversaries uh they're , they're

00:51.463 --> 00:53.519
training , they're getting , they're

00:53.519 --> 00:55.686
getting better . Um We're talking near

00:55.686 --> 00:57.686
Pier , near Pier rivals in the near

00:57.686 --> 00:59.908
future , which means the locations that

00:59.908 --> 00:59.689
we're going to are going to be a lot

00:59.700 --> 01:01.867
different . So for us to go out and in

01:01.867 --> 01:04.089
places like this , um a little bit more

01:04.089 --> 01:06.200
rural , uh , gives us the opportunity

01:06.200 --> 01:08.533
to , to see what things are really like ,

01:08.533 --> 01:10.533
um , and get some Real World , real

01:10.533 --> 01:12.644
world troubleshooting going on . Um ,

01:12.644 --> 01:14.644
because this is what we're going to

01:14.644 --> 01:16.756
encounter . One great thing about A T

01:16.756 --> 01:19.089
is the inner workings between the shops .

01:19.165 --> 01:20.998
And when you're back at the home

01:20.998 --> 01:23.221
station , you know , you might be doing

01:23.221 --> 01:25.276
CBT S that day , you might be very ,

01:25.276 --> 01:27.276
you know , self focused that day to

01:27.276 --> 01:26.955
make sure your training records are up

01:26.964 --> 01:29.131
to date . But when you're out here and

01:29.131 --> 01:31.131
you're trying to get your equipment

01:31.131 --> 01:30.764
going to make sure that your equipment

01:30.775 --> 01:32.886
is employable . Sometimes that , that

01:32.886 --> 01:34.886
means that you have to rely on your

01:34.886 --> 01:37.053
wingman who works in the shop adjacent

01:37.053 --> 01:39.219
to you . You'll learn a lot more about

01:39.219 --> 01:38.904
what it is . They do and how that

01:38.915 --> 01:41.082
affects what you do . And I think that

01:41.082 --> 01:43.082
plays into the air forces vision of

01:43.082 --> 01:44.035
multi capable airmen .
