00:19.639 --> 00:21.695
The US Air Force's new initiative to

00:21.695 --> 00:23.695
incorporate small unmanned aircraft

00:23.695 --> 00:25.750
systems into training across various

00:25.750 --> 00:27.583
career fields kicked off with an

00:27.583 --> 00:29.750
initial exercise at Joint Base McGuire

00:29.750 --> 00:31.972
Lakehurst , New Jersey . The program is

00:31.972 --> 00:33.972
designed to equip every airman with

00:33.972 --> 00:35.917
basic drone operational training ,

00:35.917 --> 00:38.028
ensuring airmen are familiar with the

00:38.028 --> 00:40.250
technology's capabilities and potential

00:40.250 --> 00:42.472
impact on modern warfare . The training

00:42.472 --> 00:44.306
success paves the way for future

00:44.306 --> 00:46.528
exercises , reshaping the future of Air

00:46.528 --> 00:48.583
Force operations and emphasizing the

00:48.583 --> 00:50.750
importance of adaptability in the face

00:50.750 --> 00:52.583
of evolving global threats . The

00:52.583 --> 00:54.970
electrocardiogram risk assessment or

00:54.970 --> 00:57.369
EEAS is reducing sudden cardiac events

00:57.369 --> 00:59.330
in recruits and service members by

00:59.330 --> 01:01.663
bringing back early detection processes .

01:02.250 --> 01:04.330
Each year over 200 active duty

01:04.330 --> 01:06.608
personnel suffer sudden cardiac arrest ,

01:06.769 --> 01:08.602
and the initiative evaluates the

01:08.602 --> 01:10.769
feasibility of resuming ECG screenings

01:10.769 --> 01:13.050
across the Department of Defense . Its

01:13.050 --> 01:15.272
success led Congress demanded expansion

01:15.272 --> 01:17.217
to all service academies and basic

01:17.217 --> 01:19.639
training sites . Programs like EAS are

01:19.639 --> 01:21.695
leading the way toward a healthier ,

01:21.695 --> 01:23.917
more resilient future for America's war

01:23.917 --> 01:27.760
fighters . In a historic first for Air

01:27.760 --> 01:29.982
Mobility Command , airmen at Joint Base

01:29.982 --> 01:32.199
Lewis-McChord conducted a C-17

01:32.199 --> 01:34.040
Globemaster 3 training flight to

01:34.040 --> 01:35.949
execute aerial refueling with a

01:35.949 --> 01:39.279
commercial KDC-10B . Commercial

01:39.279 --> 01:41.112
collaboration offers a potential

01:41.112 --> 01:42.723
solution to limited training

01:42.723 --> 01:44.790
opportunities , and while KDC 10B

01:44.790 --> 01:47.012
utilizes a different refueling system ,

01:47.012 --> 01:49.123
the procedures remain consistent with

01:49.123 --> 01:50.957
established national standards ,

01:50.957 --> 01:53.123
ensuring a seamless transition for air

01:53.123 --> 01:55.290
crews . The historic refueling mission

01:55.290 --> 01:57.290
underscores the 60-second air wings

01:57.290 --> 01:59.512
commitment to overcoming challenges and

01:59.512 --> 02:01.790
maintaining peak operational readiness .

02:01.790 --> 02:04.068
That is your look around the Air Force .
