00:03.190 --> 00:05.190
The 21st Air Task Force has several

00:05.190 --> 00:06.968
goals for the exercise . At the

00:06.968 --> 00:09.079
individual airmen level , our hope is

00:09.079 --> 00:11.079
that the airmen learn that they are

00:11.079 --> 00:13.134
more than just their singular AFSC ,

00:13.134 --> 00:15.246
that they're part of something bigger

00:15.246 --> 00:14.819
than themselves . As they've come

00:14.819 --> 00:17.041
together as multi-functional teams have

00:17.041 --> 00:19.263
experienced multi-ready airmen training

00:19.263 --> 00:21.430
throughout the week , I expect them to

00:21.430 --> 00:23.652
learn that they can do amazing things .

00:23.780 --> 00:26.058
So I think the train prepared us to #1 ,

00:26.058 --> 00:27.836
work as a team , and number 2 ,

00:27.836 --> 00:29.780
understand that the subject matter

00:29.780 --> 00:32.002
expert may not be with us where we go .

00:32.002 --> 00:34.224
Um , we do have a good understanding of

00:34.224 --> 00:36.447
how to get the mission accomplished . A

00:36.447 --> 00:38.391
year ago , the 21st Air Task Force

00:38.391 --> 00:40.669
didn't exist , at least not in reality ,

00:40.669 --> 00:42.724
lived only on paper and in that time

00:42.724 --> 00:45.279
we've established operations at DS Air

00:45.279 --> 00:47.335
Force Base , Joint Base Charleston .

00:47.830 --> 00:50.419
And Eglin Air Force Base from those

00:50.419 --> 00:52.363
bases our mission partners provide

00:52.363 --> 00:54.252
airmen who have assembled here at

00:54.252 --> 00:56.252
Tyndall Air Force Base for the very

00:56.252 --> 00:58.308
first time to execute our very first

00:58.308 --> 01:01.029
field training exercise . Airmen across

01:01.029 --> 01:03.680
the spectrum of AFFCs across the

01:03.680 --> 01:05.569
spectrum of experience levels and

01:05.569 --> 01:07.791
across the spectrum of time and service

01:07.791 --> 01:10.029
have come together to build cohesive

01:10.029 --> 01:11.862
teams to get after mission ready

01:11.862 --> 01:13.973
training and to do things they didn't

01:13.973 --> 01:16.140
think were possible and certainly that

01:16.140 --> 01:18.251
they haven't been exposed to before .

01:18.251 --> 01:20.362
I'm proud of how far we've come and I

01:20.362 --> 01:19.519
look forward to where we're going .
