00:02.700 --> 00:04.700
The TASE is the theater air medical

00:04.700 --> 00:07.409
evacuation system . It's made up of the

00:07.409 --> 00:09.520
AE crews , the critical air transport

00:09.520 --> 00:11.930
teams , the in and outs patient staging

00:11.930 --> 00:14.263
site , and our patient movement element .

00:14.263 --> 00:16.409
And during this exercise we forward

00:16.409 --> 00:19.209
deployed to an austere location where

00:19.209 --> 00:21.719
we created a bare bones base and runway

00:21.719 --> 00:23.719
from the ground up , and we started

00:23.719 --> 00:25.886
moving patients from the battlefield .

00:26.989 --> 00:28.989
We wanted to evaluate how our teams

00:28.989 --> 00:30.545
would function with limited

00:30.545 --> 00:32.810
capabilities and resupply as well as

00:32.810 --> 00:35.032
how they would operate in the contested

00:35.032 --> 00:37.040
environment with care under fire ,

00:37.209 --> 00:39.376
limited time on the runways , how fast

00:39.376 --> 00:41.487
could they move , how fast could they

00:41.487 --> 00:43.709
work together , how fast could they get

00:43.709 --> 00:43.569
up in the air with our partners in the

00:43.569 --> 00:46.709
front end crew as well . The taste has

00:46.709 --> 00:48.320
to be able to operate in any

00:48.320 --> 00:50.542
environment whether it's a humanitarian

00:50.542 --> 00:52.653
mission or down range and what we did

00:52.653 --> 00:54.598
this past week is we put them into

00:55.110 --> 00:56.832
situations where they would be

00:56.832 --> 00:59.054
uncomfortable and wouldn't see in their

00:59.054 --> 01:01.054
daily jobs , but we got them to the

01:01.054 --> 01:03.277
point where they were operating outside

01:03.277 --> 01:03.069
their comfort zone , and they are

01:03.069 --> 01:05.069
prepared for any environment in the

01:05.069 --> 01:07.180
future . This exercise included 7 Air

01:07.180 --> 01:09.709
Force UTCs , also included the Army

01:09.709 --> 01:11.931
Reserve component in Missouri . As well

01:11.931 --> 01:13.820
as US Transcom bringing the joint

01:13.820 --> 01:15.970
partners together to really test the

01:15.970 --> 01:18.026
system and stress the system here at

01:18.026 --> 01:20.137
Scott Air Force Base . This is my 2nd

01:20.137 --> 01:23.010
time working with airmen in a training

01:23.010 --> 01:25.232
environment , especially getting to see

01:25.232 --> 01:27.480
what the medical side of the Air Force

01:27.480 --> 01:29.809
is capable of . I think that having

01:29.809 --> 01:32.529
that joint experience does enhance the

01:32.529 --> 01:34.879
overall training is that we both share

01:35.059 --> 01:37.459
army side and Air Force side . We can't

01:37.459 --> 01:39.570
do it without each other , and that's

01:39.570 --> 01:41.792
the ultimate goal is bringing everybody

01:41.792 --> 01:43.903
together , working together , getting

01:43.903 --> 01:46.015
on the same page so that way whatever

01:46.015 --> 01:48.070
environment we're thrown into in the

01:48.070 --> 01:49.903
future we can operate on day one

01:49.903 --> 01:52.181
together and and bring mission success .

01:52.181 --> 01:54.403
This exercise shows that really the tas

01:54.403 --> 01:56.403
along with our joint partners we're

01:56.403 --> 01:58.515
ready for whatever comes and whenever

01:58.515 --> 01:58.519
that time comes .
