00:00.009 --> 00:03.349
Right outside of it . As an athlete ,

00:03.410 --> 00:05.521
when you're getting ready to run your

00:05.521 --> 00:05.380
race , you don't just get up and run

00:05.380 --> 00:07.750
your race . You train for it ahead of

00:07.750 --> 00:09.861
time and then you're mentally walking

00:09.861 --> 00:11.917
through the thought process . That's

00:11.917 --> 00:13.306
what organs do for you .

00:17.250 --> 00:19.250
So the first thing I want people to

00:19.250 --> 00:21.250
understand it's not really a game ,

00:21.250 --> 00:23.361
it's really preparation for war , and

00:23.361 --> 00:25.472
ultimately war games are really there

00:25.472 --> 00:27.694
to train our force , take a look at how

00:27.694 --> 00:29.861
we should invest in our resources , as

00:29.861 --> 00:32.083
well as teaching decision makers how to

00:32.083 --> 00:34.194
make decisions in a zerog environment

00:34.194 --> 00:36.472
so they can learn the good and the bad ,

00:36.472 --> 00:38.472
bringing in experts from around the

00:38.472 --> 00:40.306
Department of Defense , whole of

00:40.306 --> 00:42.417
government , State Department , etc .

00:42.417 --> 00:44.028
to provide the most accurate

00:44.028 --> 00:46.139
representation of what we think , how

00:46.139 --> 00:48.250
the US would respond . As well as how

00:48.250 --> 00:50.194
we think our adversaries think and

00:50.194 --> 00:52.417
react to the battle space environment .

00:52.417 --> 00:54.583
War games could be anywhere from a 500

00:54.583 --> 00:56.806
war game , large blue force , large red

00:56.806 --> 00:58.694
force down to 50 people in a room

00:58.694 --> 01:00.750
working through issues and resolving

01:00.750 --> 01:02.909
those in real time with a very small

01:02.909 --> 01:05.131
amount of cost , we can do war games to

01:05.131 --> 01:07.131
prep for that stuff up front . It's

01:07.131 --> 01:09.353
perm cost , right ? A couple of airline

01:09.353 --> 01:09.309
tickets , a little bit of money before

01:09.309 --> 01:11.420
you're here , and so it's pittance on

01:11.420 --> 01:13.365
the overall amount of money for an

01:13.365 --> 01:15.531
exercise . So we can do again the reps

01:15.531 --> 01:17.970
and sets . Why would want to waste half

01:17.970 --> 01:20.250
a billion dollars doing an exercise and

01:20.250 --> 01:22.472
then we spend the entire time trying to

01:22.472 --> 01:24.639
resolve issues , we lose all that time

01:24.639 --> 01:27.050
and capability . If I can't train as a

01:27.050 --> 01:29.330
joint force in a non-threatening

01:29.330 --> 01:31.552
environment at zero Gs , how am I going

01:31.552 --> 01:33.849
to do that in ? We have to go back to

01:33.849 --> 01:36.016
what we knew and how we trained in the

01:36.016 --> 01:38.238
80s and the way to do that is exercises

01:38.238 --> 01:40.405
and war games . So these exercises are

01:40.405 --> 01:42.571
gonna help us one break down the stove

01:42.571 --> 01:44.738
pipes , learn how to integrate , learn

01:44.738 --> 01:44.330
how to collaborate and how to be more

01:44.330 --> 01:45.919
effective as an air force .

01:58.500 --> 01:59.209
I up in here .
