00:07.570 --> 00:10.000
The purpose of the expeditionary blood

00:10.000 --> 00:13.729
transshipment center is to get the

00:13.729 --> 00:15.850
blood from the donor centers back in

00:15.850 --> 00:19.290
the US here to the AOR and we're the

00:19.290 --> 00:21.649
sole expeditionary blood shipment

00:21.649 --> 00:24.610
center for the AOR so we'll go ahead

00:24.610 --> 00:27.170
and get all the blood received here and

00:27.170 --> 00:29.170
then we'll disperse it around the

00:29.170 --> 00:30.129
absent AOR .

00:36.049 --> 00:39.080
It's just 2 of us , but , uh , as a

00:39.080 --> 00:41.136
volunteer myself , uh , they'll pull

00:41.136 --> 00:43.247
maybe 4 or 5 volunteers . They can be

00:43.247 --> 00:45.610
from anywhere . It's absolutely

00:45.610 --> 00:47.721
critical that we send out these blood

00:47.721 --> 00:49.943
products , very , very important . They

00:49.943 --> 00:51.999
have the blood that they need . Uh ,

00:51.999 --> 00:54.110
sometimes you just go out to the guys

00:54.110 --> 00:56.221
doing missions . I would say it's one

00:56.221 --> 00:58.520
of the most critical missions that

00:58.580 --> 01:01.229
CENTCOM has to offer because there is

01:01.250 --> 01:04.250
other missions that rely on our blood

01:04.250 --> 01:06.417
to get there , you know , it's a go or

01:06.417 --> 01:08.583
no go if they don't have it they might

01:08.583 --> 01:10.639
not be able to do their mission , so

01:10.639 --> 01:10.510
it's very critical .
