00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000


2
00:00:07,580 --> 00:00:10,010
This is a historic night for the 20th 

3
00:00:10,010 --> 00:00:12,790
fire wing . For some years , we've been 

4
00:00:12,790 --> 00:00:15,130
trying to increase the amount of air 

5
00:00:15,130 --> 00:00:16,852
space we have for our training 

6
00:00:16,852 --> 00:00:19,080
operations . Dynamic airspace is the 

7
00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:21,280
term that air combat command is using 

8
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,220
to solve airspace issues . So 

9
00:00:23,220 --> 00:00:25,480
specifically threats have modernized 

10
00:00:25,490 --> 00:00:27,490
our aircraft here at shot receiving 

11
00:00:27,505 --> 00:00:30,135
upgrades and tactics have modernized as 

12
00:00:30,135 --> 00:00:32,357
well . So it's time for us to modernize 

13
00:00:32,357 --> 00:00:34,579
our training environment , specifically 

14
00:00:34,579 --> 00:00:36,468
the airspace to account for these 

15
00:00:36,468 --> 00:00:38,691
changes . Additionally , our maintainer 

16
00:00:38,691 --> 00:00:40,913
teammates are able to generate a higher 

17
00:00:40,913 --> 00:00:40,465
number of aircraft than they 

18
00:00:40,465 --> 00:00:42,521
historically have so we can practice 

19
00:00:42,521 --> 00:00:43,909
large force employment . 

20
00:00:46,310 --> 00:00:49,180
It is our job as maintainers to provide 

21
00:00:49,180 --> 00:00:51,170
combat ready , safe and effective 

22
00:00:51,170 --> 00:00:53,480
aircraft at any time at any place , 

23
00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:55,369
submission dictates . This was an 

24
00:00:55,369 --> 00:00:58,040
excellent opportunity for us to show 

25
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,280
that we can be flexible to push 

26
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:01,891
ourselves to be a little bit 

27
00:01:01,891 --> 00:01:04,230
uncomfortable from our , this was about 

28
00:01:04,230 --> 00:01:06,410
the flexibility required to bring all 

29
00:01:06,410 --> 00:01:08,220
those capabilities to bear at a 

30
00:01:08,220 --> 00:01:10,387
different time of the day . So I think 

31
00:01:10,387 --> 00:01:12,553
that's a really awesome way to grow as 

32
00:01:12,553 --> 00:01:14,664
a team . And I think that this , uh , 

33
00:01:14,664 --> 00:01:16,609
this secure initiative provided an 

34
00:01:16,609 --> 00:01:18,664
excellent opportunity for us to , to 

35
00:01:18,664 --> 00:01:20,609
test this in a , in a home station 

36
00:01:20,609 --> 00:01:20,280
training environment
