1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:02,260 Mhm . Mhm . 2 00:00:05,940 --> 00:00:06,940 Mhm . 3 00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:13,750 Yeah . Article 2021 . It's a medical 4 00:00:13,750 --> 00:00:16,520 mission led by the US Air Force um in 5 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,687 combination with all the other service 6 00:00:18,687 --> 00:00:20,853 components and what we're specifically 7 00:00:20,853 --> 00:00:23,020 doing here is providing service to six 8 00:00:23,020 --> 00:00:25,076 of the remote villages within kodiak 9 00:00:25,076 --> 00:00:27,076 and the city of kodiak . The Marine 10 00:00:27,076 --> 00:00:29,076 Corps main mission here has been to 11 00:00:29,076 --> 00:00:31,020 facilitate the movement of medical 12 00:00:31,020 --> 00:00:30,690 personnel as well as all the medical 13 00:00:30,690 --> 00:00:33,210 equipment in order to get that care to 14 00:00:33,210 --> 00:00:37,060 the community . This isn't 15 00:00:37,060 --> 00:00:39,393 something that we normally do for an 80 . 16 00:00:39,393 --> 00:00:39,300 So it's good to get this type of 17 00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:41,522 training in there because normally back 18 00:00:41,522 --> 00:00:43,990 at my unit , when we go on a . T . S . 19 00:00:43,990 --> 00:00:45,990 And stuff like that , it's normally 20 00:00:45,990 --> 00:00:47,990 just picking up generators dropping 21 00:00:47,990 --> 00:00:49,712 them off where they need to be 22 00:00:49,712 --> 00:00:51,934 floodlights provide light to marines in 23 00:00:51,934 --> 00:00:53,934 the dark . But stuff like this , we 24 00:00:53,934 --> 00:00:56,101 don't really get to do unload paradise 25 00:00:56,101 --> 00:00:58,323 materials from seven tons and load them 26 00:00:58,323 --> 00:01:00,379 up to the birds . It's not something 27 00:01:00,379 --> 00:01:02,546 that we do all the time . So we unload 28 00:01:02,546 --> 00:01:01,940 these , we're gonna drop them off 29 00:01:01,940 --> 00:01:04,051 inside . This is the stuff that we're 30 00:01:04,051 --> 00:01:06,051 gonna send out to the sites for the 31 00:01:06,051 --> 00:01:08,162 marines that we got out there helping 32 00:01:08,162 --> 00:01:10,496 the people of kodiak supply medical aid , 33 00:01:10,496 --> 00:01:12,440 dental commentary and veterinarian 34 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,090 services the training valley here in 35 00:01:15,090 --> 00:01:17,360 support of a real mission . And not 36 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,416 only that , but you're doing it in a 37 00:01:19,416 --> 00:01:21,471 joint environment . It allows you to 38 00:01:21,471 --> 00:01:23,582 integrate with service components and 39 00:01:23,582 --> 00:01:25,638 service members to have your similar 40 00:01:25,638 --> 00:01:27,860 mos so that you can learn from them and 41 00:01:27,860 --> 00:01:30,027 they can learn from you . So again you 42 00:01:30,027 --> 00:01:32,193 can become proficient in your mos with 43 00:01:32,193 --> 00:01:34,304 your tactics as well as theirs . So I 44 00:01:34,304 --> 00:01:36,027 think we've made this training 45 00:01:36,027 --> 00:01:37,804 different than any other annual 46 00:01:37,804 --> 00:01:40,027 training we've done recently is that we 47 00:01:40,027 --> 00:01:42,249 were able to provide real world support 48 00:01:42,249 --> 00:01:44,138 to Americans here in Alaska . The 49 00:01:44,138 --> 00:01:46,360 marines of the mm 764 were able to help 50 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,304 get medical services to people who 51 00:01:48,304 --> 00:01:51,740 needed them . Yeah , even though uh , 52 00:01:51,750 --> 00:01:54,150 this I . R . T . Article 2021 is a 53 00:01:54,150 --> 00:01:56,206 medical mission , it is important to 54 00:01:56,206 --> 00:01:58,428 highlight the fact that there have been 55 00:01:58,428 --> 00:02:00,539 hundreds of other service members and 56 00:02:00,539 --> 00:02:02,372 individuals supporting uh , this 57 00:02:02,372 --> 00:02:04,594 mission without any medical specialty . 58 00:02:04,594 --> 00:02:06,817 You know , the Marine Corps brought the 59 00:02:06,817 --> 00:02:09,150 air assets , they brought the logistics , 60 00:02:09,150 --> 00:02:11,094 they brought the operations , they 61 00:02:11,094 --> 00:02:13,317 brought the food service , they brought 62 00:02:13,317 --> 00:02:15,206 the communications and many other 63 00:02:15,206 --> 00:02:16,928 capabilities . That I think is 64 00:02:16,928 --> 00:02:18,928 definitely worth highlighting . The 65 00:02:18,928 --> 00:02:20,983 main point of RT is training for the 66 00:02:20,983 --> 00:02:22,928 military . The real impact again , 67 00:02:22,928 --> 00:02:22,810 isn't that when service members are 68 00:02:22,810 --> 00:02:24,810 involved in this training , they're 69 00:02:24,810 --> 00:02:26,977 getting proficiency , but they get the 70 00:02:26,977 --> 00:02:28,866 satisfaction of knowing that what 71 00:02:28,866 --> 00:02:28,830 they're doing is actually making a 72 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:29,760 difference in someone's life .
