WEBVTT 00:02.170 --> 00:04.480 Mass two is the Premier Aviation 00:04.489 --> 00:06.570 Command and Control unit in the Indo 00:06.599 --> 00:09.180 Pacific region . We provide all the 00:09.189 --> 00:11.319 Marine Corps procedural aviation 00:11.329 --> 00:13.390 command and control . We've got our 00:13.399 --> 00:15.621 communications marines that are setting 00:15.621 --> 00:17.843 up and employing all of our command and 00:17.843 --> 00:19.955 control communication systems . We've 00:19.955 --> 00:22.121 got our 72 08 and 7242 marines . Those 00:22.121 --> 00:24.010 are the direct air support center 00:24.010 --> 00:26.010 marines that are actually providing 00:26.010 --> 00:28.288 simulated aviation command and control . 00:28.288 --> 00:30.288 We've got our motor T and utilities 00:30.288 --> 00:29.899 marines providing us the power and 00:29.909 --> 00:32.020 transportation that we and so I think 00:32.020 --> 00:34.242 having a solid group out here , they're 00:34.242 --> 00:36.353 going to support each other and knows 00:36.353 --> 00:38.520 each other and , you know , is able to 00:38.520 --> 00:40.631 form tight bonds . I think having all 00:40.631 --> 00:42.742 that really helps to push through the 00:42.742 --> 00:42.575 challenges that are sometimes present 00:42.615 --> 00:44.504 with the in the field . It really 00:44.504 --> 00:46.671 brings the whole squadron together and 00:46.671 --> 00:48.559 shows what each of the individual 00:48.559 --> 00:50.782 sections is able to do and accomplish . 04:19.149 --> 04:22.100 We are constantly just all over the 04:22.109 --> 04:24.350 place , supporting exercises all across 04:24.359 --> 04:26.890 the Indo paycom region , you know , in 04:26.899 --> 04:29.970 live and simulated uh scenarios . Uh 04:29.980 --> 04:32.290 providing procedural control to 04:32.299 --> 04:34.521 aircraft , providing safety of flight , 04:34.521 --> 04:36.779 integrating aviation with surface fires 04:36.790 --> 04:39.068 integrating aviation with ground units , 04:39.068 --> 04:41.068 providing immediate requests to the 04:41.068 --> 04:43.234 ground units . And we do that all over 04:43.234 --> 04:44.234 the indo paycom , 05:08.890 --> 05:10.950 most things through uh the shelters 05:10.959 --> 05:14.130 that we use for our systems . And then 05:14.140 --> 05:16.690 of course , vehicles , uh things like 05:16.700 --> 05:19.429 that and we've got uh man portable 05:19.440 --> 05:22.570 radios . We've got the Mrq thirteens , 05:22.579 --> 05:24.839 those um communication vics that can 05:24.850 --> 05:27.570 power amplifier radios , got our Mrq 05:27.579 --> 05:30.309 140 or 140 fives and mark 148 that are 05:30.320 --> 05:33.070 able to ride UHFVHFHF . So we're able 05:33.079 --> 05:35.246 to use those as like a mobile aviation 05:35.246 --> 05:37.468 command and control unit , what we call 05:37.468 --> 05:39.635 an air support element . Um We're able 05:39.635 --> 05:39.480 to push those out . They're highly 05:39.489 --> 05:42.500 mobile within our desk system or within 05:42.510 --> 05:44.843 direct air support center . Our marines . 05:44.843 --> 05:46.954 The whole thing is information flow . 05:46.954 --> 05:49.066 It's who needs to know what , when do 05:49.066 --> 05:51.066 they need to know it ? What do they 05:51.066 --> 05:53.010 need to know ? Um And passing that 05:53.010 --> 05:52.649 information in a concise and timely 05:52.660 --> 05:55.559 manner . Uh So , you know , we're able 05:55.570 --> 05:57.626 to practice that through the various 05:57.626 --> 05:59.848 simulations and drills that we run . Um 05:59.848 --> 06:01.940 We're able to um practice that and 06:01.950 --> 06:05.549 improve upon that by um injecting level 06:05.649 --> 06:07.760 of simulated friction . So out here , 06:07.760 --> 06:09.538 of course , we've got some very 06:09.538 --> 06:11.760 experienced staff , NC OS that are very 06:11.760 --> 06:13.482 much driving everything that's 06:13.482 --> 06:15.482 happening out here . We've got very 06:15.482 --> 06:17.427 competent uh NC OS that are really 06:17.427 --> 06:19.705 driving it . So having that experience , 06:19.705 --> 06:19.579 leadership that's able to show what 06:19.589 --> 06:21.899 right looks like and how to get there , 06:21.929 --> 06:24.040 uh is crucial for something like this 06:24.040 --> 06:26.262 where we have a lot of moving parts . A 06:26.262 --> 06:28.485 lot of people in a very big open area , 06:28.485 --> 06:30.651 having those experienced individuals , 06:30.651 --> 06:32.707 those leaders huge for accomplishing 06:32.707 --> 06:34.262 what we need to do . Mass . 07:19.100 --> 07:21.267 I'm a first lieutenant Madison Hamby . 07:21.267 --> 07:23.600 I'm with Marine Air Sports squadron two . 07:23.600 --> 07:25.656 So the Marine Corps combat readiness 07:25.656 --> 07:27.711 evaluation is a buying a requirement 07:27.711 --> 07:27.529 for all units across the Marine Corps . 07:27.540 --> 07:29.690 Basically , each unit has a set of 07:29.700 --> 07:31.867 tasks , mission , essential tasks that 07:31.867 --> 07:34.089 they're given per the Marine Corps that 07:34.089 --> 07:36.200 they have to be able to execute . And 07:36.200 --> 07:35.570 the Marine Corps combat readiness 07:35.579 --> 07:38.690 exercise is evaluation is a 07:38.700 --> 07:41.230 requirement where evaluators will 07:41.239 --> 07:43.859 actually come out and determine whether 07:43.869 --> 07:45.929 or not units are able to accomplish 07:45.940 --> 07:47.662 their assigned tasks . So it's 07:47.662 --> 07:49.718 important to be able to show that we 07:49.718 --> 07:51.940 are able to do what the Marine Corps is 07:51.940 --> 07:51.549 tasking us to do . So what our mission 07:51.559 --> 07:54.359 is , we're able to show every two years 07:54.369 --> 07:56.536 that we're actually able to go out and 07:56.536 --> 07:58.647 do it . So all the things that we are 07:58.647 --> 08:00.647 tasked with providing to the Marine 08:00.647 --> 08:02.869 Corps specifically for Aviation Command 08:02.869 --> 08:05.036 and control will to show to the Marine 08:05.036 --> 08:07.258 Corps that we are able to provide those 08:07.258 --> 08:09.258 tasks and accomplish that mission . 08:09.258 --> 08:11.369 These exercises contribute to overall 08:11.369 --> 08:14.019 Marine Corps readiness by showing what 08:14.070 --> 08:16.237 units across the Marine Corps are able 08:16.237 --> 08:18.348 to do what we're able to accomplish . 08:18.348 --> 08:20.237 Basically what we're able to self 08:20.237 --> 08:22.459 support , what we're able to go out and 08:22.459 --> 08:24.570 do what our marines , our equipment , 08:24.570 --> 08:26.570 our systems are able to do uh in an 08:26.570 --> 08:28.626 expeditionary field environment . So 08:28.626 --> 08:30.848 this prepares for the future by showing 08:30.848 --> 08:32.848 us the things that we need to , you 08:32.848 --> 08:32.229 know , we're solid on things that we're 08:32.239 --> 08:34.239 good with uh things that we need to 08:34.239 --> 08:34.609 improve upon .
