(upbeat rock music)

00:12.083 --> 00:13.440
- [General Goldfein] Today's
Mission Support Group

00:13.440 --> 00:16.480
Commander, today's Wing
Commander, has got to be prepared

00:16.480 --> 00:18.410
to go forward and do five things.

00:18.410 --> 00:20.400
Number one we got to be
able to establish our bases.

00:20.400 --> 00:22.100
We have to be able to defend that base.

00:22.100 --> 00:24.390
We gotta be able to
receive follow-on forces.

00:24.390 --> 00:25.990
We gotta be able to
establish command and control

00:25.990 --> 00:27.180
to higher headquarters.

00:27.180 --> 00:28.658
And we have to be able to fight that base

00:28.658 --> 00:30.570
in a contested environment.

00:30.570 --> 00:33.720
So how do we, as an Air Force, look at

00:33.720 --> 00:37.430
the echelons of command
responsible for going forward

00:37.430 --> 00:40.360
to an immature fight, and
ensure that we understand

00:40.360 --> 00:42.560
those tasks, and are developing
and training ourselves

00:42.560 --> 00:43.937
for those tasks?

00:43.937 --> 00:46.330
That's the challenge ahead of us.

00:46.330 --> 00:49.858
No matter which adversary
or what location,

00:49.858 --> 00:52.840
in any fight against a peer competitor,

00:52.840 --> 00:54.989
the Air Force is gonna
be central to that fight.

00:54.989 --> 00:57.906
