1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,296 we practice at home . So we practice 3 00:00:08,296 --> 00:00:10,351 within our own units and then we get 4 00:00:10,351 --> 00:00:12,462 really good at that . Then what we're 5 00:00:12,462 --> 00:00:14,684 doing here is this is kind of simulated 6 00:00:14,684 --> 00:00:17,160 going to war F 35 A lightning two jets 7 00:00:17,170 --> 00:00:19,392 from the 4/19 Fighter wing touched down 8 00:00:19,392 --> 00:00:21,503 in savannah Georgia to participate in 9 00:00:21,503 --> 00:00:23,337 the Air National Guard's largest 10 00:00:23,337 --> 00:00:25,503 exercise Century savannah . This is an 11 00:00:25,503 --> 00:00:27,392 exercise that's put on by the Air 12 00:00:27,392 --> 00:00:27,200 National Guard here at the Combat 13 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,190 Readiness Training Center or CrtC in 14 00:00:30,190 --> 00:00:32,270 exercise Century Savannah units from 15 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,380 Active Duty Reserve and Air National 16 00:00:34,380 --> 00:00:36,380 Guard will take to the skies with a 17 00:00:36,380 --> 00:00:38,602 multitude of different aircraft as they 18 00:00:38,602 --> 00:00:40,769 practice and employ air dominance with 19 00:00:40,769 --> 00:00:42,940 the F 22 F 16 F fifteen's that are 20 00:00:42,940 --> 00:00:45,107 playing also in this exercise , we all 21 00:00:45,107 --> 00:00:47,107 get together and then we go out and 22 00:00:47,107 --> 00:00:49,218 train over the water and trained into 23 00:00:49,218 --> 00:00:51,218 that air dominance role . While the 24 00:00:51,218 --> 00:00:51,150 4/19 fighter wing is trained in 25 00:00:51,150 --> 00:00:52,872 savannah , they're active duty 26 00:00:52,872 --> 00:00:54,928 counterpart , the three 88th Fighter 27 00:00:54,928 --> 00:00:56,983 wing is participating in an exercise 28 00:00:56,983 --> 00:00:58,872 simulating a combat deployment at 29 00:00:58,872 --> 00:01:01,120 nellis Air Force Base Nevada . We are 30 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,470 augmenting the same combat movement by 31 00:01:03,470 --> 00:01:06,610 moving the 4/19 out to savannah so we 32 00:01:06,610 --> 00:01:08,790 can operate out of two bases and make 33 00:01:08,790 --> 00:01:10,957 sure that we have the proper footprint 34 00:01:10,957 --> 00:01:13,179 when it comes to maintenance support as 35 00:01:13,179 --> 00:01:15,179 well as the aircraft and the pilots 36 00:01:15,179 --> 00:01:17,123 available to exercise that type of 37 00:01:17,123 --> 00:01:18,901 deployment . The concept behind 38 00:01:18,901 --> 00:01:21,123 operating at two different bases is the 39 00:01:21,123 --> 00:01:23,068 foundation of aces or agile combat 40 00:01:23,068 --> 00:01:25,234 employment , which the 4/19 is looking 41 00:01:25,234 --> 00:01:27,179 to validate as a deployment method 42 00:01:27,179 --> 00:01:29,123 during their time in Savannah were 43 00:01:29,123 --> 00:01:31,123 practicing moving that footprint to 44 00:01:31,123 --> 00:01:33,290 include maintenance to include all the 45 00:01:33,290 --> 00:01:35,457 support assets , not just the aircraft 46 00:01:35,457 --> 00:01:37,179 and the pilots , but the whole 47 00:01:37,179 --> 00:01:39,290 enterprise moving and deploying . The 48 00:01:39,290 --> 00:01:41,401 culmination of this effort allows the 49 00:01:41,401 --> 00:01:43,234 4/19 to take on a unique type of 50 00:01:43,234 --> 00:01:45,123 training , low level , high speed 51 00:01:45,123 --> 00:01:46,957 flying over a vast body of water 52 00:01:46,980 --> 00:01:49,036 because it's such a large airspace . 53 00:01:49,036 --> 00:01:51,520 Were actually able to practice some of 54 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,576 our more advanced tactics so there's 55 00:01:53,576 --> 00:01:55,631 some things we get back home that we 56 00:01:55,631 --> 00:01:57,520 can't do here too . So having the 57 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,631 flexibility for us to move around the 58 00:01:59,631 --> 00:02:01,353 country and train in different 59 00:02:01,353 --> 00:02:03,687 locations is extremely important for us . 60 00:02:03,687 --> 00:02:05,798 The Reserve for 19th Fighter Wing and 61 00:02:05,798 --> 00:02:08,020 active duty three 88th Fighter Wing fly 62 00:02:08,020 --> 00:02:10,242 and maintain the fleet in a Total Force 63 00:02:10,242 --> 00:02:12,242 partnership that capitalizes on the 64 00:02:12,242 --> 00:02:14,464 strengths of both components together . 65 00:02:14,464 --> 00:02:16,576 They are the Air Force's first combat 66 00:02:16,576 --> 00:02:18,687 capable units to fly and deploy the F 67 00:02:18,687 --> 00:02:20,909 35 . I can't over emphasize that enough 68 00:02:20,909 --> 00:02:23,131 is how important it is for not only the 69 00:02:23,131 --> 00:02:24,964 4 19 fighter wing on the Reserve 70 00:02:24,964 --> 00:02:27,131 Fighter wing that we're in right now , 71 00:02:27,131 --> 00:02:29,187 but the F 35 Enterprise in general , 72 00:02:29,187 --> 00:02:31,409 extremely important for us to prove our 73 00:02:31,409 --> 00:02:33,353 ace capability because that is the 74 00:02:33,353 --> 00:02:33,180 fight of the future
