WEBVTT

00:00.009 --> 00:02.579
We like to train hard . We like to , to

00:02.589 --> 00:04.989
push the boundaries . So we want the

00:05.000 --> 00:07.056
our worst day , hopefully to be in a

00:07.056 --> 00:09.170
training environment versus out in a

00:09.180 --> 00:11.347
combat environment . So the game we're

00:11.347 --> 00:13.347
playing today is Kingfish Ace . And

00:13.347 --> 00:15.460
it's a strategy war game centered in

00:15.470 --> 00:17.790
the Indo Pacific Theater . And it

00:17.799 --> 00:21.069
enhances contingent response airmen's

00:21.079 --> 00:24.319
ability to see logistically what it

00:24.329 --> 00:26.989
takes to operate in the Indo on theater

00:27.000 --> 00:29.056
to get missions in and out , to move

00:29.056 --> 00:31.950
mobility aircraft and to get fighter

00:31.959 --> 00:34.759
aircraft have been spoke into that

00:34.770 --> 00:37.189
theater . So it is a game of chance .

00:37.200 --> 00:39.709
Uh you roll dice and it changes the ,

00:39.759 --> 00:41.870
the spectrum of what's going on . You

00:41.870 --> 00:44.092
can go from a crisis to a conflict mode

00:44.092 --> 00:45.981
and that changes the geopolitical

00:45.981 --> 00:48.148
environment that you're operating in .

00:48.148 --> 00:50.370
So you may have to retrograde out of an

00:50.370 --> 00:52.592
area that you previously were operating

00:52.592 --> 00:54.759
in and move forward somewhere else and

00:54.759 --> 00:56.926
you have to strategize , you know what

00:56.926 --> 00:58.981
you're taking with you , what can we

00:58.981 --> 01:01.037
leave and work as a team to , to get

01:01.037 --> 01:02.870
that done . We want to give them

01:02.870 --> 01:04.981
boundaries that they can operate in ,

01:04.981 --> 01:06.981
but don't give them exactly how you

01:06.981 --> 01:09.148
want it to be done . It's important to

01:09.148 --> 01:11.148
have that frame of mind because you

01:11.148 --> 01:13.203
never know what the mission is gonna

01:13.203 --> 01:15.092
turn into . You could go out on a

01:15.092 --> 01:17.037
mission expecting one thing and it

01:17.037 --> 01:16.769
could quickly turn into something else

01:16.779 --> 01:18.557
and being able to adapt in that

01:18.557 --> 01:20.501
environment . And maybe uh me as a

01:20.501 --> 01:22.612
maintainer , I'm pushing pilots now ,

01:22.612 --> 01:24.557
I'm not necessarily working on the

01:24.557 --> 01:26.779
aircraft , but having that knowledge is

01:26.779 --> 01:28.946
going to help me feel more comfortable

01:28.946 --> 01:29.610
in those types of situations .
