00:09.630 --> 00:11.686
The US Air Force's new initiative to

00:11.686 --> 00:13.686
incorporate small unmanned aircraft

00:13.686 --> 00:15.741
systems into training across various

00:15.741 --> 00:17.574
career fields kicked off with an

00:17.574 --> 00:19.741
initial exercise at Joint Base McGuire

00:19.741 --> 00:21.963
Lakehurst , New Jersey . The program is

00:21.963 --> 00:23.963
designed to equip every airman with

00:23.963 --> 00:25.908
basic drone operational training ,

00:25.908 --> 00:28.019
ensuring airmen are familiar with the

00:28.019 --> 00:30.241
technology's capabilities and potential

00:30.241 --> 00:32.463
impact on modern warfare . The training

00:32.463 --> 00:34.297
success paves the way for future

00:34.297 --> 00:36.519
exercises , reshaping the future of Air

00:36.519 --> 00:38.574
Force operations and emphasizing the

00:38.574 --> 00:40.741
importance of adaptability in the face

00:40.741 --> 00:42.574
of evolving global threats . The

00:42.574 --> 00:44.930
electrocardiogram risk assessment or

00:44.970 --> 00:47.369
EASE is reducing sudden cardiac events

00:47.369 --> 00:49.313
in recruits and service members by

00:49.313 --> 00:51.647
bringing back early detection processes .

00:52.240 --> 00:54.330
Each year over 200 active duty

00:54.330 --> 00:56.608
personnel suffer sudden cardiac arrest ,

00:56.770 --> 00:58.603
and the initiative evaluates the

00:58.603 --> 01:00.770
feasibility of resuming ECG screenings

01:00.770 --> 01:03.049
across the Department of Defense . Its

01:03.049 --> 01:05.271
success led Congress demanded expansion

01:05.271 --> 01:07.216
to all service academies and basic

01:07.216 --> 01:09.629
training sites . Programs like EAS are

01:09.629 --> 01:11.685
leading the way toward a healthier ,

01:11.685 --> 01:13.907
more resilient future for America's war

01:13.907 --> 01:17.750
fighters . In a historic first for Air

01:17.750 --> 01:19.972
Mobility Command , airmen at Joint Base

01:19.972 --> 01:22.190
Lewis-McChord conducted a C-17

01:22.190 --> 01:24.029
Globemaster 3 training flight to

01:24.029 --> 01:25.940
execute aerial refueling with a

01:25.940 --> 01:29.269
commercial KDC-10B . Commercial

01:29.269 --> 01:31.102
collaboration offers a potential

01:31.102 --> 01:32.713
solution to limited training

01:32.713 --> 01:34.779
opportunities , and while KDC 10B

01:34.779 --> 01:37.001
utilizes a different refueling system ,

01:37.001 --> 01:39.112
the procedures remain consistent with

01:39.112 --> 01:40.946
established national standards ,

01:40.946 --> 01:43.112
ensuring a seamless transition for air

01:43.112 --> 01:45.279
crews . The historic refueling mission

01:45.279 --> 01:47.279
underscores the 60-second air wings

01:47.279 --> 01:49.501
commitment to overcoming challenges and

01:49.501 --> 01:51.779
maintaining peak operational readiness .

01:51.779 --> 01:54.057
That is your look around the Air Force .
