00:01.140 --> 00:03.084
So we're here to exercise Northern

00:03.084 --> 00:05.360
Strike up in the upper peninsula of

00:05.370 --> 00:08.080
Michigan . We today we just conducted

00:08.080 --> 00:10.180
some joint combat search and rescue

00:10.180 --> 00:13.800
training . That's the military's

00:13.810 --> 00:15.970
training that we put in to make sure

00:15.970 --> 00:19.560
that we are prepared and ready

00:19.570 --> 00:22.370
to go down and recover any sort of

00:22.380 --> 00:24.540
isolated person . Um No matter what

00:24.540 --> 00:27.550
situation it is , the fact that we're

00:27.550 --> 00:29.620
really far out here into some pretty

00:29.620 --> 00:32.370
remote wilderness does pose its own own

00:32.380 --> 00:35.680
challenges , but it also affords us the

00:35.680 --> 00:38.620
ability to really increase the realism

00:38.630 --> 00:42.360
of the training our army aviation

00:42.740 --> 00:44.796
people out here participating in the

00:44.796 --> 00:47.018
exercises who were who were playing the

00:47.018 --> 00:49.184
survivors on the ground . Um the whole

00:49.184 --> 00:51.018
exercise was kind of planned and

00:51.018 --> 00:53.350
orchestrated by the Air Force and then

00:53.360 --> 00:55.582
we also had a force aircraft in support

00:55.582 --> 00:57.693
of this . And then we also managed to

00:57.693 --> 00:59.860
get some Marine Corps aircraft as well

00:59.940 --> 01:02.107
when you come at it with that approach

01:02.107 --> 01:04.273
that you really tend to take away more

01:04.273 --> 01:06.384
from the experience because you learn

01:06.384 --> 01:08.551
what works for other branches and what

01:08.551 --> 01:10.662
doesn't work . And then we're able to

01:10.662 --> 01:10.650
put all that together . And each time I

01:10.650 --> 01:12.817
feel that we do this , we move forward

01:12.817 --> 01:14.983
and become better at combat search and

01:14.983 --> 01:14.760
rescue .
