00:02.829 --> 00:04.885
My name is Colonel Rusty Bauer , the

00:04.885 --> 00:06.885
wing commander of the 182nd airlift

00:06.885 --> 00:08.996
wing . And I'm here as the detachment

00:08.996 --> 00:11.162
commander for all C 130 s operating at

00:11.162 --> 00:13.273
Wounds Air Base for Air defender . 23

00:13.273 --> 00:15.273
we're here operating C 130 tactical

00:15.273 --> 00:17.690
airlift , primarily trans loading the C

00:17.700 --> 00:20.030
17 cargo to C 130 S throughout all the

00:20.040 --> 00:22.420
bases and air defender operating with

00:22.430 --> 00:25.479
16 different wings . We have 10 C 130

00:25.489 --> 00:27.322
wings with aircraft of different

00:27.322 --> 00:30.325
variants ranging from the C 132 to the

00:30.334 --> 00:33.224
C 130 H three and then the C 130 Js

00:33.235 --> 00:36.084
from Kentucky and Texas . The C 130 s

00:36.095 --> 00:38.095
here operating at Wounds . Stor are

00:38.095 --> 00:40.095
really the backbone of the exercise

00:40.095 --> 00:42.095
because the fighters could not even

00:42.095 --> 00:44.262
operate or go into their camo areas to

00:44.262 --> 00:46.262
do their exercises . If they didn't

00:46.262 --> 00:48.428
have C 130 s getting the cargo there .

00:48.428 --> 00:50.484
It's a pleasure for me to be here to

00:50.484 --> 00:52.706
see what the C 130 S are doing . To see

00:52.706 --> 00:54.873
all the different operations . That we

00:54.873 --> 00:54.450
can conduct other than just tactical

00:54.459 --> 00:56.626
air lift . We can still do personnel ,

00:56.626 --> 00:58.737
we can do various types of drops . We

00:58.737 --> 01:00.959
do hub and spoke operations . We can do

01:00.959 --> 01:03.070
specialized fuel operations . I could

01:03.070 --> 01:05.292
be more proud of the 182nd airlift wing

01:05.292 --> 01:07.515
because we are really the lead unit for

01:07.515 --> 01:10.089
air defender . 23 for the C 130 . We

01:10.099 --> 01:12.155
have a maintenance group commander ,

01:12.155 --> 01:14.099
operations group commander , C 130

01:14.099 --> 01:16.559
tactics . Our ID wing commander here is

01:16.569 --> 01:19.150
the O IC for the C 130 operation . And

01:19.160 --> 01:21.271
we brought that the pure away all the

01:21.271 --> 01:23.382
way across the world and we were able

01:23.382 --> 01:25.549
to collaborate with 16 different units

01:25.549 --> 01:27.660
with all these different variants and

01:27.660 --> 01:27.580
make it happen . I think out of the

01:27.589 --> 01:29.811
gate was probably pretty surprising the

01:29.811 --> 01:32.145
amount of hours that we were putting in ,

01:32.145 --> 01:34.367
but everybody brought their , a game as

01:34.367 --> 01:33.750
well and it just made us all stronger

01:33.760 --> 01:34.510
for doing so .
