00:14.829 --> 00:16.829
127 th wing . I'm General Maman and

00:16.829 --> 00:19.129
welcome to the June drill . By the time

00:19.139 --> 00:21.250
you're watching this video , over 200

00:21.250 --> 00:23.361
of our airmen will be deployed to air

00:23.361 --> 00:25.472
defender 23 in Europe . This is going

00:25.472 --> 00:27.583
to be the largest guard deployment of

00:27.583 --> 00:29.695
aircraft and equipment . I believe in

00:29.695 --> 00:31.583
history to go support our partner

00:31.583 --> 00:34.580
nations across the ocean in Europe .

00:34.610 --> 00:36.950
Should be really a great deployment

00:36.959 --> 00:39.015
with some fantastic training for all

00:39.015 --> 00:41.599
those that are involved . We started

00:41.610 --> 00:44.040
out talking about the new air force

00:44.049 --> 00:46.630
deployment process in the last two

00:46.639 --> 00:48.583
videos and this video today is the

00:48.583 --> 00:51.290
final version of what we want to talk

00:51.299 --> 00:53.521
about . I want to specifically focus in

00:53.521 --> 00:55.919
on , on your training as an airman . So

00:55.930 --> 00:57.986
if you go back , the first video was

00:57.986 --> 00:59.652
all about the air force force

00:59.652 --> 01:01.874
generation model , which is really more

01:01.874 --> 01:04.041
of a corporate level air force thought

01:04.041 --> 01:06.263
process and how we're going to generate

01:06.263 --> 01:08.597
forces as an air force to go down range .

01:08.769 --> 01:10.949
The second video was all on force

01:10.959 --> 01:12.792
elements . The four that we have

01:12.792 --> 01:15.139
specifically here at the 127 wing and

01:15.150 --> 01:17.317
that's more of an organizational level

01:17.317 --> 01:19.539
thought of how we're going to deploy in

01:19.539 --> 01:21.761
the future . And now this video is more

01:21.761 --> 01:23.817
specifically on you as an airman and

01:23.817 --> 01:25.983
what's going to be expected of you and

01:25.983 --> 01:27.928
how we're going to train you to be

01:27.928 --> 01:29.817
successful in this new model . So

01:29.817 --> 01:31.983
there's two things that I want to talk

01:31.983 --> 01:34.206
about . One is ready airman training or

01:34.206 --> 01:36.261
rat training and the second is multi

01:36.261 --> 01:39.129
capable airman training or MC A . So

01:39.139 --> 01:41.870
let's first talk about rat in the past

01:41.879 --> 01:44.129
as we led up to a deployment , every

01:44.139 --> 01:47.000
airman had some sort of last minute or

01:47.010 --> 01:49.290
just in time training to accomplish the

01:49.300 --> 01:51.760
air force is going away from that model

01:51.769 --> 01:53.602
to more of a continuous training

01:53.602 --> 01:56.480
process across each individual agen

01:56.489 --> 01:59.339
cycle . So that rat training has 12

01:59.349 --> 02:01.405
modules within it . And depending on

02:01.405 --> 02:04.050
how many events you have to do within

02:04.059 --> 02:06.309
each of those models is really

02:06.319 --> 02:08.541
dependent on your experience level . So

02:08.550 --> 02:10.509
let me give you an example . Every

02:10.520 --> 02:12.742
airman is going to have to do some sort

02:12.742 --> 02:15.740
of training on C Bernie five times

02:15.750 --> 02:18.139
within an Afro gen cycle . Some of it

02:18.149 --> 02:20.371
could be a TQT where you're wearing the

02:20.371 --> 02:22.482
equipment , others could be classroom

02:22.482 --> 02:24.371
training , but there will be five

02:24.371 --> 02:26.538
events sometimes scheduled within your

02:26.538 --> 02:28.593
Afro cycle to do C Bernie training .

02:28.830 --> 02:31.119
Another example will be small arms

02:31.130 --> 02:33.130
training . If you're an experienced

02:33.130 --> 02:35.240
airman , you'll have to touch or do

02:35.250 --> 02:37.306
something with small arms four times

02:37.306 --> 02:39.139
within an Afro cycle . If you're

02:39.139 --> 02:41.194
inexperienced , however , it will be

02:41.194 --> 02:43.139
eight times that you'll have to do

02:43.139 --> 02:45.083
something with small arms and that

02:45.083 --> 02:45.070
could be classroom training or that

02:45.080 --> 02:47.191
could be actually shooting out at the

02:47.191 --> 02:49.191
range . So that's going to be a big

02:49.191 --> 02:51.413
change on how we're going to execute in

02:51.413 --> 02:53.469
the future . But you're not going to

02:53.469 --> 02:55.358
see as much just in time training

02:55.358 --> 02:57.580
before we go down range in a deployment

02:57.580 --> 02:59.802
situation . Now , I want to talk really

02:59.802 --> 03:01.913
briefly on multi capable airmen , but

03:01.913 --> 03:03.913
first let me go back and talk about

03:03.913 --> 03:06.080
their expeditionary force element that

03:06.080 --> 03:08.358
I talked about in the last drill video .

03:08.358 --> 03:10.580
Now , remember I said that that A B has

03:10.580 --> 03:12.413
to be able to support up to four

03:12.413 --> 03:14.413
mission generation elements at that

03:14.413 --> 03:16.839
location at that main operating base .

03:16.850 --> 03:19.059
But another requirement that the SAB

03:19.070 --> 03:21.479
will have to do is to support up to

03:21.490 --> 03:23.729
three contingency locations spread

03:23.740 --> 03:26.960
throughout the area of responsibility

03:26.970 --> 03:29.320
where that base is at . Manning those

03:29.330 --> 03:31.552
contingency locations will be done with

03:31.552 --> 03:33.886
a much much smaller footprint of airmen .

03:33.886 --> 03:35.997
But that's not going to require those

03:35.997 --> 03:38.163
airmen that will be at those locations

03:38.163 --> 03:40.270
to be able to do not only their AFC

03:40.279 --> 03:43.029
duties but be able to do multiple other

03:44.119 --> 03:46.570
duties . So let's give an example , a

03:46.669 --> 03:49.779
munitions troop or a munitions airmen

03:49.789 --> 03:52.011
will not only have to understand how to

03:52.011 --> 03:54.339
build and maintain the munitions in

03:54.350 --> 03:56.461
their respective bomb dump , but they

03:56.461 --> 03:58.183
may also have to be trained in

03:58.183 --> 04:00.128
integrated combat turns and how to

04:00.128 --> 04:02.406
support that when an aircraft comes in .

04:02.406 --> 04:04.517
Another example might be a pol airman

04:04.517 --> 04:06.960
whose primary job it is to refuel that

04:06.970 --> 04:08.970
aircraft as it lands . But they may

04:08.970 --> 04:11.081
also have to be trained in how to tie

04:11.081 --> 04:13.192
down equipment in an aircraft or on a

04:13.192 --> 04:15.414
flat bed as it's being moved throughout

04:15.414 --> 04:17.989
the theater . So in the past , you

04:18.000 --> 04:20.329
would focus on your single A in the

04:20.339 --> 04:22.519
future , those multi capable airmen

04:22.529 --> 04:26.200
will have to do multiple AFC . Now ,

04:26.209 --> 04:28.320
not every airman will be trained as a

04:28.320 --> 04:30.042
multi capable airman , that is

04:30.042 --> 04:32.265
something that will be selected through

04:32.265 --> 04:34.487
the leadership chain and how we execute

04:34.487 --> 04:36.598
that most of the multi capable airmen

04:36.598 --> 04:38.709
will be focused in on the maintenance

04:38.709 --> 04:41.160
career fields and in the air crew or

04:41.170 --> 04:43.920
the operations career fields . But

04:43.929 --> 04:46.096
there are those other career fields on

04:46.096 --> 04:48.207
the support side that will have to be

04:48.207 --> 04:50.262
trained as multi capable airmen . So

04:50.262 --> 04:52.373
that is that is the final installment

04:52.373 --> 04:54.485
and how we're going to present forces

04:54.485 --> 04:56.540
in the future . All of this is in an

04:56.540 --> 04:58.540
effort for the air force to be more

04:58.540 --> 05:00.762
agile agility is going to be the key to

05:00.762 --> 05:02.818
survive if we are ever in a conflict

05:02.818 --> 05:04.762
with a near peer adversary . Now ,

05:04.762 --> 05:06.929
looking at some of the efforts that we

05:06.929 --> 05:09.040
have done here in the 127 th wing , I

05:09.040 --> 05:11.040
want to throw out some kudos to our

05:11.040 --> 05:13.040
maintainers over on the a 10 side a

05:13.040 --> 05:14.873
couple weeks ago . We were in an

05:14.873 --> 05:17.040
exercise called Agile chariot where we

05:17.040 --> 05:19.151
landed two , a 10 s on a highway near

05:19.151 --> 05:21.510
Casper Wyoming . In that time frame ,

05:21.540 --> 05:24.839
the airplanes landed and were fueled

05:24.850 --> 05:27.299
off of ac 130 that also landed on that

05:27.309 --> 05:29.459
highway . But the real take away from

05:29.470 --> 05:31.989
this effort was the speed and agility

05:32.000 --> 05:34.570
that these airmen performed when the

05:34.579 --> 05:37.399
first aircraft chocked in it chocked

05:37.410 --> 05:40.570
out in six minutes and 35 seconds . And

05:40.579 --> 05:43.140
that in that six minutes and 35 seconds ,

05:43.149 --> 05:45.899
they loaded over £4000 of gas and two

05:45.910 --> 05:49.899
mark 82 £500 bombs . Those aircraft

05:49.910 --> 05:52.290
were on the ground for under 12 minutes

05:52.299 --> 05:54.429
and then back in the fight , that is

05:54.440 --> 05:57.239
how we do agility so well done to our A

05:57.250 --> 06:00.899
10 maintainers . It is our goal that

06:00.910 --> 06:03.329
the 127 th wing is the best led , most

06:03.339 --> 06:05.339
efficient , effective and adaptable

06:05.339 --> 06:07.450
organization in the United States Air

06:07.450 --> 06:09.506
Force . I appreciate your leadership

06:09.506 --> 06:10.359
and I appreciate your professionalism .
