1
00:00:00,635 --> 00:00:03,052
(rock music)

2
00:00:05,750 --> 00:00:08,830
- Sentry Savannah, it's a
air to air combat training

3
00:00:08,830 --> 00:00:11,413
exercise with multiple
Air National Guard units.

4
00:00:12,471 --> 00:00:14,888
(rock music)

5
00:00:18,150 --> 00:00:21,476
- We train on a daily basis
to adversaries, specific

6
00:00:21,476 --> 00:00:26,476
threats, but not on the scale
that we're training to here.

7
00:00:26,570 --> 00:00:31,200
This allows us to basically
simulate a full deployment

8
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,690
of our troops, simulate
a contested environment.

9
00:00:34,690 --> 00:00:37,570
(rock music)

10
00:00:37,570 --> 00:00:40,075
Being able to come here
and train allows us

11
00:00:40,075 --> 00:00:42,732
to be able to highlight issues or tactics

12
00:00:42,732 --> 00:00:45,970
or processes that may need honing.

13
00:00:45,970 --> 00:00:47,920
I mean, while we're out here, we're able

14
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,420
to one dimensionally focus directly

15
00:00:50,420 --> 00:00:52,708
on how we execute the mission.

16
00:00:52,708 --> 00:00:55,125
(rock music)

17
00:00:56,540 --> 00:00:59,920
- We actually had about 65 planned events

18
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:04,920
during the survivability
operations that we were testing.

19
00:01:05,710 --> 00:01:08,120
And a lot of that was could we continue

20
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,760
to regenerate air craft and meet sorties

21
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,570
as well as survive under harsh conditions?

22
00:01:13,570 --> 00:01:15,330
How were people with
doing when they're wearing

23
00:01:15,330 --> 00:01:18,190
their ground protective equipment?

24
00:01:18,190 --> 00:01:20,763
Could we do so in a safe
and operational way?

25
00:01:22,654 --> 00:01:25,071
(rock music)

26
00:01:34,590 --> 00:01:36,690
The importance of an event like this

27
00:01:36,690 --> 00:01:40,760
is really to make sure
that the 187 fiver wing

28
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,120
is ready to deploy and
operate in any environment.

29
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,030
We practice all the time like we're ready

30
00:01:46,030 --> 00:01:48,903
and this gives us an opportunity
to test that readiness.
