our adversaries pervasive I . S . R .

00:14.861 --> 00:17.083
And all domain long range fires coupled

00:17.083 --> 00:18.806
with a reduction in our global

00:18.806 --> 00:21.028
footprint have placed air bases and air

00:21.028 --> 00:23.250
minutes significantly increased risk to

00:23.250 --> 00:25.194
counter these threats . One of the

00:25.194 --> 00:27.139
goals in the 2022 National Defense

00:27.139 --> 00:27.100
Strategy is building enduring

00:27.100 --> 00:29.211
advantages for the future Joint force

00:29.211 --> 00:31.433
specifically , it states the importance

00:31.433 --> 00:33.489
of undertaking reforms to accelerate

00:33.489 --> 00:35.656
force development , getting technology

00:35.656 --> 00:37.878
where we can need it more quickly . End

00:37.878 --> 00:39.544
up making our investments and

00:39.544 --> 00:41.489
extraordinary airmen . Hello , I'm

00:41.489 --> 00:41.330
Lieutenant Colonel Board Bachman and

00:41.330 --> 00:43.386
this is Ron um era from the one 87th

00:43.386 --> 00:45.386
fighter wing Alabama , Air National

00:45.386 --> 00:47.386
Guard and Air University innovation

00:47.386 --> 00:49.608
accelerator . Since the initial concept

00:49.608 --> 00:51.830
of agile combat employment in general ,

00:51.830 --> 00:54.052
Brown's message to accelerate change or

00:54.052 --> 00:56.219
lose . We have been very involved with

00:56.219 --> 00:56.030
developing tactics , techniques and

00:56.030 --> 00:58.290
procedures and identifying limitations

00:58.290 --> 01:00.123
with our current regulations and

01:00.123 --> 01:02.401
equipment . Through numerous exercises ,

01:02.470 --> 01:04.637
our assessment of the battle space and

01:04.637 --> 01:06.692
lessons learned from these exercises

01:06.692 --> 01:08.914
has led to the development of an easily

01:08.914 --> 01:11.190
deployable mobile and self sustaining

01:11.190 --> 01:13.630
operational a support solution that can

01:13.630 --> 01:15.797
be installed and operated with minimal

01:15.797 --> 01:17.908
training or dedicated resources . Our

01:17.908 --> 01:20.390
initiative project Crate enables the

01:20.390 --> 01:22.446
shift of operations from centralized

01:22.446 --> 01:24.390
semipermanent infrastructures to a

01:24.390 --> 01:26.668
network of smaller dispersed locations .

01:26.668 --> 01:28.834
That can complicate adversary planning

01:28.834 --> 01:31.001
and provide more options for the joint

01:31.001 --> 01:32.946
force commanders create offers any

01:32.946 --> 01:34.779
military service or governmental

01:34.779 --> 01:37.001
agencies supporting humanitarian relief

01:37.001 --> 01:39.223
or homeland defense and other state and

01:39.223 --> 01:41.223
local agencies and all encompassing

01:41.223 --> 01:43.334
capability , providing connectivity ,

01:43.334 --> 01:45.334
security and basic resources to any

01:45.334 --> 01:47.557
location with a reduced cargo footprint

01:47.557 --> 01:49.668
or personal requirement . The concept

01:49.668 --> 01:51.723
of crate has been developed with the

01:51.723 --> 01:53.834
support of a CCS , Agile battle lab ,

01:53.834 --> 01:55.612
Auburn University MGM works Air

01:55.612 --> 01:57.870
University project Ark Water the 2022

01:57.870 --> 02:00.380
spark tank winner the 2 26 Combat . Com

02:00.380 --> 02:02.547
Group and the one 87th fighter wing by

02:02.547 --> 02:04.769
utilizing the resources above were able

02:04.769 --> 02:06.936
to quick identified commercial off the

02:06.936 --> 02:08.936
shelf technologies , integrate them

02:08.936 --> 02:11.047
with current innovative solutions and

02:11.047 --> 02:12.991
provide an all in one container of

02:12.991 --> 02:15.158
capabilities . We are asking for up to

02:15.158 --> 02:14.975
$1 million to increase the

02:14.975 --> 02:17.197
effectiveness , agility , survivability

02:17.197 --> 02:19.086
and lethality of our airmen while

02:19.086 --> 02:21.364
operating in the contested environment .

02:21.364 --> 02:23.364
Specifically , we want to integrate

02:23.364 --> 02:25.586
redundant line of sight and beyond line

02:25.586 --> 02:27.697
of sight , secure communications with

02:27.697 --> 02:29.919
embedded power , remotely operated wide

02:29.919 --> 02:29.905
area security suites and a self

02:29.905 --> 02:32.235
generating water security system into a

02:32.235 --> 02:35.230
modified Ice United project creates

02:35.230 --> 02:37.470
capabilities , will provide the ability

02:37.470 --> 02:39.692
to operate for short periods of time in

02:39.692 --> 02:41.359
austere locations while still

02:41.359 --> 02:43.470
maintaining connectivity with command

02:43.470 --> 02:45.581
control elements . Funding additional

02:45.581 --> 02:47.637
capabilities for project create will

02:47.637 --> 02:49.748
lay the foundation for development of

02:49.748 --> 02:51.970
tactics , techniques and procedures and

02:51.970 --> 02:53.970
ace doctrine vital to outpacing our

02:53.970 --> 02:56.137
adversaries while operating in concert

02:56.137 --> 02:58.359
with the 2022 National Defense Strategy
