WEBVTT 00:40.140 --> 00:41.918 So the mission of seabird is to 00:41.918 --> 00:45.320 activate subordinate to a joint task 00:45.320 --> 00:47.800 force in support of either the national 00:47.800 --> 00:50.780 capital region or civil support . What 00:50.780 --> 00:52.780 that means is if there is something 00:52.780 --> 00:54.724 that happens like a weapon of mass 00:54.724 --> 00:56.724 destruction in the national capital 00:56.724 --> 00:58.947 region were able to respond and support 00:58.947 --> 01:01.058 our Army and Air Force counterparts . 01:01.058 --> 01:03.280 Or if they there's some type of natural 01:03.280 --> 01:05.447 disaster that occurs within the United 01:05.447 --> 01:07.447 States or Oksana's , we are able to 01:07.447 --> 01:09.502 activate under that joint task force 01:09.502 --> 01:11.669 and respond as well . Certain types of 01:11.669 --> 01:11.220 situations that could be either man 01:11.220 --> 01:14.120 made or natural . We responded in the 01:14.130 --> 01:16.350 past to the nuclear power plant 01:16.350 --> 01:18.730 accident in Fukushima , all the way to 01:18.730 --> 01:21.780 a tornado disaster in our local area . 01:22.550 --> 01:25.560 Siebert has to incident response force 01:25.560 --> 01:27.990 is one that is always on the active 01:28.000 --> 01:30.167 incident response forces on the active 01:30.167 --> 01:32.500 has 24 hours to respond uh in the D . C . 01:32.500 --> 01:34.870 area and bring a reconnaissance 01:34.880 --> 01:37.220 decontamination and rescue operations . 01:38.060 --> 01:40.620 I'm bringing my rescue team out here 01:40.760 --> 01:42.871 and we're conducting joint operations 01:42.871 --> 01:44.982 down range with our army counterparts 01:44.982 --> 01:47.038 uh in a joint environment which is a 01:47.038 --> 01:49.204 little different from what we normally 01:49.204 --> 01:51.427 do things a lot a lot of times at cyber 01:51.427 --> 01:53.482 if we do things in a bubble . Um But 01:53.482 --> 01:53.140 being able to come out to Fort Hood 01:53.140 --> 01:55.340 texas and work at Mount town in the 01:55.350 --> 01:57.517 Fort Hood allows us the flexibility to 01:57.517 --> 01:59.517 see things from a different scope . 01:59.970 --> 02:02.137 What that allows us to do is break off 02:02.137 --> 02:04.248 from our normal mission set equipment 02:04.248 --> 02:06.192 sets and work with our interagency 02:06.192 --> 02:06.080 counterparts , the better home our 02:06.080 --> 02:08.136 skills so that when we are called to 02:08.136 --> 02:10.302 that Big Bang uh in that big moment in 02:10.302 --> 02:12.358 time when things go bad , that we're 02:12.358 --> 02:14.413 able to work together and do it from 02:14.413 --> 02:18.310 experience , We're here learning how 02:18.310 --> 02:20.570 to operate within that joint task force 02:20.750 --> 02:22.806 and integrating into their unit . So 02:22.806 --> 02:25.420 it's a lot of meeting our counterparts 02:25.430 --> 02:27.486 in the army , it's a lot of figuring 02:27.486 --> 02:29.486 out how we would support that joint 02:29.486 --> 02:31.541 task force . I think a lot of people 02:31.541 --> 02:33.652 think Siebert is the main mission and 02:33.652 --> 02:35.819 sometimes that's not the case , we are 02:35.819 --> 02:37.930 a stand alone unit and we can operate 02:37.930 --> 02:39.819 that way . But I think in a joint 02:39.819 --> 02:41.930 environment , it's far more effective 02:41.930 --> 02:44.041 if we operate like we are today where 02:44.041 --> 02:46.097 recon element is with the army's rns 02:46.097 --> 02:48.208 section , where our deacon element is 02:48.208 --> 02:50.375 with armies , mass casualty deacon and 02:50.375 --> 02:52.597 our rescue platoon is operating side by 02:52.597 --> 02:54.764 side with their use our platoon , It's 02:54.764 --> 02:56.931 easy to go downrange and always tackle 02:56.931 --> 02:58.653 the problem sets with your own 02:58.653 --> 03:00.653 equipment , your own S . O PS , and 03:00.653 --> 03:02.875 training goals . But when you come down 03:02.875 --> 03:04.708 and you work with other agencies 03:04.708 --> 03:04.695 organizations , you're forced to kind 03:04.695 --> 03:06.862 of mold yourself to their way of doing 03:06.862 --> 03:09.028 things in your equipment sets . And it 03:09.028 --> 03:11.084 helps you work out of the box and do 03:11.084 --> 03:09.945 things a little differently 03:09.955 --> 03:13.450 operationally , we are prepared . Um 03:13.450 --> 03:15.394 you can take any one of my PFCs or 03:15.394 --> 03:17.228 lance corporals and tell them to 03:17.228 --> 03:19.450 execute a mission they're gonna do it . 03:19.450 --> 03:21.283 I think there's an aspect that's 03:21.283 --> 03:20.860 difficult to train for and that's 03:20.860 --> 03:23.210 actually responding to an emergency . 03:23.220 --> 03:25.340 Um We can do it in training , we can 03:25.340 --> 03:27.690 convoy , we can enter buildings with no 03:27.690 --> 03:29.857 contamination , but if we are actually 03:29.857 --> 03:31.857 called to respond , I think there's 03:31.857 --> 03:34.023 something that it's difficult to train 03:34.023 --> 03:36.134 for . What is it like to go into a 10 03:36.134 --> 03:38.301 kiloton nuke . How do I tell my family 03:38.301 --> 03:40.190 that I'm gonna do that . Um We do 03:40.190 --> 03:42.357 tactical decision games , we do battle 03:42.357 --> 03:45.330 drills , we do readiness um constantly 03:45.330 --> 03:47.274 with the marines to make sure that 03:47.274 --> 03:49.441 they're ready to actually activate . I 03:49.441 --> 03:51.386 think mission execution wise we're 03:51.386 --> 03:53.219 solid . Um and it's a continuing 03:53.219 --> 03:54.997 process of making sure they are 03:54.997 --> 03:57.219 literally ready to deploy at a moment's 03:57.219 --> 03:57.530 notice .
