1 00:00:02,130 --> 00:00:04,699 From Japan land of the Rising Sun . 2 00:00:05,070 --> 00:00:07,340 Civil engineers from the 1 18 wing 3 00:00:07,349 --> 00:00:09,579 embarked on annual training with laser 4 00:00:09,590 --> 00:00:11,829 focus on readiness . Yo code is the 5 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:13,729 right place to do annual training 6 00:00:13,729 --> 00:00:15,951 because we're flying halfway across the 7 00:00:15,951 --> 00:00:17,951 world , we're mobilizing to utilize 8 00:00:17,951 --> 00:00:20,173 heavy equipment that isn't available at 9 00:00:20,173 --> 00:00:22,229 home station and we're executing the 10 00:00:22,229 --> 00:00:24,584 mission as we would . When we deploy in 11 00:00:24,594 --> 00:00:26,915 the end of theater , the deployment for 12 00:00:26,924 --> 00:00:30,004 training program is the epitome of the 13 00:00:30,014 --> 00:00:32,395 multi cap . We get to work on many 14 00:00:32,404 --> 00:00:34,194 different tasks and learn other 15 00:00:34,205 --> 00:00:36,305 people's jobs . But when we can 16 00:00:36,314 --> 00:00:39,380 integrate in learn other jobs , they 17 00:00:39,389 --> 00:00:41,419 can learn our jobs and we just keep 18 00:00:41,430 --> 00:00:43,708 growing . That is the force multiplier . 19 00:00:43,708 --> 00:00:45,819 So some of the projects we're working 20 00:00:45,819 --> 00:00:47,652 on the construction of the walls 21 00:00:47,652 --> 00:00:49,874 surrounding H VAC system in residential 22 00:00:49,874 --> 00:00:51,763 area . Another project we have is 23 00:00:51,763 --> 00:00:54,520 construction of the parking garages for 24 00:00:54,529 --> 00:00:57,069 the logistic group . We also have other 25 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,520 personnel working with side projects 26 00:00:59,529 --> 00:01:02,400 with 3 74th personnel . What I hope my 27 00:01:02,470 --> 00:01:04,989 learn and gain on this trip is to gain 28 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,000 skills that they didn't have before 29 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,000 they arrived and to gain a sense of 30 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,056 purpose that they didn't have before 31 00:01:11,056 --> 00:01:13,278 they arrive the type of stuff I've been 32 00:01:13,278 --> 00:01:15,444 doing here in Dakota has been training 33 00:01:15,444 --> 00:01:17,667 with C two . The administrative side of 34 00:01:17,667 --> 00:01:19,833 ce I've also been able to working with 35 00:01:19,833 --> 00:01:22,000 structures and heavy equipment , doing 36 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,222 concrete and working in the warehouse . 37 00:01:24,222 --> 00:01:26,222 Being able to come to this trip has 38 00:01:26,222 --> 00:01:28,444 made me realize I made the right choice 39 00:01:28,444 --> 00:01:28,279 of joining the Guard . I just graduated 40 00:01:28,290 --> 00:01:30,346 high school . I'm 18 , traveling the 41 00:01:30,346 --> 00:01:32,568 world getting to see different cultures 42 00:01:32,568 --> 00:01:34,846 and learning my job . At the same time , 43 00:01:34,846 --> 00:01:37,068 I'm extremely proud of my troops . They 44 00:01:37,068 --> 00:01:39,068 are doing things they've never done 45 00:01:39,068 --> 00:01:41,290 before in conditions they've never seen 46 00:01:41,290 --> 00:01:43,346 before and they're doing it as proud 47 00:01:43,346 --> 00:01:45,290 professionals . This training will 48 00:01:45,290 --> 00:01:47,401 further develop our airmen by helping 49 00:01:47,401 --> 00:01:49,803 them to be more capable airmen and be 50 00:01:49,813 --> 00:01:52,712 able to go anywhere any time and do 51 00:01:52,722 --> 00:01:54,833 whatever it takes to get the missions 52 00:01:54,833 --> 00:01:57,055 done . We will know we've completed our 53 00:01:57,055 --> 00:01:59,111 mission here at air base because our 54 00:01:59,111 --> 00:02:01,505 International Guard engineers will know 55 00:02:01,515 --> 00:02:03,682 exactly where they need to go and what 56 00:02:03,682 --> 00:02:05,904 they need to do . When the bombs drop , 57 00:02:05,904 --> 00:02:07,904 we can recover an airfield , we can 58 00:02:07,904 --> 00:02:09,959 project American air power that much 59 00:02:09,959 --> 00:02:11,737 faster and get after CQ Brown's 60 00:02:11,737 --> 00:02:13,959 commander's intent of accelerate change 61 00:02:13,959 --> 00:02:16,071 or lose , but we're not going to lose 62 00:02:16,071 --> 00:02:18,293 because our airmen are working shoulder 63 00:02:18,293 --> 00:02:20,237 to shoulder with their active duty 64 00:02:20,237 --> 00:02:22,404 components and getting after that near 65 00:02:22,404 --> 00:02:24,626 peer threat . So the motto as engineers 66 00:02:24,626 --> 00:02:26,626 lead the way , no matter how hot it 67 00:02:26,626 --> 00:02:28,880 gets , no matter how hard the work is , 68 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,416 we're there to lead , we're there to 69 00:02:31,416 --> 00:02:33,582 push forward . We're there to push the 70 00:02:33,582 --> 00:02:35,749 envelope . We will succeed . And these 71 00:02:35,749 --> 00:02:37,889 guys have far exceeded our expectations .
