Allies Spirit

US Army Europe Best Warrior Logo

 
Allied Spirit is a U.S. Army exercise for multinational partners, conducted at 7th Army Training Command training areas at Grafenwoehr and Hohenfels, Germany.
 
Unlike other USAREUR-AF exercises, which feature U.S. brigade combat teams in a lead role augmented by Allies and partners, Allied Spirit places an Allied unit as the main training audience. While U.S.-led, this exercise will develop and enhance NATO and key partner interoperability and readiness across specified warfighting functions.

Integrated Respirator Information System (IRIS)
100th Air Refueling Wing
Nov. 1, 2018 | 3:06
The 100th Maintenance Squadron based out of RAF Mildenhall in England designed the Integrated Respirator Information System (IRIS), a respirator with audio visual capabilities to enhance communication for maintainers working in isolated, confined and dangerous environments. Morse code, tapping through barriers, hand signals, tugging on ropes and other rudimentary methods are the current means to communicate while in these hazardous areas.

Listen to Master Sgt. William Bell and Ms. Mia Tobitt talk about the immediate benefits of saved man-hours and increased efficiency by reducing the number of times personnel enter and exit the tank. This capability leads to synergized troubleshooting, since immediate audible and visual communication would exist between the maintainer in the tank and their support outside, whether that be peers or engineering experts back in the States. Most importantly, the direct monitoring of personnel and confined space conditions drastically reduces risk and increases safety.
