00:10.270 --> 00:12.550
Us . Air Force airmen from the 4 35th

00:12.560 --> 00:14.727
consensus response group here at Komet

00:14.727 --> 00:16.504
Airbase , Hungary conducting an

00:16.504 --> 00:18.449
exercise and air base opening as a

00:18.449 --> 00:20.671
contingency response element supporting

00:20.671 --> 00:22.260
swift response 2024 .

00:34.779 --> 00:36.779
A contingency response element is a

00:36.779 --> 00:38.890
group of airmen that rapidly deploy ,

00:38.890 --> 00:41.112
working together to accomplish air base

00:41.112 --> 00:43.223
opening in austere locations anywhere

00:43.223 --> 00:45.335
around the world that would otherwise

00:45.335 --> 00:47.557
take hundreds of thousands of personnel

00:47.557 --> 00:49.723
to accomplish . My favorite experience

00:49.723 --> 00:52.709
so far has been acting as a burn victim

00:52.720 --> 00:54.919
in one of the scenarios where medical

00:54.930 --> 00:57.840
had to respond , practice their skills ,

00:57.849 --> 00:59.819
which prepared them for real world

00:59.830 --> 01:00.599
operations

01:07.760 --> 01:09.760
at this location . The con response

01:09.760 --> 01:11.871
element brings with itself everything

01:11.871 --> 01:14.093
that it needs for self sustainment . In

01:14.093 --> 01:16.316
the short term , the bed down the tents

01:16.316 --> 01:18.538
that go with that the cots , the living

01:18.538 --> 01:20.593
spaces , the operation centers , the

01:20.593 --> 01:22.927
power production , the water , the food ,

01:22.927 --> 01:24.816
the communications , the material

01:24.816 --> 01:26.927
handling equipment and base defense .

01:33.690 --> 01:36.050
In supporting swift response . 2024 .

01:36.230 --> 01:38.341
The contingency response element here

01:38.341 --> 01:40.508
is facilitating a joint forcible entry

01:40.508 --> 01:42.730
of the 82nd airborne from Kemet Airbase

01:42.730 --> 01:44.809
Hungary to Kia Tursi , Romania . The

01:44.819 --> 01:46.986
contingency response element is mainly

01:46.986 --> 01:48.986
focused upon co ordination with the

01:48.986 --> 01:50.763
host nation here in Hungary and

01:50.763 --> 01:52.930
facilitating everything that is needed

01:52.930 --> 01:55.097
prior to the arrival of the C 17 S for

01:55.097 --> 01:57.041
their parking , the marshaling and

01:57.041 --> 01:59.152
movement of the jumpers to the planes

01:59.152 --> 02:01.208
and the subsequent departure for the

02:01.208 --> 02:03.375
airdrop into Romania . The contingency

02:03.375 --> 02:05.486
response element will be air dropping

02:05.486 --> 02:07.708
with them into Romania . They happen to

02:07.708 --> 02:09.930
be the only one in the Air Force of its

02:09.930 --> 02:12.360
kind . The resiliency that is shown by

02:12.369 --> 02:14.536
these airmen and their adaptability to

02:14.536 --> 02:16.536
such a mission set has been just an

02:16.536 --> 02:18.647
uplifting and wonderful experience to

02:18.647 --> 02:20.591
live through . I'm so happy that I

02:20.591 --> 02:20.369
could be a part of it .
