WEBVTT 00:05.579 --> 00:07.746 Hi . Yeah , I'm uh Massar and Basila . 00:07.746 --> 00:09.912 I'm the deputy exercise director for a 00:09.912 --> 00:11.857 NATO exercise steadfast nomad here 00:11.857 --> 00:14.079 today . So we're out here at Aviano Air 00:14.079 --> 00:16.079 Base uh here in uh Italy , Northern 00:16.079 --> 00:18.301 Italy . Uh and we're , we're practicing 00:18.301 --> 00:20.412 our , our ground domination . TT PS . 00:20.412 --> 00:22.635 So we're , we're working on uh the best 00:22.635 --> 00:24.801 way to assault an aircraft to practice 00:24.801 --> 00:27.450 that ground domination to ensure uh the 00:27.459 --> 00:30.040 enemy doesn't get to the aircraft . So 00:30.049 --> 00:32.216 the overall objective of this exercise 00:32.216 --> 00:35.180 is to practice and , and exercise our 00:35.189 --> 00:37.245 ground domination techniques with uh 00:37.245 --> 00:39.840 actual aircraft . So we have a lot of 00:39.849 --> 00:41.793 NATO partners here today . We have 00:41.793 --> 00:43.849 Belgians , we have the Germans , the 00:43.849 --> 00:45.900 Dutch and then we have some Greek 00:45.909 --> 00:49.090 counterparts including observers from 00:49.099 --> 00:52.840 all of the NATO partners . It's been 00:52.849 --> 00:55.580 integral for us to integrate with them 00:55.880 --> 00:58.830 and to learn and teach each other . 00:59.290 --> 01:01.123 Some of the new system have been 01:01.123 --> 01:03.234 instrumental to this exercise , being 01:03.234 --> 01:05.123 able to gather that battle damage 01:05.123 --> 01:07.290 assessment with personnel and vehicles 01:07.290 --> 01:09.894 while they're assaulting an active 01:09.904 --> 01:12.095 aircraft . So the airmen are learning 01:12.105 --> 01:14.955 better tactics , improving our TTP when 01:14.964 --> 01:17.735 it comes to that ground domination with 01:17.745 --> 01:20.165 an aircraft . I'm learning a lot about 01:20.175 --> 01:21.564 how to run an exercise . 01:24.250 --> 01:25.917 The value of this exercise is 01:25.917 --> 01:28.083 instrumental . Um , it's been a couple 01:28.083 --> 01:30.306 of years since we've actually done this 01:30.306 --> 01:32.306 exercise of this scale and with the 01:32.306 --> 01:33.472 airfield in itself . 01:48.040 --> 01:49.040 Ok . 02:07.169 --> 02:07.190 So .
