1
00:00:00,290 --> 00:00:05,180
- Today is an exercise that
combines both the aspect

2
00:00:05,180 --> 00:00:07,940
of DOD clearing the runway after an attack

3
00:00:07,940 --> 00:00:10,980
followed by the RADR process
of repairing the runway

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,420
once all ordnance and all
explosives have been removed.

5
00:00:15,420 --> 00:00:18,420
RADR is the Rapid Airfield Damage Repair,

6
00:00:18,420 --> 00:00:21,190
in assembly line they
remove all the debris,

7
00:00:21,190 --> 00:00:23,430
they open up the craters,

8
00:00:23,430 --> 00:00:25,690
remove all the excess,

9
00:00:25,690 --> 00:00:27,940
and do backfill on the
crater and then they cap it

10
00:00:27,940 --> 00:00:29,890
with brand new concrete.

11
00:00:29,890 --> 00:00:31,590
This fight isn't gonna be fought just

12
00:00:31,590 --> 00:00:32,740
by the United States Air Force,

13
00:00:32,740 --> 00:00:33,990
or the United States military.

14
00:00:33,990 --> 00:00:36,500
We're gonna have to
have our partner nations

15
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:39,680
come together to take the fight forward

16
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,010
and therefore if we're
attacked we need to be able

17
00:00:42,010 --> 00:00:45,020
to work together and we're integrating

18
00:00:45,020 --> 00:00:47,220
and allowing the runway to be repaired

19
00:00:47,220 --> 00:00:49,930
by not just the United States military,

20
00:00:49,930 --> 00:00:52,520
but also we bring in partner nations

21
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,030
to teach them how to do this,

22
00:00:55,030 --> 00:00:56,880
and so that they know how to do it

23
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,270
so that they can repair their runway

24
00:00:58,270 --> 00:01:00,093
and we can play off each other.

25
00:01:01,020 --> 00:01:03,900
The spread of knowledge
only makes us better.

26
00:01:03,900 --> 00:01:05,300
Not only does it make us

27
00:01:05,300 --> 00:01:06,760
as the United states military better,

28
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,603
but it also makes us
as a coalition better.
