WEBVTT 00:01.059 --> 00:03.869 The North Dakota Guard is hosting NGRF 00:03.869 --> 00:06.091 training . It stands for National Guard 00:06.091 --> 00:08.313 Response Force . The State is providing 00:08.313 --> 00:10.390 a 400 man team to the president's 00:10.390 --> 00:12.501 direction to get after civil services 00:12.501 --> 00:15.289 in the future . So we're training in 00:16.180 --> 00:18.940 DMOs tasks , which include riot control , 00:19.049 --> 00:21.780 pepper spray , and taser . Taser , 00:21.809 --> 00:24.149 taser , taser . National Guard Bureau 00:24.149 --> 00:26.579 has provided resources to outfit the 00:26.579 --> 00:28.579 nation with National Guard Response 00:28.579 --> 00:31.030 Force capabilities , which is basically 00:31.030 --> 00:33.459 a very versatile force that's able to 00:33.459 --> 00:35.681 support law enforcement in a variety of 00:35.681 --> 00:37.848 different mission sets . Training this 00:37.848 --> 00:40.070 week has been fantastic . It's bringing 00:40.070 --> 00:42.126 together almost 400 individuals from 00:42.126 --> 00:44.070 both the Army and the Air National 00:44.070 --> 00:46.126 Guard here in North Dakota . And the 00:46.126 --> 00:47.681 soldiers and airmen through 00:47.681 --> 00:49.681 interactions from previous missions 00:49.681 --> 00:51.681 know each other so there's a lot of 00:51.681 --> 00:53.737 proficiency and collaboration that's 00:53.737 --> 00:55.403 happening between each of the 00:55.403 --> 00:57.237 components sharing experiences , 00:57.237 --> 00:59.292 sharing techniques , understanding a 00:59.292 --> 01:01.181 common language , and really just 01:01.181 --> 01:02.737 getting a chance to develop 01:02.737 --> 01:04.959 relationships as professionals . I love 01:04.959 --> 01:07.126 integrating with soldiers . It's great 01:07.126 --> 01:09.292 seeing the soldiers and airmen team up 01:09.292 --> 01:11.403 in a truly joint environment . In the 01:11.403 --> 01:13.626 past we've done just in time training , 01:13.626 --> 01:15.959 getting the train . Before the incident , 01:15.959 --> 01:15.852 rolling out there and figuring out on 01:15.852 --> 01:18.074 the fly during a real world situation , 01:18.074 --> 01:19.741 getting together now helps us 01:19.741 --> 01:21.630 standardize tactic techniques and 01:21.630 --> 01:23.352 procedures . So there are some 01:23.352 --> 01:25.408 differences in the way the Air Force 01:25.408 --> 01:27.685 and Army train , uh , specific tactics . 01:27.685 --> 01:29.741 So here we can start to sort out the 01:29.741 --> 01:29.633 differences . So we roll up on a 01:29.633 --> 01:31.689 situation we're all doing things the 01:31.689 --> 01:33.800 same way , minimizing differences and 01:33.800 --> 01:35.855 increasing our team abilities . It's 01:35.855 --> 01:37.855 great working with the 119th SFS as 01:37.855 --> 01:40.077 well . It's the first time since I took 01:40.077 --> 01:42.244 command back in October that the 119th 01:42.244 --> 01:44.189 and 219th SFS worked together . So 01:44.189 --> 01:46.189 seeing what y'all doing in Fargo in 01:46.189 --> 01:48.244 terms of law enforcement and uh base 01:48.244 --> 01:50.411 defense mission down there versus what 01:50.411 --> 01:50.096 the 219th is doing in terms of nuclear 01:50.096 --> 01:52.255 security and maximizing feeding off 01:52.255 --> 01:54.422 each other's strengths has really been 01:54.422 --> 01:56.644 a great opportunity . So with our motto 01:56.644 --> 01:58.644 of always ready , always there , we 01:58.644 --> 02:00.699 don't know when the call is going to 02:00.699 --> 02:03.033 come that our civil authorities need us . 02:03.033 --> 02:05.199 So having a baseline of knowledge that 02:05.199 --> 02:07.144 we can apply to whatever situation 02:07.144 --> 02:09.311 whenever and wherever it's necessary , 02:09.311 --> 02:11.533 uh , helps us to be a combat multiplier 02:11.533 --> 02:13.755 in the time of need . I got it I got it 02:13.755 --> 02:11.925 I got it .
