WEBVTT 00:01.539 --> 00:04.519 This is the second KC 46 for Travis Air 00:04.530 --> 00:06.949 Force Base . So it's significant for 00:06.960 --> 00:09.529 many reasons , primarily because it 00:09.539 --> 00:13.090 starts the timeline for our whole wing . 00:13.180 --> 00:16.549 The installation to get familiarized 00:16.559 --> 00:19.000 with the KC 40 it gives maintenance , 00:19.010 --> 00:21.121 more touches on the aircraft and more 00:21.121 --> 00:23.579 training and then it will accelerate 00:23.590 --> 00:25.812 the timeline for air crew to start keep 00:25.812 --> 00:28.239 training and maintain their currencies 00:28.250 --> 00:30.719 and proficiency as well . Local 00:30.729 --> 00:32.951 perspective . It's good because we keep 00:32.951 --> 00:35.720 our airmen trained and ready to fight . 00:35.930 --> 00:38.152 But in the macros perspective , it gets 00:38.152 --> 00:40.208 us closer to the high end fight that 00:40.208 --> 00:43.080 we're getting ready for the 00:43.090 --> 00:45.439 relationship between the active duty 00:45.450 --> 00:48.400 and the Reserves is mutually beneficial , 00:48.619 --> 00:50.841 right ? The active duty is an immediate 00:50.841 --> 00:54.319 force tonight or the Reserves , we can 00:54.330 --> 00:57.470 plus up to be a decisive force for 00:57.479 --> 01:00.599 America when needed as active duty 01:00.610 --> 01:04.209 transitions , cyclically , the 01:04.220 --> 01:06.919 reserves that are typically not always 01:06.930 --> 01:10.339 but typically more of a permanent force 01:10.349 --> 01:12.349 in the local area can maintain that 01:12.349 --> 01:15.080 continuity over time as so when new 01:15.089 --> 01:17.200 active duty comes in , we could brief 01:17.200 --> 01:19.311 them up and they could hit the ground 01:19.311 --> 01:21.367 running and so in concert together , 01:21.367 --> 01:24.050 then we can go forward with no training 01:24.059 --> 01:26.360 loss , no mission loss and pick up 01:26.370 --> 01:28.592 right where , right where we left off . 01:29.269 --> 01:31.380 Yeah . Well , this , this is really , 01:31.380 --> 01:33.491 uh I think community support is shown 01:33.491 --> 01:35.602 here when we're invited to come out . 01:35.602 --> 01:37.825 I'm one of the uh Travis Air Force Base 01:37.825 --> 01:39.991 Golden Bears . And I'm really proud of 01:39.991 --> 01:42.158 that . Uh We get invited to just about 01:42.158 --> 01:42.129 everything , but these are significant 01:42.139 --> 01:45.629 events because we're modernizing and 01:45.639 --> 01:47.861 we're building here at Travis Air Force 01:47.861 --> 01:50.040 Base . We're having construction 01:50.050 --> 01:52.910 programs replacing the runway and 01:52.919 --> 01:54.752 perhaps in the future , having a 01:54.752 --> 01:56.975 parallel taxiway for one of the runways 01:57.050 --> 01:59.569 and also , you know , civil engineering 01:59.580 --> 02:01.691 needs and so forth . There's a lot of 02:01.691 --> 02:03.919 things going on at Travis Air Force 02:03.930 --> 02:06.809 Base , modernization is taking place 02:06.819 --> 02:10.000 and you know , we are the path of the 02:10.009 --> 02:13.570 Pacific and so a very essential part of 02:13.580 --> 02:16.410 our strategy for keeping not only our 02:16.470 --> 02:19.179 country free but our allies as well . 02:20.929 --> 02:23.040 The big takeaways I think were just , 02:23.040 --> 02:25.096 this is a total force effort between 02:25.096 --> 02:27.262 the 60th Air Mobility Wing , the 349th 02:27.262 --> 02:28.985 Air Mobility Wing , like we do 02:28.985 --> 02:31.207 everything in concert with each other . 02:31.207 --> 02:33.207 Getting to go up to Boeing directly 02:33.207 --> 02:35.380 interfacing with the program office , 02:35.389 --> 02:38.339 DCMA and Boeing , the company . You 02:38.350 --> 02:40.720 could see that everyone was aligned 02:40.729 --> 02:43.179 with the same strategic vision of 02:43.190 --> 02:45.139 basically making America more war 02:45.149 --> 02:45.880 fighter ready .
