1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:30,170 --> 00:00:32,392 Silent Whisper is an exercise put on by 3 00:00:32,392 --> 00:00:34,448 the Security Forces training section 4 00:00:34,448 --> 00:00:36,614 here at Shepherd Air Force Base . What 5 00:00:36,614 --> 00:00:38,559 they had us do is do a culminating 6 00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:40,970 event to establish ourselves before we 7 00:00:40,970 --> 00:00:43,130 go to MFRT . Leading up to that was a 8 00:00:43,130 --> 00:00:45,352 bunch of different training exercises , 9 00:00:45,352 --> 00:00:47,463 classroom and field , to get us ready 10 00:00:47,463 --> 00:00:49,297 for that event . MFRT is mission 11 00:00:49,297 --> 00:00:51,463 focused rehearsal training . It's what 12 00:00:51,463 --> 00:00:53,241 all defenders do before they go 13 00:00:53,241 --> 00:00:55,463 downrange . We head over to El Paso and 14 00:00:55,463 --> 00:00:57,630 we get . on our skills to receive a go 15 00:00:57,630 --> 00:00:59,686 or no go status to make sure that we 16 00:00:59,686 --> 00:00:59,485 are prepared to deploy . So we went out 17 00:00:59,485 --> 00:01:01,845 to the Army National Guard section here 18 00:01:01,845 --> 00:01:03,845 in town and worked with them to use 19 00:01:03,845 --> 00:01:06,067 their Humvees for mounted training . We 20 00:01:06,067 --> 00:01:08,123 did react to contact , how to get in 21 00:01:08,123 --> 00:01:10,345 and out of the vehicles , down driver , 22 00:01:10,345 --> 00:01:09,955 down gunner , certain drills that are 23 00:01:09,955 --> 00:01:11,955 really applicable to us while we're 24 00:01:11,955 --> 00:01:14,066 doing our mission downrange . Another 25 00:01:14,066 --> 00:01:16,288 event that we did was urban clearing or 26 00:01:16,288 --> 00:01:18,455 CQB , so we went into some old doors . 27 00:01:18,455 --> 00:01:20,622 Here we were able to clear out through 28 00:01:20,622 --> 00:01:22,844 multiple buildings , checking our highs 29 00:01:22,844 --> 00:01:24,955 and our lows in different buildings , 30 00:01:24,955 --> 00:01:24,599 and then we also were able to go into 31 00:01:24,599 --> 00:01:26,710 those rooms and clear rooms as well , 32 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,070 making sure that we could work as not 33 00:01:29,070 --> 00:01:31,292 only a fire team but as an entire squad 34 00:01:31,292 --> 00:01:33,515 using multiple fire teams to go through 35 00:01:33,515 --> 00:01:35,403 the buildings . So the difference 36 00:01:35,403 --> 00:01:37,515 between doing training here , getting 37 00:01:37,515 --> 00:01:37,000 ready for deployment compared to the 38 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,833 tech school that we learned , we 39 00:01:38,833 --> 00:01:40,889 learned very core concepts and basic 40 00:01:40,889 --> 00:01:43,000 concepts in tech school , and some of 41 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,111 our airmen that . On this team , they 42 00:01:45,111 --> 00:01:44,855 have not deployed yet , so getting them 43 00:01:44,855 --> 00:01:46,466 on par with the rest of us , 44 00:01:46,595 --> 00:01:48,762 understanding what commands mean , how 45 00:01:48,762 --> 00:01:50,484 to work as a team , and how to 46 00:01:50,484 --> 00:01:52,706 understand your role so that you're not 47 00:01:52,706 --> 00:01:54,873 waiting on every command , you kind of 48 00:01:54,873 --> 00:01:57,095 know what to do and find work is really 49 00:01:57,095 --> 00:01:56,675 the biggest part of us coming together 50 00:01:56,675 --> 00:01:58,824 prior to going to MFRT . That way we 51 00:01:58,824 --> 00:02:00,880 can get there and get our , uh , get 52 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,768 our passing grades so that we can 53 00:02:02,768 --> 00:02:04,991 deploy as a team together . All right , 54 00:02:04,991 --> 00:02:07,102 Alpha Braba Charlie Delta , let's get 55 00:02:07,102 --> 00:02:09,429 360 going . Get out of the way .
