1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:04,230 --> 00:00:07,030 Exercise lightning strike is a domestic 3 00:00:07,030 --> 00:00:09,479 operations emergency management real 4 00:00:09,479 --> 00:00:11,869 world training scenario . We have a 5 00:00:11,869 --> 00:00:14,439 scenario of an EF-5 tornado that has 6 00:00:14,439 --> 00:00:16,600 hit the town of Muskogee , and we are 7 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,822 doing that exercise here on Camp Gruber 8 00:00:18,959 --> 00:00:21,659 with all these different agencies NASA , 9 00:00:22,059 --> 00:00:25,040 FAA . Oklahoma Highway Patrol 10 00:00:25,780 --> 00:00:27,724 industry , all of these partners , 11 00:00:27,724 --> 00:00:30,280 academia , Oklahoma State , Tulsa 12 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,447 University , it matters because we are 13 00:00:32,447 --> 00:00:35,619 building relationships for emerging 14 00:00:35,619 --> 00:00:37,500 technology that will benefit the 15 00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:39,740 citizens of Oklahoma , our surrounding 16 00:00:39,740 --> 00:00:41,796 states in the time of need . This is 17 00:00:41,796 --> 00:00:44,139 kind of an emerging doctrine , a new 18 00:00:44,139 --> 00:00:45,917 use case , especially when it's 19 00:00:45,917 --> 00:00:49,360 civilian . and military , so as we go 20 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,527 through the exercise and we have a lot 21 00:00:51,527 --> 00:00:53,582 of key learnings on how to make that 22 00:00:53,582 --> 00:00:55,804 integration work so that one we're safe 23 00:00:55,804 --> 00:00:57,916 but also accomplishing that emergency 24 00:00:57,916 --> 00:01:00,138 management mission by doing these kinds 25 00:01:00,138 --> 00:01:02,082 of exercises and really exercising 26 00:01:02,082 --> 00:01:03,916 those communication channels and 27 00:01:03,916 --> 00:01:06,760 getting common operating language is 28 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,816 critical to the effectiveness of the 29 00:01:08,816 --> 00:01:10,816 mission . One of the things we were 30 00:01:10,816 --> 00:01:12,982 really trying to accomplish here , not 31 00:01:12,982 --> 00:01:15,204 only building relationships and working 32 00:01:15,204 --> 00:01:17,482 with our emergency management partners , 33 00:01:17,482 --> 00:01:19,482 industry , academia , was trying to 34 00:01:19,482 --> 00:01:21,427 figure out how do we take a common 35 00:01:21,427 --> 00:01:23,538 operating picture from the incident , 36 00:01:23,538 --> 00:01:25,816 pipe that all the way back to Chandler , 37 00:01:25,816 --> 00:01:27,982 Oklahoma where our new joint operation 38 00:01:27,982 --> 00:01:29,982 center is , then all the way to the 39 00:01:29,982 --> 00:01:31,871 Oklahoma City Emergency Operation 40 00:01:31,871 --> 00:01:33,816 Center . What we're doing is we're 41 00:01:33,816 --> 00:01:35,927 building a common operating picture , 42 00:01:35,927 --> 00:01:37,593 real-life feeds , so incident 43 00:01:37,593 --> 00:01:39,593 commanders at each echelon can make 44 00:01:39,593 --> 00:01:41,649 critical decisions in the event of a 45 00:01:41,649 --> 00:01:44,970 domestic mercy management response . It 46 00:01:44,970 --> 00:01:47,489 is imperative for not only the tactical 47 00:01:47,489 --> 00:01:49,656 mission but for our domestic operation 48 00:01:49,656 --> 00:01:51,933 mission that we continue to to develop , 49 00:01:51,933 --> 00:01:53,989 train on these emerging technologies 50 00:01:53,989 --> 00:01:56,250 and unmanned aerial systems . Oklahoma 51 00:01:56,250 --> 00:01:58,417 National Guard is already making money 52 00:01:58,417 --> 00:02:00,361 right now by continuing to put our 53 00:02:00,361 --> 00:02:04,110 operators in events in these exercises 54 00:02:04,410 --> 00:02:06,779 because it's just more experience . We 55 00:02:06,779 --> 00:02:08,723 gotta train . We gotta continue to 56 00:02:08,723 --> 00:02:11,139 train operators for UAS . In the end , 57 00:02:11,220 --> 00:02:13,276 we're gonna have a better result for 58 00:02:13,276 --> 00:02:15,380 domestic operations responses and in 59 00:02:15,380 --> 00:02:16,940 the tactical war fight environments .
