To provide security to this 00:07.276 --> 00:10.950 nation's capital . Hey , 00:10.950 --> 00:14.500 today training . So as a military place 00:14.500 --> 00:16.722 soldier , you need to ensure that their 00:16.722 --> 00:18.722 security of not only the troops but 00:18.722 --> 00:21.160 people you're obviously serving so thin 00:21.160 --> 00:23.327 ties in because we're gonna be going d 00:23.327 --> 00:26.120 c , we're gonna be protecting they 00:26.120 --> 00:28.009 should Capitol buildings , things 00:28.009 --> 00:29.620 they're they're going on and 00:29.620 --> 00:31.750 participate and security for the 00:31.750 --> 00:33.917 presidential inauguration that's going 00:33.917 --> 00:35.806 to take place . You don't kind of 00:35.806 --> 00:37.460 federal civilian agencies . 00:39.940 --> 00:42.107 So specifically , we do a lot of right 00:42.107 --> 00:44.273 control training . Um , but not on Lee 00:44.273 --> 00:46.550 right control , but also ties into a 00:46.560 --> 00:49.340 checkpoint security eso We do a lot of 00:49.340 --> 00:52.760 that on our weekends and during 18 it 00:52.760 --> 00:55.000 all ties in to our mission that we're 00:55.010 --> 00:58.900 now been tasked to dio Good . How 00:58.900 --> 01:01.200 does it feel the nation in the distant 01:01.200 --> 01:03.470 past ? Um , it's honestly a great honor 01:03.470 --> 01:05.637 to be able to go to Washington D . C . 01:05.637 --> 01:07.748 And able to be a part of this because 01:07.748 --> 01:09.914 this is part of our nation's history . 01:09.914 --> 01:12.026 And now more than ever , what kind of 01:12.026 --> 01:14.192 other state or open ? How does it feel 01:14.192 --> 01:16.081 to be a Guardsman . I love in the 01:16.081 --> 01:18.248 National Guard its benefit of being so 01:18.248 --> 01:19.748 many different ways . Um , 01:19.748 --> 01:21.859 educationally is provided me a lot of 01:21.859 --> 01:23.970 skills , and I get to do fun stuff 01:23.980 --> 01:25.980 every once in a while whenever they 01:25.980 --> 01:28.091 call me up . So it's great . Thanks . 01:28.091 --> 01:30.202 What do you do on the civilian ? What 01:30.202 --> 01:32.202 do you do on the E ? Inside I go to 01:32.202 --> 01:34.369 Western Illinois University , which is 01:34.369 --> 01:36.480 also paid for by the Guard , which is 01:36.480 --> 01:38.647 amazing . I just started a little side 01:38.647 --> 01:40.647 business of my own , and I'm also a 01:40.647 --> 01:42.869 member of the Illinois Military Funeral 01:42.869 --> 01:44.980 Honors program . What ? He helped you 01:44.980 --> 01:47.860 for school . So one reason that I chose 01:47.860 --> 01:50.027 the National Guard nice , particularly 01:50.027 --> 01:51.916 chose military police was because 01:51.916 --> 01:53.693 that's what I want to do on the 01:53.693 --> 01:55.749 civilian side . So I'm able to go to 01:55.749 --> 01:58.420 school and get that education . Um , 01:58.420 --> 02:01.090 going to school for law enforcement and 02:01.090 --> 02:03.550 then receiving those military police 02:03.550 --> 02:06.920 skills on that actual hands on training 02:06.930 --> 02:08.860 from the military is definitely 02:08.860 --> 02:10.970 beneficial as far as being able thio 02:11.340 --> 02:13.340 telling employer that they not only 02:13.340 --> 02:15.340 have I learned this at school , but 02:15.340 --> 02:17.451 I've actually served in this capacity 02:17.451 --> 02:20.520 before . All right , you tell us what's 02:20.520 --> 02:23.030 going on here today ? Today the unit is 02:23.030 --> 02:24.863 getting ready to step off school 02:25.440 --> 02:28.390 District of Columbia to support the D C 02:28.390 --> 02:30.390 National Guard under the Joint Task 02:30.390 --> 02:33.330 Force for D . C and then augment This 02:33.330 --> 02:36.260 is for the presidential inauguration 02:37.540 --> 02:40.650 trump training that you've done to 02:40.650 --> 02:43.500 prepare for Yeah , this mission's been 02:43.500 --> 02:45.500 planned for quite some time several 02:45.500 --> 02:47.556 months ago , just in preparation for 02:47.556 --> 02:49.722 the presidential inauguration itself . 02:49.722 --> 02:51.778 Obviously , with the different media 02:51.778 --> 02:53.667 attention with increased security 02:53.667 --> 02:55.556 threat , we've stepped it up to a 02:55.556 --> 02:57.667 little bit more of a high profile for 02:57.667 --> 03:00.520 us . But a Sfar preparation goes . This 03:00.520 --> 03:02.631 unit has deployed already three times 03:02.631 --> 03:04.520 to the city Chicago for the civil 03:04.520 --> 03:06.798 disturbance within the city of Chicago , 03:06.798 --> 03:08.909 soas faras training goes . This is by 03:08.909 --> 03:11.020 far the most well trained , most well 03:11.020 --> 03:10.930 equipped team that could possibly to go 03:10.930 --> 03:13.210 to D . C . Actually , so you'll have 03:13.210 --> 03:15.432 concepts is that you'll be working with 03:15.432 --> 03:17.543 out there and how that's gonna affect 03:17.543 --> 03:19.710 your mission personally . Here there's 03:19.710 --> 03:21.877 several task forces that air with in D 03:21.877 --> 03:24.043 C that fall under the Joint Task Force 03:24.043 --> 03:26.210 for D . C . I believe it's 11 or so of 03:26.210 --> 03:28.543 the Joint Task Force that are out there , 03:28.543 --> 03:30.710 which one will fall under is yet to be 03:30.710 --> 03:30.610 determined at this point . Because 03:30.610 --> 03:33.510 because an MP group is so viable to any 03:33.510 --> 03:35.288 different force were able to be 03:35.288 --> 03:37.510 augmented under something for , I would 03:37.510 --> 03:39.566 assume is going to be for a policing 03:39.566 --> 03:41.677 augmentation for D . C or just decent 03:41.677 --> 03:45.340 garment . Another . Any given time the 03:45.350 --> 03:48.040 company be doing on the ground , Uh , 03:48.050 --> 03:49.960 this group is gonna be for mostly 03:49.960 --> 03:52.230 military police . So it's going to be 03:52.240 --> 03:55.200 checkpoints and , uh , critical site 03:55.200 --> 03:57.422 security . Those are the two major ones 03:57.422 --> 03:59.589 as well as traffic control is what the 03:59.589 --> 04:01.533 current mission says that . So our 04:01.533 --> 04:02.410 motto is always right .
