1 00:00:01,690 --> 00:00:04,030 Polar surgeon personifies who the guard 2 00:00:04,039 --> 00:00:07,880 is . Polar 3 00:00:07,889 --> 00:00:09,889 Search is a partnership between the 4 00:00:09,889 --> 00:00:13,319 2/13 space warning squadron and the 126 5 00:00:13,329 --> 00:00:16,360 intelligence squadron . They uh come up 6 00:00:16,370 --> 00:00:18,459 and they provide unit level 7 00:00:18,469 --> 00:00:20,889 intelligence for us for our operational 8 00:00:20,899 --> 00:00:24,299 mission . We do not have 9 00:00:24,309 --> 00:00:26,799 intelligence assigned to our unit here 10 00:00:26,809 --> 00:00:30,280 at the 2/13 . And so when we went 11 00:00:30,290 --> 00:00:33,509 down for FN Guard , down at the 126 12 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,400 hosted in Ohio , I think the 13 00:00:35,409 --> 00:00:37,750 relationships there were built and we 14 00:00:37,759 --> 00:00:39,815 could see the expertise presented by 15 00:00:39,815 --> 00:00:43,450 the 126 . So my name is Emily 16 00:00:43,459 --> 00:00:45,560 Thompson . I am a staff sergeant and 17 00:00:45,569 --> 00:00:47,736 I'm an all source intelligence analyst 18 00:00:47,736 --> 00:00:49,958 for the 126 intelligence squadron . And 19 00:00:49,958 --> 00:00:51,791 what we're doing as intelligence 20 00:00:51,791 --> 00:00:53,736 analysts is providing intelligence 21 00:00:53,736 --> 00:00:55,958 support to the radar operators who work 22 00:00:55,958 --> 00:00:58,125 here at the base . And what that looks 23 00:00:58,125 --> 00:01:00,180 like is as they're doing their job , 24 00:01:00,180 --> 00:01:02,180 looking out into space and tracking 25 00:01:02,180 --> 00:01:04,347 objects or there's something happening 26 00:01:04,347 --> 00:01:06,870 that's not normal . Um They can come to 27 00:01:06,879 --> 00:01:09,349 us and they ask us what's happening , 28 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,930 what's going on ? Why is this abnormal ? 29 00:01:11,989 --> 00:01:13,933 And what can you tell us about the 30 00:01:13,933 --> 00:01:17,690 system ? I think the best part of this 31 00:01:17,699 --> 00:01:20,190 partnership is the ability for it to 32 00:01:20,199 --> 00:01:22,370 grow all of our airmen , both the 126 33 00:01:22,379 --> 00:01:24,709 and the 2/13 . In order to do our jobs 34 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,942 effectively , we need to be confident , 35 00:01:26,942 --> 00:01:29,164 we need to think outside of the box and 36 00:01:29,164 --> 00:01:32,889 having our 126 airmen come here and do 37 00:01:32,900 --> 00:01:34,956 that and provide information for the 38 00:01:34,956 --> 00:01:37,709 2/13 . Um It teaches them different 39 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,664 aspect of their mission , of their 40 00:01:39,664 --> 00:01:41,664 intelligence mission and it teaches 41 00:01:41,664 --> 00:01:43,776 them how to relay that information to 42 00:01:43,776 --> 00:01:45,887 other people . And then it teaches us 43 00:01:45,887 --> 00:01:48,129 to be a little bit more involved in 44 00:01:48,139 --> 00:01:50,306 what we're doing , whether it's on the 45 00:01:50,306 --> 00:01:52,472 operation side or the intel side , you 46 00:01:52,472 --> 00:01:54,695 know , when the time comes they're able 47 00:01:54,695 --> 00:01:56,695 to go out and do what the Air force 48 00:01:56,695 --> 00:01:59,199 asks of them and that's how we win 49 00:01:59,209 --> 00:01:59,830 worse .
