WEBVTT 00:00.009 --> 00:02.231 It's been an honor for all of us to get 00:02.231 --> 00:04.398 to be a part of this this initiative . 00:04.398 --> 00:06.620 So typically we've been dismounted with 00:06.620 --> 00:08.842 with their drone teams . We'll have one 00:08.842 --> 00:11.120 team dismounted with their drone teams . 00:11.120 --> 00:13.342 We'll kind of go high and low with them 00:13.342 --> 00:13.220 along the riverside . Then we'll have a 00:13.220 --> 00:15.720 drone team and overwatch as well for a 00:15.720 --> 00:18.053 broader picture from a higher elevation . 00:18.440 --> 00:20.629 To put it simply , you would see us 00:21.139 --> 00:23.472 searching for potential people . I mean , 00:23.472 --> 00:25.361 so looking through debris piles , 00:25.361 --> 00:27.361 possible collection points from the 00:27.361 --> 00:30.120 river and the recent storms . Articles 00:30.120 --> 00:32.680 of clothing , any telltale signs like 00:32.680 --> 00:35.409 that . Also looking for extraction 00:35.409 --> 00:37.631 points , uh , insertion points for both 00:37.631 --> 00:40.479 the checks and task force personnel as 00:40.479 --> 00:42.590 well crossing points , just basically 00:42.590 --> 00:44.812 be in their eyes where they can't see . 00:44.812 --> 00:47.035 As everybody's seen both in wartime and 00:47.035 --> 00:49.201 peacetime operations recently , drones 00:49.201 --> 00:51.201 have been the eyes and the ears for 00:51.201 --> 00:53.389 both military , law enforcement , 00:53.759 --> 00:56.000 basically guiding them in for more of a 00:56.000 --> 00:58.333 peacetime example I guess you could say . 00:58.333 --> 01:00.556 It's really been an . Honored to get to 01:00.556 --> 01:02.500 work with these guys . These are a 01:02.500 --> 01:04.667 really high speed group of guys . They 01:04.667 --> 01:06.722 have experience all around the world 01:06.722 --> 01:08.722 doing search and rescue initiatives 01:08.722 --> 01:10.833 from Indonesia , different areas like 01:10.833 --> 01:12.889 that . They're they're , they're top 01:12.889 --> 01:12.800 line . They're great , great to get to 01:12.800 --> 01:14.911 work with them . They're here to work 01:14.911 --> 01:17.133 too . They , they want to work as y'all 01:17.133 --> 01:17.099 probably noticed myself and Sergeant 01:17.099 --> 01:19.160 Bartram , we're both dismounted with 01:19.160 --> 01:21.879 him , and we basically went high low . 01:21.919 --> 01:24.086 He would use his mini drone , which is 01:24.086 --> 01:26.308 a first person drone y'all probably saw 01:26.308 --> 01:28.419 him with the goggles in order to scan 01:28.419 --> 01:30.419 along the river line . With between 01:30.419 --> 01:32.530 trees and things that might be harder 01:32.530 --> 01:32.400 for us to do with our drone are a 01:32.400 --> 01:35.440 little risky , but we scanned above the 01:35.440 --> 01:37.760 tree line basically to give him a macro 01:37.760 --> 01:39.982 view as well as the outside of the tree 01:39.982 --> 01:42.316 line , so looking at points of interest , 01:42.316 --> 01:44.427 debris gathering points , things like 01:44.427 --> 01:46.593 that , because he's getting in between 01:46.593 --> 01:48.760 the the the trees with a smaller first 01:48.760 --> 01:51.860 person view drone . So he can say see 01:51.860 --> 01:53.916 in between the trees , maybe there's 01:53.916 --> 01:55.971 something that we missed that a tree 01:55.971 --> 01:58.027 perhaps got in the way of , while we 01:58.027 --> 02:00.082 can see the outside of the wood line 02:00.082 --> 02:02.249 alongside the river which he might not 02:02.249 --> 02:04.416 be able to see while he's in the weeds 02:04.416 --> 02:06.582 with that smaller drove . So basically 02:06.582 --> 02:08.638 we're going high low from a military 02:08.638 --> 02:10.749 standpoint and we're we're looking at 02:10.749 --> 02:12.860 at both sides as well as interior and 02:12.860 --> 02:15.138 the exterior of the river . So we , we , 02:15.138 --> 02:17.027 we , we dismounted with them . We 02:17.027 --> 02:19.289 initially we stopped about every 300 02:19.309 --> 02:22.330 400 m and scanned just like I said 02:22.330 --> 02:24.552 after that , we kind of let the dogs do 02:24.552 --> 02:26.774 the work and looked at potential points 02:26.774 --> 02:28.997 of interest from there . Just humbled , 02:28.997 --> 02:31.052 honestly humbled that we get to be a 02:31.052 --> 02:30.690 part of this , humbled that we get to 02:30.690 --> 02:33.649 help , and I , I know that my RPIs , so 02:33.649 --> 02:35.760 my remote drone pilots see things the 02:35.760 --> 02:37.982 same way that I do , very tragic what's 02:37.982 --> 02:40.205 happened , but I'm , I'm glad we can at 02:40.205 --> 02:42.482 least be here here to potentially help . 02:42.482 --> 02:44.260 Trying to find , trying to find 02:44.260 --> 02:46.427 everybody we can for the families , at 02:46.427 --> 02:48.593 least bring closure or , God willing , 02:48.593 --> 02:50.649 find , find somebody's still alive , 02:50.649 --> 02:50.179 it's .
