WEBVTT 00:00.759 --> 00:03.250 Operation . Agile Spartan is an agile 00:03.259 --> 00:05.949 combat employment exercise in 00:05.960 --> 00:07.849 coordination with several partner 00:07.849 --> 00:10.071 nations . And the reason we're doing it 00:10.071 --> 00:12.071 is to increase our preparedness and 00:12.071 --> 00:14.850 legality in the region in support of 00:14.869 --> 00:16.591 our National Tasking Authority 00:17.590 --> 00:19.590 attachment . Two is executing agile 00:19.590 --> 00:22.239 combat employment by launching combat 00:22.250 --> 00:25.440 missions from a dispersed location 00:25.450 --> 00:27.610 showing that we can execute our 00:27.620 --> 00:30.700 missions from an atypical location with 00:30.709 --> 00:31.709 limited support . 00:34.830 --> 00:36.774 Partnership is very vital for this 00:36.774 --> 00:39.740 mission . We're here at NSA Suda Bay , 00:39.750 --> 00:41.917 Greece . So not only are we partnering 00:41.917 --> 00:43.972 with the Navy in their space , we're 00:43.972 --> 00:45.972 also on a Greek Air Force base . So 00:45.972 --> 00:48.194 we're partnering with them to use their 00:48.194 --> 00:50.361 facilities to still be able to execute 00:50.361 --> 00:52.472 daily past missions in support of our 00:52.472 --> 00:54.528 combat commanders . During a time of 00:54.528 --> 00:56.694 war , we may not be able to operate in 00:56.694 --> 00:58.917 known locations . So we have to be able 00:58.917 --> 01:00.861 to pick up and move and operate in 01:00.861 --> 01:02.694 places , unfamiliar or even with 01:02.694 --> 01:04.750 limited resources and still complete 01:04.750 --> 01:07.739 the mission . The R 135 provides a 01:07.750 --> 01:10.290 broad spectrum of reconnaissance 01:10.300 --> 01:12.800 information to the battle space to help 01:12.809 --> 01:14.976 the combat commanders develop a battle 01:14.976 --> 01:16.753 plan and have a picture of what 01:16.753 --> 01:18.976 adversaries are doing and how to employ 01:18.976 --> 01:20.698 other assets to be more combat 01:20.698 --> 01:24.489 effective . We are the only manned is r 01:24.500 --> 01:27.309 aircraft that has this level of 01:27.319 --> 01:29.050 flexibility in the operational 01:29.059 --> 01:31.720 environment . What I love about my job 01:31.730 --> 01:34.389 is seeing the level of tactical and 01:34.400 --> 01:36.739 strategic value that the RC 135 can 01:36.750 --> 01:39.180 bring by its various intelligence 01:39.190 --> 01:41.246 professionals joining together for a 01:41.246 --> 01:43.800 common goal and driving intelligence in 01:43.809 --> 01:47.699 this operation . AGL Spartan has been a 01:47.709 --> 01:50.510 resounding success . We're able to 01:50.569 --> 01:53.400 posture at a dispersed location , prove 01:53.410 --> 01:55.680 interoperability with our partners and 01:55.690 --> 01:57.349 generate combat air power for .
