00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000


2
00:00:04,570 --> 00:00:06,792
Airman within the United States Central 

3
00:00:06,792 --> 00:00:09,014
Command region recently participated in 

4
00:00:09,014 --> 00:00:11,070
Desert Flag nine . This exercise was 

5
00:00:11,070 --> 00:00:13,260
hosted by a regional coalition partner 

6
00:00:13,470 --> 00:00:15,081
and provided airman with the 

7
00:00:15,081 --> 00:00:17,137
opportunity to build a more cohesive 

8
00:00:17,137 --> 00:00:19,260
fighting force participating in a 

9
00:00:19,270 --> 00:00:21,326
multinational exercise . Has made me 

10
00:00:21,326 --> 00:00:23,381
feel like I'm really earning my keep 

11
00:00:23,381 --> 00:00:25,548
with my job working with other units , 

12
00:00:25,548 --> 00:00:27,770
other nations , there's a lot more high 

13
00:00:27,770 --> 00:00:29,937
intensity . One of my biggest takeaway 

14
00:00:29,937 --> 00:00:29,700
so far in exercise has been that not 

15
00:00:29,709 --> 00:00:31,876
everything is as clear cut as it seems 

16
00:00:31,876 --> 00:00:33,876
there's always more going on in the 

17
00:00:33,876 --> 00:00:33,000
background . You're not always fully 

18
00:00:33,009 --> 00:00:35,409
aware of that . You can always be doing 

19
00:00:35,419 --> 00:00:37,970
more reporting from the US Central 

20
00:00:37,979 --> 00:00:39,979
Command region . I'm staff Sergeant 

21
00:00:39,979 --> 00:00:41,110
Kaylee Patterson .
