1
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,767
So what we have going on here is the E 

2
00:00:05,767 --> 00:00:07,989
O . D . Team of the Year Championship . 

3
00:00:08,170 --> 00:00:10,226
And this is an opportunity for us to 

4
00:00:10,226 --> 00:00:12,226
pick our best Air Force E . O . D . 

5
00:00:12,226 --> 00:00:13,948
Teams and get them some really 

6
00:00:13,948 --> 00:00:16,000
challenging problems to be able to 

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,167
compare different tactics , techniques 

8
00:00:18,167 --> 00:00:20,389
and procedures . And this is a training 

9
00:00:20,389 --> 00:00:22,660
event but it's also competitive and 

10
00:00:22,660 --> 00:00:24,882
it's also training the trainers because 

11
00:00:24,882 --> 00:00:26,993
we're improving our quality assurance 

12
00:00:26,993 --> 00:00:29,327
teams through this kind of an operation . 

13
00:00:29,327 --> 00:00:31,470
It's a partnership between the major 

14
00:00:31,470 --> 00:00:33,910
commands and the E O . D . Flights that 

15
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,783
support these events as well as the Air 

16
00:00:36,783 --> 00:00:39,033
Force Civil Engineer Center . They put 

17
00:00:39,043 --> 00:00:40,876
forth a lot of the expertise and 

18
00:00:40,876 --> 00:00:44,093
experience to man the the actual 

19
00:00:44,103 --> 00:00:46,723
Kadre that developed the scenarios , 

20
00:00:46,883 --> 00:00:48,827
but none of this would be possible 

21
00:00:48,827 --> 00:00:51,133
without . I M S C . A F I M S C 

22
00:00:51,133 --> 00:00:53,189
provides the resources , the funding 

23
00:00:53,293 --> 00:00:55,753
and and the oversight for these events . 

24
00:00:55,913 --> 00:00:57,603
And we think that a F I . M . 

25
00:00:58,396 --> 00:01:00,976
Investment in this next year is going 

26
00:01:00,976 --> 00:01:02,976
to be even larger and more critical 

27
00:01:02,976 --> 00:01:04,976
than it was this year . This is the 

28
00:01:04,976 --> 00:01:07,198
first year that we've done this for the 

29
00:01:07,198 --> 00:01:09,087
whole Air Force . We've had three 

30
00:01:09,087 --> 00:01:11,309
different regions participating in this 

31
00:01:11,309 --> 00:01:13,532
next year . We're going to expand it to 

32
00:01:13,532 --> 00:01:15,532
nine with the Championship and we'd 

33
00:01:15,532 --> 00:01:17,698
like to do this jointly with the other 

34
00:01:17,698 --> 00:01:19,643
services and even invite coalition 

35
00:01:19,643 --> 00:01:20,150
partners to be a part of this evolution
