1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:04,550 --> 00:00:06,606 I'm here to talk about readiness and 3 00:00:06,606 --> 00:00:08,272 lethality and and setting the 4 00:00:08,272 --> 00:00:10,217 conditions for us to fight and win 5 00:00:10,217 --> 00:00:12,383 against our pacing challenge . This is 6 00:00:12,383 --> 00:00:14,106 a precondition to it just like 7 00:00:14,106 --> 00:00:13,979 financial readiness is , spiritual 8 00:00:13,979 --> 00:00:16,146 readiness is , physical readiness is , 9 00:00:16,146 --> 00:00:18,780 right ? They all build into a a a 10 00:00:18,780 --> 00:00:20,891 combat ready airman , and that's what 11 00:00:20,891 --> 00:00:22,669 we need . We could afford in an 12 00:00:22,669 --> 00:00:24,724 uncontested environment to figure it 13 00:00:24,724 --> 00:00:26,836 out when we got there . We could roll 14 00:00:26,836 --> 00:00:26,540 in deep with a couple 1000 people from 15 00:00:26,540 --> 00:00:28,739 all over the service and just get 16 00:00:28,739 --> 00:00:30,739 organized and get up on this step . 17 00:00:31,409 --> 00:00:33,631 That set of conditions will not present 18 00:00:33,631 --> 00:00:36,270 itself in this new environment . You 19 00:00:36,270 --> 00:00:38,214 are at risk the moment you show up 20 00:00:38,214 --> 00:00:40,437 you're at risk getting there , so we've 21 00:00:40,437 --> 00:00:42,326 got to expose a minimum amount of 22 00:00:42,326 --> 00:00:45,610 airmen necessary to the threat . This 23 00:00:45,610 --> 00:00:48,169 is not more with less . This is 24 00:00:48,169 --> 00:00:50,369 dangerous . People are going to be at 25 00:00:50,369 --> 00:00:53,619 risk and people can die . You're gonna 26 00:00:53,619 --> 00:00:55,659 be taking those airmen to war . You 27 00:00:55,659 --> 00:00:57,992 don't need to be taking 30 extra people . 28 00:00:57,992 --> 00:01:00,159 We can't afford it . We don't have the 29 00:01:00,159 --> 00:01:02,215 supply chains to support it , and we 30 00:01:02,215 --> 00:01:04,270 certainly can't accept that level of 31 00:01:04,270 --> 00:01:06,326 risk . So we've got to get maximum . 32 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,660 Capability out of every single person 33 00:01:10,660 --> 00:01:12,604 that we put into harm's way and so 34 00:01:12,604 --> 00:01:14,771 that's why in operating is important , 35 00:01:14,771 --> 00:01:16,660 interchangeability is important , 36 00:01:16,660 --> 00:01:18,882 understanding the operating environment 37 00:01:18,882 --> 00:01:20,993 is important so that we can prepare , 38 00:01:20,993 --> 00:01:23,104 qualify , exercise certified together 39 00:01:23,104 --> 00:01:25,327 in Garrison and take the minimum amount 40 00:01:25,327 --> 00:01:27,216 of people you need to execute the 41 00:01:27,216 --> 00:01:27,959 mission of your assigned organization .
