 I'm Sergeant First Class Lewis Owens. I'm from Charlie Bay, 3320th Red Knight, Rocket Sons, Third Brigade, Rocket Sons, 101st Airborne Division Airsoft. All right so today we're doing elevated drills with M77 Alpha II. What this does is just give us the ability to build combat power. It's just adding one more step to our proficiency and allowing our hookup teams to be able to safely get underneath an aircraft and hook up a M77 so that we can do long range aerosol missions or an aerosol raid or whatever the brigade is asking us to do. The way it does that, the Chinook has the ability to pick up 30,000 pounds. Our M77 is weighing 10,000 pounds so we're using a dual point method in order to hook up using the fore and the aft hook. It's just the ability to lift it up and keep it from moving as it's traveling and flying it. So we're here on MK Air Base. Our mission here is really just to train the troops. That's why we do these tasks like aerosol, elevated drills. We just work on our proficiency levels to make sure that we're ready to ensure NATO allies and make sure that we're ready to deter any forces whenever may need be. Hello my name is Sergeant Jamie Kryder, Charlie Battery, 3,320th, 3rd Brigade, Red Knight, Roc-A-Saintz, 101st Airborne Division, Aerosol. So today it was some of my soldiers first time hooking up the M77 Alpha II to the CH-47. So what I did was I integrated some of my experienced soldiers with the new soldiers to ensure that they were doing everything properly and safely. The reason why it's important that we're doing this is you never know what we're going to be called to do in the near future. So we want to make sure we're proficiently trained in absolutely everything that we can possibly do.
