 So every year a lot of times Lake Engle designate a squadron to go to TLP so this particular time obviously the 490 seconds here We have other nations here, so we're currently playing with the Italians which have brought their GR4s we have the Greeks who have brought their F-16s obviously we have our F-15s here, and there's a couple other different types of aircraft Why is that important? Well our pilots get their best training and a thing called dissimilar aircraft F-15s we usually train with each other, so we'll be a family against each other We'll fight against each other and the other aircraft you're out there will be wrapping some sort of red rep But here you're you're fighting against Rafael's you're fighting against F-18s, and that's why it's incredibly important For things like this is because we all have different tactics We have different ways of solving different problems different problem sets, and so when you have different nations Working together we kind of see how we each approach a different problem The way that this program is designed over a three-week period is that we have our six pilots going through it And they will literally set themselves up almost every mission for pre-mission So they're pre-briefing they come in probably four hours prior to their flight. They're sitting with all their allied partners They're literally going through mission cards. They're talking about weapons capability. They're talking about target dynamic-ing Looking at things down their scope trying to make sure that if it's going to be a hostile target Or if it's a friendly target, and then they kind of look to the different circumstances as to how they are going to Formulate a plan together in the in the pre-brief They execute it in the actual mission in the air and then they come back and they actually do it probably what is Maybe a four to six hour brief afterwards talking about how it went what went right what went wrong And the thing that's been set up specifically going into the missions what they call a DLO Which is a designated learning objective a DLO and so the idea is that they said okay today We are going to set the parameters of that as a target and we need to take out that target Well that specific target can't be taken out because it's protected by four sands Well, how are you going to get to that target with the four sands up? Well, you're going to need these aircraft to take out those four sands before we can drive one aircraft to the target And they go through that whole mission training to just to find that one objective to be accomplished And you can you know you could do that as a US Air Force asset on your own But when you're in a NATO nation like this and a NATO ally like this You're gonna want to try to do that with everyone involved because again one the training is there, but two Hopefully in circumstances like this in the world that we live in now is that you're not gonna want to do it on your own You're gonna want to bring your allied partners in on board
