 Don't forget those waist straps, pants, boots. Number five also is missing a buck. Can we set it on the ground? Chill, chill, chill. I'll help you brother. I'll help you. He's trying to get it. He's not breathing. Move on, move on. Relax. We're going to make him walk. Okay, you need to just stand. If he does not stand, stand up. Let's go. Come on. If he wants to run, we'll just chase in the right direction. Okay. Just walk with us. Watch him. He's sure to have done that. Come on. Keep going. Keep going. Grab his legs. This didn't work. Trying to help brother. Ah! To the side, over here. Left. In the box. Don't drop. Don't drop. Don't drop. Don't drop. Don't drop. Don't drop. Don't drop. Don't drop. Don't drop. Don't drop. Don't drop. Don't drop. Don't drop. Drop the leg. Drop the leg. Don't drop. Don't drop. It's a condition when you're cr vivo. Okay, easy. Let's focus. Where is the rocket. It's right in between the branches in there. Kind of tucked away. This prestigious silver flag site. The 801st Red Horse Training Squadron. Lieutenant Craig. Lieutenant Colonel Crack. Pulling. Chief Massar Jack. I've seen MassArt James Eckerd, MassArt Jitbrad joining highly dedicated force development managers led by Chief MassArt Edwards Fitzgerald, Mr. Clifford, and Mr. Carrillo at IMSC for their financing. I said, we're going to get old kale before coming to the formal workforce and I turn it over to you for your opening remarks. We're more used to standing out there than we have yet, and I've been kind of screaming a lot this week, so my voice isn't going to project far enough. I think one senior leader in our past history really kind of had a great quote, which kind of summarizes what we're doing here today, and so I think a lot of you probably remember in your history books of General Douglas MacArthur, and what he said is on these fields of friendly strife are sown in the seeds so that on other fields, on other days, bear the fruits of victory. And I think that stands true here. What we're doing here today is preparing you for what you might face in the future. I'd like to think that what we're doing is harder than what you will face in the future, but I'll be honest with you, a lot of the events that we did here today, while individually, they probably will be harder than what you will face in the future, but the complexity and the size of the challenge that we'll be facing I think will be much harder than what we're doing here, and that just kind of really invigorates why it's important to make sure that we're always doing our best to ensure that our airmen are doing what they need to do to prepare themselves for the future. What we do in combat, we expend a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, so I'm just not curious on period readiness challenge. Was there any blood expended? I was going to say a little bit, that's kind of what I wanted to hear. How about sweat? Any sweat? Yes. Yeah, that's kind of what I expected. And were there any tears? Yes. You had tears in front of your engineering? Yeah, just a bit. So, yeah, to me I think that's indicative of the great things that our staff here did to prepare for this event. They made sure that the challenges that you had, major perspire, major sweat, they also made sure that you did these tasks in a safe manner. In the crime piece, I can't help it. You guys are all sensitive or whatever. So, that's on you. So, hey, let's please give a big round of applause to our red horse men over here on the side of all the support that they gave to you all this week. In addition to all the red horsemen here, there's a lot of other folks. They came from all over the world and have some from the CTS in Germany, some from the Dobbins and the Charlotte Training Centers, and a whole bunch of past cadre. And I know a lot of my AFKEX staff here was helping out. So, let's please give them a round of applause. We'll finish up here by saying that this is not the end. A lot of you think, you know, we're having a ceremony, we're handing out some trophies, and then when you head out here, you know, this is done. But no, this is actually the beginning in my opinion. This should hopefully reinvigorate your thoughts about what we need to do as an Air Force and what our Airmen need to be prepared for. And so what I am hoping or what I'm expecting is that when you all leave here, you go back to your installations and you ensure that you share this knowledge, you create other training events to help prepare your Airmen. You don't need to put on a readiness challenge back at your installation, but you should definitely be doing a lot of other things to create different activities to ensure that your Airmen are ready. And not only for civil engineers, I also want you to do this for the rest of your mission support, comrades. I think it's just as important for them to train with you all to prepare them for what might happen. And then finally, you know, after you have your civil engineers and your mission support folks, you know, please spread this ethos across all our Airmen at your wings and at your installations. This is going to be a team fight. You're going to hear about multi-capable Airmen. And a lot of folks will really kind of, you know, pigeonhole that onto, you know, hey, I refuel airplanes and I also load bombs on them. But I will tell you, we've been doing this multi-capable thing in civil engineers for decades. And this fight is going to require a lot of multi-capable Airmen doing all sorts of things, a lot of which you may or may not be trained for. You've got to make sure that you're always constantly making sure you're personally ready, physically ready, mentally ready. That being said, let's get on with the award ceremony. Let's hand out some awards for our top performers and then let's see who wins. Thank you, sir. And now the time we've all been waiting for, the presentation of awards. We will recognize the men and women who worked the hardest and had the most fun this week. This year's Redness Challenge competition teams. First, a new award to Redness Challenge, the Colonel Suzanne Waylett Award, given to the best CGO, Siege, when your name is called. For the best CGO, Captain Austin Kelly, Air Combat Command. For the best CGO, Matt Sergeant Ty Helms, Air National Guard. For the best CGO, Peck Sergeant Jeffrey Gagon, Air Force Global Strike. For the best Airmen, Senior Airman Dominique Wooten, USAV. To recognize one more engineer who has dedicated countless hours in honing the scales of our craftsmen, the several of which are represented today. With six years on active duty, two years in the reserves, and 27 years in the Air National Guard, Master Sergeant Anthony Bowen decided to spend his last days in service here competing at Redness Challenge. On behalf of more than 1,300 engineers you've taught in the last 12 years as a regional training site instructor, Master Sergeant Bowen, please come forward to be recognized. And now we have the specific team awards for the two large and unique team events. The Fog of War as well as the Warrior Course Award. For the Fog of War Top Team Award. Air Combat Command. For the Fog of War Top Team Award. A-E-T-C. Brigadier General William T. Meredith Award. Awarded to the first and second highest overall scoring teams. For second place, Air National Guard. For the first place and the overall winner of Redness Challenge 9. Air Combat Command. Here's your bosses, the Mots and mayors taught you well don't get the general wet. It's also really inspiring to see a father and a son on the same team. I hope you guys take great pride and to me that's what makes civil engineering and the Guard active reserve. It just makes this really special. I know last year the reserve won. I don't know what happened this year, but are we glad you came out? It was really great to see active duty guards show up this year because where the hell were you last year? So this is pretty awesome. We did this event, Redness Challenge for three things. Number one, to test out our airmen's contingency skills. Number two, to assess our unit's readiness. And I think most importantly, number three, for our civil engineer, warfight and ethos. Let it air it. Engineers! You're dismissed.
