 Good morning. I'm Lieutenant Andrew Grady. I'm from the District 5 Command Center, RCC Norfolk. We're here to support the ASARX 2021. It's a joint operation between RCC Lodges, RCC Norfolk, and a host of other nations. It's all about being good stewards of the international SAR system. We all support each other in international SAR. The Canadians are providing aircraft and search and rescue personnel. You have the Portuguese as well, of course, with RCC Lodges and MRCC Delgada. My name's Captain Nicole Lively. I am a pilot in the Royal Canadian Air Force. I'm one of the air coordinators at the Joint Rescue Coordination Center in Halifax, Nova Scotia. So as part of the Joint Rescue Coordination Center in Halifax, the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Canadian Coast Guard were canned in hand to prosecute all air and sea missions. We were fortunate enough to send the RCF side of the house here to the Azores for the ASARX 21 to help maintain and better develop our working relationship with RCC Lodges and the other participants in the exercise. Our search and rescue region borders onto Portugal's search and rescue region, so understanding how RCC Lodges operates on a daily basis and how we can work together as a partnership to prosecute missions that are mid-Atlantic. It's extremely beneficial for us to be able to have that extra level of understanding. I'm Brigadier General Jean Pereira, I go by Skipper. I'm the commander of Azores Air Zone Command which is responsible for this huge area of search and rescue in the Azores. ASARX is an advanced search and rescue exercise. We are in the air base in the middle of Atlantic Ocean where our main mission is search and rescue within a huge area, one of the biggest in the world and the biggest in Europe. And Azores is an opportunity to bring many players from different parts, different experiences, US and Canada in this time and also all our crews that have a main role on the SAR mission or a secondary role to practice together because all together we can learn from each other and improve every day. This is a great opportunity for us and I think for all the players because it's harder and harder in our days to get many players together to play exercises especially during COVID pandemic situation and this was proven that it's possible maintaining some limitations and some restrictions to protect everybody and within the rules that are set to still exercise. So this was outstanding opportunity for all of us and we thank all the participation for US from Canada and also from our crews.
