 My role is the ITC, which is ISR Tactical Controller. I work with MQ9 specifically in this case, and my job is to coordinate between them and everyone else. This is my second year doing Northern Strike, and last year one of the things I noticed with the communications up here is that we're not all talking the same language. Part of that communication piece is I'm able to speak that same language and translate what's happening at the exercise from a white cell side and convert that into a tasking that the MQ9s would be able to understand and looks like a daily mission that they'd receive and make it look as real as possible. So when we're back home we're flying 24-7, 365 days a year, and when we're doing that we're not able to always do the types of trainings we'd like to do. Up here at Northern Strike I'm working with people all throughout the country actually, and I'm able to communicate with them just like we would on a real-world mission and coordinate as if Alpina were the deployed location. So it's very similar to real-world training, but it gives us opportunities to do things that we wouldn't want to have to do until you practice it like you would here at Alpina.
