 I'm Lieutenant Colonel Matthew McGraw, the battalion commander for the first battalions of the 214th Aviation Regiment. We're joining you from Besmer Air Base in Bulgaria. We launched from three garrisons in Germany, crossing seven countries, traveling more than a thousand miles in less than 12 hours with 17 helicopters that are here behind me to participate in SWIFT response, which is a major exercise for demonstrating our ability to deploy rapidly to the eastern edge of the European theater. The purpose of this training is to demonstrate our ability to project forces across the European theater.
