Hi , my name is Captain Roger Tran . 

2
00:00:02,970 --> 00:00:05,192
I'm the nuclear medical science officer 

3
00:00:05,192 --> 00:00:07,248
for the 103rd civil support Team for 

4
00:00:07,248 --> 00:00:09,414
weapons of mass destruction exercise . 

5
00:00:09,414 --> 00:00:11,900
Van winkle is a multi agency multi CST 

6
00:00:11,900 --> 00:00:15,830
exercise . We have teams from all over 

7
00:00:15,830 --> 00:00:17,941
the country , as well as working with 

8
00:00:17,941 --> 00:00:21,050
the FBI local law enforcement fire , um 

9
00:00:21,050 --> 00:00:22,994
and tying everything together from 

10
00:00:22,994 --> 00:00:25,217
federal assets and local assets to help 

11
00:00:25,217 --> 00:00:27,106
identify and respond to hazardous 

12
00:00:27,106 --> 00:00:30,700
materials incidents . The importance of 

13
00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:32,990
the Alaska National Guard . Being able 

14
00:00:32,990 --> 00:00:36,170
to work in interagency operations makes 

15
00:00:36,170 --> 00:00:39,850
us a viable asset for whenever 

16
00:00:39,900 --> 00:00:42,160
large scale events take place . 

17
00:00:45,940 --> 00:00:48,218
The main thing that we get out of this , 

18
00:00:48,218 --> 00:00:50,273
and I think the first responders get 

19
00:00:50,273 --> 00:00:52,384
out of this is so if we show up to an 

20
00:00:52,384 --> 00:00:54,440
incident site , we're not exchanging 

21
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,662
business cards on an incident site , so 

22
00:00:56,662 --> 00:00:58,718
we're building relationships , we're 

23
00:00:58,718 --> 00:01:00,607
getting that familiarity with the 

24
00:01:00,607 --> 00:01:02,829
people that we would work with and work 

25
00:01:02,829 --> 00:01:04,551
for on a scene for if and when 

26
00:01:04,551 --> 00:01:07,100
something happens . A real world 

27
00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:09,540
situations are often very complex and 

28
00:01:09,540 --> 00:01:12,200
dynamic and being able to know the 

29
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,422
capabilities what type of equipment and 

30
00:01:14,422 --> 00:01:16,589
training that our sister agencies have 

31
00:01:16,589 --> 00:01:18,478
together allow us to just hit the 

32
00:01:18,478 --> 00:01:20,644
ground running and work very quickly , 

33
00:01:23,140 --> 00:01:23,560
correct
