00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000

00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,909
The 11th Air Task Force made history as 

3
00:00:10,909 --> 00:00:13,020
the first air task force to deploy to 

4
00:00:13,020 --> 00:00:15,350
Saipan during Exercise Resolute Force 

5
00:00:15,350 --> 00:00:17,950
Pacific . Around 350 airmen from 

6
00:00:17,950 --> 00:00:20,360
Arizona , Nevada , and New Mexico spent 

7
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,138
months training together before 

8
00:00:22,138 --> 00:00:24,249
deploying as a single unit . The task 

9
00:00:24,249 --> 00:00:26,027
force managed base operations , 

10
00:00:26,069 --> 00:00:28,236
security , logistics , and emergency . 

11
00:00:28,274 --> 00:00:30,496
Scenarios during the deployment proving 

12
00:00:30,496 --> 00:00:32,385
the model could handle real world 

13
00:00:32,385 --> 00:00:34,107
challenges . ATFs replaced the 

14
00:00:34,107 --> 00:00:36,330
expeditionary airbase model and are the 

15
00:00:36,330 --> 00:00:38,244
next evolution of the Air Force's 

16
00:00:38,244 --> 00:00:40,355
progress toward the deployable combat 

17
00:00:40,355 --> 00:00:42,522
wing . They are significant in the Air 

18
00:00:42,522 --> 00:00:44,577
Force's journey toward modernization 

19
00:00:44,577 --> 00:00:46,800
and readiness to maintain a competitive 

20
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,911
advantage over the pacing challenge . 

21
00:00:48,970 --> 00:00:51,450
Explosive ordnance disposal robots are 

22
00:00:51,450 --> 00:00:53,130
set to receive upgraded depth 

23
00:00:53,130 --> 00:00:55,241
perception capabilities by way of the 

24
00:00:55,241 --> 00:00:57,330
innovation accelerator program . A 

25
00:00:57,330 --> 00:01:00,450
former EOD senior NCO developed the EOD 

26
00:01:00,450 --> 00:01:02,729
depth perception system which creates a 

27
00:01:02,729 --> 00:01:04,785
fixed reference in the camera view , 

28
00:01:04,785 --> 00:01:06,840
allowing operators to better . Judge 

29
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,007
distance . What started as an idea for 

30
00:01:09,007 --> 00:01:11,007
a school project turned into an Air 

31
00:01:11,007 --> 00:01:13,229
Force life cycle management pattern and 

32
00:01:13,229 --> 00:01:15,173
through the innovation accelerator 

33
00:01:15,173 --> 00:01:17,340
program , the system gained research , 

34
00:01:17,340 --> 00:01:19,562
development , and financial resources , 

35
00:01:19,562 --> 00:01:21,562
ultimately securing a manufacturing 

36
00:01:21,562 --> 00:01:23,785
partner to develop and scale the system 

37
00:01:23,785 --> 00:01:26,160
force wide . The first ever class of 

38
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,216
guardians graduated from the officer 

39
00:01:28,216 --> 00:01:30,438
training course at Peterson Space Force 

40
00:01:30,438 --> 00:01:32,493
Base , Colorado , marking a historic 

41
00:01:32,493 --> 00:01:34,493
milestone for the Space Force . The 

42
00:01:34,493 --> 00:01:36,660
yearlong program was completed by more 

43
00:01:36,660 --> 00:01:38,771
than 80 officers and is part of a new 

44
00:01:38,771 --> 00:01:40,938
effort to redesign how the space force 

45
00:01:40,938 --> 00:01:42,938
trains and develops personnel . The 

46
00:01:42,938 --> 00:01:45,104
course combines training and satellite 

47
00:01:45,104 --> 00:01:47,216
intelligence and cyber operations and 

48
00:01:47,216 --> 00:01:49,271
is designed to produce a disciplined 

49
00:01:49,271 --> 00:01:51,216
officer corps that understands the 

50
00:01:51,216 --> 00:01:53,049
mission and has the skill set to 

51
00:01:53,049 --> 00:01:55,216
perform space operations . That's your 

52
00:01:55,216 --> 00:01:57,382
look around the Air Force . I'm Airman 

53
00:01:57,382 --> 00:01:59,010
