1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:06,860 --> 00:00:09,082 When you think about the application of 3 00:00:09,082 --> 00:00:12,510 space power . And how we project war 4 00:00:12,510 --> 00:00:14,677 fighting capability in the space force 5 00:00:15,109 --> 00:00:17,053 really allowed us to have a unique 6 00:00:17,053 --> 00:00:19,430 force presentation . That's our 7 00:00:19,430 --> 00:00:21,652 employed in place forces . Now that's a 8 00:00:21,652 --> 00:00:24,340 preponderance of how we project power 9 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,538 from the space force's guardian 10 00:00:26,538 --> 00:00:28,149 guardians , but we also have 11 00:00:28,149 --> 00:00:30,371 individuals who do deploy down range in 12 00:00:30,371 --> 00:00:32,316 theater in hostile environments in 13 00:00:32,316 --> 00:00:34,371 austere locations , but for the most 14 00:00:34,371 --> 00:00:36,538 part they're employed in place . There 15 00:00:36,538 --> 00:00:38,593 are guardians that are executing the 16 00:00:38,593 --> 00:00:40,093 mission from our bases and 17 00:00:40,093 --> 00:00:42,260 installations not only here within the 18 00:00:42,260 --> 00:00:44,593 United States but also overseas as well . 19 00:00:44,919 --> 00:00:47,086 So when you think about the importance 20 00:00:47,086 --> 00:00:49,141 of Schriever Space Force space , and 21 00:00:49,141 --> 00:00:52,119 why that's important . All three core 22 00:00:52,119 --> 00:00:54,175 functions of the space source really 23 00:00:54,175 --> 00:00:56,860 are executed from Schriever . Assured 24 00:00:56,860 --> 00:01:00,200 space access , global space operations , 25 00:01:00,459 --> 00:01:03,979 space control all executed for the 26 00:01:03,979 --> 00:01:07,220 combatant commands from Schriever Space 27 00:01:07,220 --> 00:01:10,680 Force Base . So having a dedicated team 28 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,199 focused on that mission set just made 29 00:01:13,199 --> 00:01:15,279 sense to be able to do that . That's 30 00:01:15,279 --> 00:01:17,390 not to mention our mission partners , 31 00:01:17,519 --> 00:01:19,408 Missile Defense Agency , US Space 32 00:01:19,408 --> 00:01:22,519 Command are also on Schriever . So Cody , 33 00:01:22,930 --> 00:01:24,986 great question , and as as an airman 34 00:01:24,986 --> 00:01:27,041 who's working in civil engineering , 35 00:01:27,041 --> 00:01:29,097 here's what I would ask you to think 36 00:01:29,097 --> 00:01:31,097 about . When you come to work every 37 00:01:31,097 --> 00:01:32,708 single day , you're not just 38 00:01:32,708 --> 00:01:34,708 maintaining facilities , you're not 39 00:01:34,708 --> 00:01:36,541 just working on the base and the 40 00:01:36,541 --> 00:01:39,430 installation . You are operating our 41 00:01:39,430 --> 00:01:42,830 power projection platforms . That's 42 00:01:42,830 --> 00:01:44,830 exactly what you're doing . All the 43 00:01:44,830 --> 00:01:47,830 airmen who support the space force are 44 00:01:47,830 --> 00:01:50,790 operating our power projection 45 00:01:50,790 --> 00:01:51,550 platforms .
