00:04.480 --> 00:06.599
This exercise prepared the men and

00:06.599 --> 00:08.920
women of the Flying Tigers to have a

00:08.920 --> 00:11.600
heightened sense of what contestant

00:11.600 --> 00:14.359
environment really means , whether it's

00:14.359 --> 00:16.137
looking in the right places for

00:16.137 --> 00:18.359
indications and warnings , whether it's

00:18.359 --> 00:20.879
relaying critical information across

00:20.879 --> 00:23.200
the formation or whether it's taking

00:23.200 --> 00:26.280
timely action to mitigate risk and

00:26.280 --> 00:28.336
ensure the mission gets accomplished

00:28.336 --> 00:31.479
and all flying tigers survive and win .

00:32.259 --> 00:34.370
This exercise offered the opportunity

00:34.370 --> 00:36.426
to practice that several times every

00:36.426 --> 00:37.815
single day . The biggest

00:37.815 --> 00:39.926
accomplishments for the men and women

00:39.926 --> 00:42.209
of the 23rd wing during Mosaic Tiger is

00:42.209 --> 00:45.119
that we're able to adapt and overcome

00:45.119 --> 00:47.341
in a contested environment . We're able

00:47.341 --> 00:50.610
to set up different bases , execute

00:50.610 --> 00:53.560
command and control , deliver air power

00:53.560 --> 00:55.727
on behalf of the combatant commander ,

00:55.970 --> 00:57.914
all while dealing with the fog and

00:57.914 --> 00:59.914
friction of war and the . Adversary

00:59.914 --> 01:03.595
actions above all we built a team

01:03.595 --> 01:05.845
merging the 23rd wing and and our our

01:05.845 --> 01:08.084
new 23rd cabs here has been pretty

01:08.084 --> 01:10.251
seamless . Uh , I think everybody felt

01:10.251 --> 01:12.195
like part of the same team . I , I

01:12.195 --> 01:14.306
didn't see any delineation between us

01:14.306 --> 01:16.195
and them as far as our airmen are

01:16.195 --> 01:18.362
concerned . I think everybody was just

01:18.362 --> 01:20.417
just ready to be in the fight . This

01:20.417 --> 01:22.473
exercise helps us prepare for , uh ,

01:22.473 --> 01:22.125
being able to fight in an ambiguous

01:22.125 --> 01:24.292
environment to be able to adjust where

01:24.292 --> 01:26.514
necessary no matter what gets thrown at

01:26.514 --> 01:29.449
us . Now we not only have trust across

01:29.449 --> 01:31.809
the formation , we also have a sense of

01:31.809 --> 01:34.150
confidence that we can build on going

01:34.150 --> 01:37.239
forward so congratulations , thank you ,

01:37.569 --> 01:39.680
and there's plenty more ahead , but I

01:39.680 --> 01:40.080
know we're gonna win .
