1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,750 a 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:05,816 major Barrett Alexander , the deputy 3 00:00:05,816 --> 00:00:07,871 commander for the 63rd Civil Support 4 00:00:07,871 --> 00:00:10,038 Team . This event here was coordinated 5 00:00:10,038 --> 00:00:12,720 by the Missouri CST . They were looking 6 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:14,887 for CST is to come up here and be part 7 00:00:14,887 --> 00:00:17,790 of a multi CST training event . Uh , 8 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,350 basically , we're way all come up here 9 00:00:21,350 --> 00:00:23,572 and we trained together . We learn from 10 00:00:23,572 --> 00:00:25,780 each other on DWI Do sort of some sort 11 00:00:25,780 --> 00:00:28,090 of assessment on each other , and 12 00:00:28,100 --> 00:00:30,650 basically , we named the best CST for 13 00:00:30,650 --> 00:00:33,290 that event . It was a notional seen way . 14 00:00:33,290 --> 00:00:35,910 Got the call . Um , here at the hotel , 15 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,460 we activated our alert roster on . Then 16 00:00:39,460 --> 00:00:41,404 we bring everybody together in the 17 00:00:41,404 --> 00:00:43,516 hotel conference room . At that point 18 00:00:43,516 --> 00:00:45,860 in time way , do our deployment brief 19 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,030 our safety brief way deployed 20 00:00:50,030 --> 00:00:53,290 to the scene and multi echelons . I'm 21 00:00:53,290 --> 00:00:55,720 Sergeant Carly Jones with the 63rd CSD 22 00:00:55,730 --> 00:00:59,120 Way were called in to investigate a 23 00:00:59,130 --> 00:01:02,360 possible lab process . So my job as a 24 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,770 survey team member is Thio . Go in with 25 00:01:04,780 --> 00:01:07,870 my teammates and a level a suit and re 26 00:01:07,870 --> 00:01:10,850 kon the area and find out what's going 27 00:01:10,850 --> 00:01:13,072 on in there so that we can really other 28 00:01:13,072 --> 00:01:15,530 information of a level . A suit is the 29 00:01:15,540 --> 00:01:18,380 totally encapsulated um , positive 30 00:01:18,380 --> 00:01:21,980 pressure protective suits . It's PPE . 31 00:01:21,980 --> 00:01:24,202 It's just the safest You could possibly 32 00:01:24,202 --> 00:01:27,390 be . Way do a training mission like 33 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,330 this . We set it up so that it mimics a 34 00:01:31,340 --> 00:01:33,720 real life incident . In that way , 35 00:01:33,740 --> 00:01:35,962 we're prepared . So if we got an actual 36 00:01:35,962 --> 00:01:38,073 call out in the middle of the night , 37 00:01:38,073 --> 00:01:40,490 it wouldn't feel off for us to wake up 38 00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:42,611 and come out and complete our mission 39 00:01:42,611 --> 00:01:45,540 safely . I think some of the benefits 40 00:01:45,550 --> 00:01:47,560 of training all across the country 41 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,660 would be the weather changes . It 42 00:01:50,660 --> 00:01:53,010 really changes how you feel inside of a 43 00:01:53,010 --> 00:01:55,830 suit . It changes how your equipment 44 00:01:55,830 --> 00:01:58,610 works on . I also think it's important 45 00:01:58,620 --> 00:02:00,731 to be able to come out to events like 46 00:02:00,731 --> 00:02:02,787 this and be able to meet other teams 47 00:02:02,787 --> 00:02:04,953 for the instance that we might have to 48 00:02:04,953 --> 00:02:06,731 work with them in a region wide 49 00:02:06,731 --> 00:02:10,060 incident . I feel like CST teams are 50 00:02:10,070 --> 00:02:12,237 inherently competitive with each other 51 00:02:12,540 --> 00:02:14,596 in order for us all to constantly be 52 00:02:14,596 --> 00:02:16,990 improving . I think it's good natured 53 00:02:16,990 --> 00:02:19,101 competitiveness and it's just so that 54 00:02:19,101 --> 00:02:21,770 we can all be better at what we do and 55 00:02:21,780 --> 00:02:23,947 build those relationships and be ready 56 00:02:23,947 --> 00:02:26,169 to step in with each other . Lieutenant 57 00:02:26,169 --> 00:02:28,391 Colonel Karl Bennett , Commander 6 . 30 58 00:02:28,391 --> 00:02:30,391 s team . Being the commander of the 59 00:02:30,391 --> 00:02:32,447 civil support team is very rewarding 60 00:02:32,447 --> 00:02:34,391 and very challenging . The mindset 61 00:02:34,391 --> 00:02:36,558 every member of every CST has toe have 62 00:02:36,558 --> 00:02:38,669 is there will be a day when something 63 00:02:38,669 --> 00:02:38,490 so horrible happens that we will be 64 00:02:38,490 --> 00:02:40,650 relied upon to be the people that 65 00:02:40,650 --> 00:02:43,630 respond coherently quickly and are able 66 00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:46,570 to facilitate their support required to 67 00:02:46,570 --> 00:02:48,640 address , um , events such as that . 68 00:02:48,650 --> 00:02:50,620 And it's the teams that can truly 69 00:02:50,620 --> 00:02:53,270 internalize that and then trained that 70 00:02:53,270 --> 00:02:55,550 way and and try to attain a level of 71 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,860 excellence that makes them the best 72 00:02:57,860 --> 00:03:00,010 that they could be to respond to that .
