1
00:00:00,340 --> 00:00:02,800
So the 1/20 engineer battalion is part 

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,967
of the National Guard Reaction force . 

3
00:00:04,967 --> 00:00:07,350
Uh we rotated in the State and it's uh 

4
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,638
it's our turn to be the reaction force , 

5
00:00:09,638 --> 00:00:11,582
we're out here to assist the local 

6
00:00:11,582 --> 00:00:13,804
authorities with right now dealing with 

7
00:00:13,804 --> 00:00:15,693
this uh this illegal drug issue . 

8
00:00:16,340 --> 00:00:20,290
So honestly , I was kind of thinking on 

9
00:00:20,290 --> 00:00:22,234
the way over here , you know , the 

10
00:00:22,234 --> 00:00:24,800
biggest thing for for the Guard is not 

11
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,022
only just to help the state , but to be 

12
00:00:27,022 --> 00:00:28,967
assistance to all the , you know , 

13
00:00:28,967 --> 00:00:32,050
other local agencies , oh bien you know , 

14
00:00:32,050 --> 00:00:36,030
hp all those guys so to be able to 

15
00:00:36,030 --> 00:00:38,141
come out and do this is not something 

16
00:00:38,141 --> 00:00:40,308
we're going to do every day , but also 

17
00:00:40,308 --> 00:00:42,252
we have the strength . We have the 

18
00:00:42,252 --> 00:00:44,419
manpower . No , you know , those other 

19
00:00:44,419 --> 00:00:46,641
agencies , they don't have the manpower 

20
00:00:46,641 --> 00:00:48,697
for facilities as big as this one to 

21
00:00:48,697 --> 00:00:50,752
come out and clean it out and try to 

22
00:00:50,752 --> 00:00:53,086
get it done in a timely manner to where , 

23
00:00:53,086 --> 00:00:52,790
you know , our our goal is to have this 

24
00:00:52,790 --> 00:00:54,790
done probably in the next couple of 

25
00:00:54,790 --> 00:00:57,068
hours and then move on to the next one , 

26
00:00:57,068 --> 00:00:59,179
you know ? So I've been in the garden 

27
00:00:59,179 --> 00:01:01,346
out , well , I've been in the services 

28
00:01:01,346 --> 00:01:04,950
For just over 13 years . I've done too 

29
00:01:04,950 --> 00:01:07,140
sad too sad missions have been in the 

30
00:01:07,140 --> 00:01:10,510
guard for I think 10 roughly now . Um 

31
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,990
and the first one was to IDa and then 

32
00:01:12,990 --> 00:01:15,750
now this , so uh in their aspect of a 

33
00:01:15,750 --> 00:01:17,861
young soldier , you know , getting to 

34
00:01:17,861 --> 00:01:20,083
do something like this , it's it's once 

35
00:01:20,083 --> 00:01:22,194
in a lifetime deal , you're not gonna 

36
00:01:22,194 --> 00:01:24,528
do the same thing every time you go out , 

37
00:01:24,528 --> 00:01:27,600
I'm super proud of these soldiers . 

38
00:01:27,610 --> 00:01:29,860
They've done a great job and it's still 

39
00:01:29,860 --> 00:01:32,082
