19th Construction Engineer Squadron

3
00:00:10,120 --> 00:00:12,130
along with a 103rd Civil Engineer Squadron

4
00:00:12,130 --> 00:00:13,880
worked together at
Bellows Air Force Station

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,320
as part of a Deployment
For Training program.

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,540
The program integrates
various units for projects

7
00:00:18,540 --> 00:00:20,270
to simulate a deployed environment.

8
00:00:20,270 --> 00:00:22,180
Captain Garrett Sykes,
a Construction Engineer

9
00:00:22,180 --> 00:00:25,340
with the Royal Canadian Air
Force describes the partnership.

10
00:00:25,340 --> 00:00:27,290
- The Deployment For Training program

11
00:00:27,290 --> 00:00:28,530
is a really good opportunity

12
00:00:28,530 --> 00:00:31,032
for our men and women in
the Construction Engineers

13
00:00:31,032 --> 00:00:34,720
to do training and
preparation for deployed ops.

14
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,350
We are in a deployed setting

15
00:00:37,350 --> 00:00:40,810
practicing construction troops' tasks

16
00:00:40,810 --> 00:00:44,210
with another unit that we would
likely be integrated with,

17
00:00:44,210 --> 00:00:45,443
when we go overseas.

18
00:00:46,970 --> 00:00:48,730
- Working with the
Canadians has really been

19
00:00:48,730 --> 00:00:51,160
an outstanding opportunity for our airmen,

20
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:53,560
not only to lead but to
be lead by them as well.

21
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:54,900
We've been interacting quite a bit with

22
00:00:54,900 --> 00:00:57,800
the Canadian leadership,
training, executing the projects.

23
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,740
We have the technical skills,

24
00:00:59,740 --> 00:01:01,270
what you get though is more soft skills.

25
00:01:01,270 --> 00:01:02,330
Working with another country

26
00:01:02,330 --> 00:01:03,350
and integrating with you team,

27
00:01:03,350 --> 00:01:04,940
I think is invaluable.
