Detachment, Fort Benning 04:05.597 --> 04:08.180 - Eglin Air Force Base, Florida 04:08.727 --> 04:11.668 ^- The mission of our school is we take Marines out 04:11.668 --> 04:14.449 ^of the basic school, student naval aviators, 04:14.449 --> 04:17.352 and we train them in the basics of primary flight. 04:17.352 --> 04:21.185 It starts from as simple as systems, avionics. 04:22.010 --> 04:23.994 We teach them basic things about weather. 04:23.994 --> 04:25.345 From there, we'll put them in the aircraft 04:25.345 --> 04:27.221 and its rudimentary basics. 04:27.221 --> 04:29.354 How to maintain altitude, airspeed, heading. 04:29.354 --> 04:31.231 Then we get more and more advanced as we go, 04:31.231 --> 04:34.552 so i.e. instrument flight, formation flying. 04:34.552 --> 04:38.635 Then from here, they select one of four pipelines 04:39.133 --> 04:41.667 to go onto the advanced phase of flight training. 04:41.667 --> 04:44.246 So innovative methods that we use to train the pilots. 04:44.246 --> 04:46.447 It's a combination of both computer-based training, 04:46.447 --> 04:50.523 simulator training, hands-on training in the aircraft. 04:50.523 --> 04:53.196 A lot of time spent in the books, 04:53.196 --> 04:55.464 learning about aircraft systems, emergency procedures, 04:55.464 --> 04:57.297 things of that nature. 04:57.922 --> 05:00.649 The Marine Corps has pilots for the simple fact 05:00.649 --> 05:03.416 of the Marine Air Ground Task Force. 05:03.416 --> 05:04.982 We are a combined unit. 05:04.982 --> 05:07.603 We train together, we deploy together. 05:07.603 --> 05:10.085 In fact, my infantry brethren, I've gone 05:10.085 --> 05:11.827 to the basic school with a lot of those guys. 05:11.827 --> 05:14.514 You develop relationships early on in the training. 05:14.514 --> 05:17.646 We speak a common language, we understand each other. 05:17.646 --> 05:20.130 There's definitely something to when you hear a voice 05:20.130 --> 05:21.818 on a radio and you recognize it, and it's like, 05:21.818 --> 05:23.222 "Hey that was my roommate at the basics school. 05:23.222 --> 05:25.071 "I'm gonna do whatever it takes to get this guy 05:25.071 --> 05:27.404 "whatever support possible." 05:27.974 --> 05:29.723 ^- Mission of our school is to train 05:29.723 --> 05:32.518 ^the best helicopter pilots to go forth 05:32.518 --> 05:35.704 into the fleet and become combat aviators. 05:35.704 --> 05:38.998 The importance of this school is kind of multifaceted. 05:38.998 --> 05:42.602 We are the only naval helicopter training facility 05:42.602 --> 05:43.852 in the country. 05:44.560 --> 05:48.727 We build the bedrock, the foundation of all the skills, 05:49.893 --> 05:53.795 officership, and responsibility in our new aviators 05:53.795 --> 05:56.873 before they go forth and become fleet helicopter pilots. 05:56.873 --> 05:59.316 Marines check in with us following graduation 05:59.316 --> 06:01.018 from primary flight training. 06:01.018 --> 06:03.124 They come to us, they go through several weeks 06:03.124 --> 06:05.624 of rigorous academic training. 06:05.770 --> 06:08.470 We get them into procedural simulators, 06:08.470 --> 06:09.833 and then we take them out and we start flying them 06:09.833 --> 06:10.954 in the aircraft. 06:10.954 --> 06:12.628 Coming out of our school, they go 06:12.628 --> 06:14.424 to the fleet replacement squadrons 06:14.424 --> 06:16.367 to learn their specific platform 06:16.367 --> 06:20.534 and become basic qualified combat helicopter pilots. 06:20.647 --> 06:24.814 In Marine aviation, all of our platforms are ground-centric. 06:25.750 --> 06:27.668 We've got a saying in the skid community. 06:27.668 --> 06:28.977 It's all about line aid. 06:28.977 --> 06:29.949 It's all about the friendlies. 06:29.949 --> 06:31.542 It's all about the people on deck. 06:31.542 --> 06:35.709 That's what we do, we support the Marines on the ground. 06:35.930 --> 06:38.907 ^- Our mission here at Corry Station is to train all services 06:38.907 --> 06:40.754 on the various aspects on intelligence 06:40.754 --> 06:43.415 to include cyber and signals intelligence. 06:43.415 --> 06:45.912 Without this training, our infrastructure 06:45.912 --> 06:50.079 and defenses will be very vulnerable to outside attacks. 06:50.826 --> 06:53.567 The Marines could support other Marines 06:53.567 --> 06:54.620 that are forward deployed. 06:54.620 --> 06:57.036 They information they provide helps save lives 06:57.036 --> 06:59.467 and help the commander achieve their mission. 06:59.467 --> 07:00.886 Of the three schools we teach here, 07:00.886 --> 07:03.127 the only MOS that you can receive is completing 07:03.127 --> 07:07.044 the Joint Cyber Analysis Course, which is 2611. 07:07.054 --> 07:09.687 The return on investment the Marines have throughout 07:09.687 --> 07:12.981 the Marine Corps is bringing knowledgeable expertise 07:12.981 --> 07:17.148 in regards to signals intelligence and cyber intelligence. 07:17.544 --> 07:19.383 ^- The mission in my school is to train 07:19.383 --> 07:22.716 ^the Basic 1812 Marine Corps crewmembers. 07:23.892 --> 07:28.059 The MOS's trained here are 1812 M1A1 Tank Crewman, 07:28.955 --> 07:32.205 2146 Main Battletank Repair Technician. 07:32.808 --> 07:34.306 Our graduates support the MAGTF 07:34.306 --> 07:38.473 by giving the Marine Corps basically the shock effect, 07:38.977 --> 07:42.109 Marine armored support, and also our main mission is 07:42.109 --> 07:44.942 basically to support the infantry. 07:45.052 --> 07:47.604 The innovative methods that we train at this school: 07:47.604 --> 07:48.994 We have classroom work. 07:48.994 --> 07:53.161 We also have hands-on with the tank almost everyday. 07:54.516 --> 07:56.947 We take them to field, they get to actually operate, 07:56.947 --> 07:59.444 drive, and the end of the course they get 07:59.444 --> 08:01.944 to actually fire the main gun. 08:02.643 --> 08:06.221 ^- Points of our school is to train entry-level personnel 08:06.221 --> 08:08.570 in explosive ordinance disposal. 08:08.570 --> 08:11.176 We also do career progression training for individuals 08:11.176 --> 08:13.843 who are already EOD technicians, 08:14.160 --> 08:17.494 as well as training allied foreign military 08:17.494 --> 08:21.301 and other government agencies, other federal agencies. 08:21.301 --> 08:24.183 Specifically for the Marines Corps, it's a 23-36 MOS, 08:24.183 --> 08:27.504 or the explosive ordinance disposal technician. 08:27.504 --> 08:29.395 Our commute is extremely important 08:29.395 --> 08:30.596 to the Marine Corps mission. 08:30.596 --> 08:33.296 We provide the Marine Corps force multipliers, 08:33.296 --> 08:34.200 small unit leaders. 08:34.200 --> 08:36.630 They're intelligent, they're self-driven. 08:36.630 --> 08:39.330 We provide the Marine Corps the ability to operate 08:39.330 --> 08:41.166 with special operations forces, 08:41.166 --> 08:44.339 the ability to operate with other government agencies, 08:44.339 --> 08:46.891 the ability to find any explosive hazard 08:46.891 --> 08:50.819 and mitigate those hazards associated with that explosive 08:50.819 --> 08:54.087 to render them safe, to dispose of them. 08:54.087 --> 08:58.254 We give the Marine Corps, the Marine Air Ground Task Force, 08:58.596 --> 09:02.763 the ability to operate in any type of environment.
