WEBVTT 00:11.569 --> 00:14.140 Freedom flag is a joint and coalition 00:14.149 --> 00:16.750 exercise between us . Uh the United 00:16.760 --> 00:20.350 States Air Force and the Rock Af flying 00:20.540 --> 00:22.762 offensive counter and defensive counter 00:22.762 --> 00:26.239 air missions in and around Korea . It's 00:26.250 --> 00:28.361 important that we are able to train , 00:28.361 --> 00:30.472 especially out here in Korea just due 00:30.472 --> 00:32.417 to the dynamic environment and our 00:32.417 --> 00:34.528 opportunities that we often train and 00:34.528 --> 00:36.139 we plan to fight with them . 00:39.240 --> 00:41.462 It's challenging to move an entire F-35 00:41.462 --> 00:43.684 squadron out here to Korea , especially 00:43.684 --> 00:45.851 for an exercise of this nature . So we 00:45.851 --> 00:47.907 needed a lot of help both from the C 00:47.907 --> 00:50.939 130 community as well as C 12 and other 00:50.950 --> 00:53.172 Marine Corps entities as we pretty much 00:53.172 --> 00:55.283 got everybody out here . We also need 00:55.283 --> 00:57.506 help from the Rock A . We are using one 00:57.506 --> 00:59.506 of their systems to communicate and 00:59.506 --> 01:01.561 then the on base at camp Mu both the 01:01.561 --> 01:03.617 KOC facility as well as other assets 01:12.680 --> 01:14.402 has been a great opportunity , 01:14.402 --> 01:16.730 especially for 242 to be able to come 01:16.739 --> 01:18.906 out here and get to work with a lot of 01:18.906 --> 01:20.961 people that we don't normally get to 01:20.961 --> 01:22.906 see in Iwakuni as well as a lot of 01:22.906 --> 01:22.650 other aircraft , getting to learn their 01:22.660 --> 01:24.882 tactics and figure out how we are going 01:24.882 --> 01:27.029 to operate together and be familiar 01:27.040 --> 01:29.819 with their capabilities and how we are 01:29.830 --> 01:31.830 going to integrate with them as the 01:31.830 --> 01:33.830 F-35s and that are four deployed in 01:33.830 --> 01:35.774 Iwakuni so that we can achieve the 01:35.774 --> 01:35.459 mission .
