1
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 1: Good evening, America, Happy Friday, Welcome to the end of

2
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: the week. In the latest edition of justin News, no Noise,

3
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Solomon here in Washington. A lot

4
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: of headlines, you can go check them out at justin

5
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: News today. But I want to just give a little

6
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: bit sometimes stepping back and understanding the impact of changes

7
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: best on in numbers. I just want to throw a

8
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: couple numbers out at you. Twenty number of percentage points

9
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: that violent murders went down last year in America.

10
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: To the number of dollars.

11
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: At a price of eggs went down since last year.

12
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: Another one that's important. Four hundred and thirty five the

13
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: number of Jihati terrorists that have been killed in the

14
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: first year President Trump, which is more than the entire

15
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: four years of the Trump of the Biden presidency. And

16
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you another number because I think

17
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: it's the next big number to come out of the administration.

18
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: Two thousand the number of dollars at President Trump would

19
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: like to get back to each family from his tariffs.

20
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: It is hard to appreciate on one year and a

21
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: week from the return of Donald Trump to the White House,

22
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: how much has changed Amanda, it is. There's another number twelve,

23
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: the number of budget builds at the house finally got done.

24
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: We haven't seen that in two decades. You were probably

25
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: in grammar school the last time we did it, right,

26
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:35,279
Speaker 1: so you know.

27
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 3: How to build a budget. I love it.

28
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, John, You know, it's not just the numbers that

29
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 4: have shifted. There's also a sentiment that has shifted. And today,

30
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 4: I think is a perfect example. The march March for

31
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 4: Life happening this week throughout the city, and the just

32
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 4: the joyful nature of people who came to this. You know,

33
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 4: in years past, when Joe Biden was in office, you

34
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 4: could feel the direness of the situation. Even though last

35
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 4: year Rob Wade had already been overturned, people are still

36
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 4: consistently battling in that fight to protect life. But this year,

37
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 4: you know, as we've seen these events happening throughout the

38
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 4: week and culminating on Sunday, as we were talking about

39
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 4: last night with Frank Pavone, the fact that you've got

40
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 4: to merch for life happening in San Francisco. I mean,

41
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 4: it's just incredible to see that, and it to me,

42
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 4: it reflects a shift in sentiment in this country, even

43
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 4: though you don't necessarily see it in some of these

44
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 4: flashpoints like Minnesota. Over overall, I think that Americans are

45
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 4: feeling a lot better. And it's by the numbers too.

46
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, gonna put you on the spot. I'm

47
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: going to ask you to come up with a number.

48
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: The number of inches of snow Washington's going to get

49
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: this weekend.

50
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 2: Everybody's getting well this weekend. Maybe in Alabama my gets though.

51
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 5: I don't know.

52
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 4: Eight and a half.

53
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 6: It half is like a number.

54
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: I like that. I'm going to go. I'm going to

55
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 2: go for thirteen.

56
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 7: Oh, I'm big, Go big, or go home?

57
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: All right, you know that's what Congress did.

58
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 1: Uh, It went home finally for the first time in

59
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: two decades by passing all of the budget bills. Sending

60
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: the Senate sets up a good situation for the American

61
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: teeth and by the way, some reductions is. We had

62
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: a chance before Congress left town to talk to Congress.

63
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: Women from the great state of Iowa married at Miller Meeks.

64
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: She was one of the advocates of getting those budget

65
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: bills done. She was frustrated for years not anymore.

66
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 6: Have a watch.

67
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: Well, we talked about all right joining us now to

68
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: talk about the extraordinary change in Congress. Yes, we got

69
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: twelve budget bills through the processes. Here we're going to

70
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: have a real budget process for the first time in

71
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: about two decades. Congresswomen for the Great State of Iowa

72
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: married Att Miller Meeks.

73
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 8: Congress Women.

74
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 6: Great to have you on the show.

75
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 9: It's great to be with you at Amanda.

76
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: I know it sounds like a lame, sort of bureaucratic

77
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: term regular order budgeting, but it's so important for the

78
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: American people to know what's in their budgets, that each

79
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: of them get reviewed the right way, and that we

80
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: get to priorities that match what they voted for. This time,

81
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: Congress got it done.

82
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 9: Absolutely. It's a first time in decades that we have

83
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 9: passed twelve single committee appropriations bills. They have Republican priorities

84
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 9: and Republican policies. Of course, there's compromise because we don't

85
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 9: have supermajorities, but I think it's most important to know.

86
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 9: This is not passing the Biden budget from before and

87
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 9: putting in new spending levels. And what's important about that

88
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 9: is that you know your budget reflects the priorities that

89
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 9: you have going forward, and you can't peer down spending

90
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 9: or spend in an appropriate manner if you don't go

91
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 9: through this. So regular order means it went you know,

92
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 9: members visited with their constituents, It went through the appropriations

93
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 9: process at the subcommittee level, at the committee level, then

94
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 9: passed through the House discussion through rules, and so that

95
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 9: regular order is very important. It was a transparent process,

96
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 9: so people know what is in the budget, know what

97
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 9: they're voting for. And I think it is a very

98
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 9: important milestone, something that we have been trying to achieve

99
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 9: long before I came into Congress, but we finally have

100
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 9: done it, and this bill that we vote on tonight

101
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 9: will be I think bipartisan again. I predicted that we

102
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 9: would in fact pass all twelve, do it before January thirtieth,

103
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 9: and then next week when the Senate comes back, it'll

104
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 9: be voted on in the Senate.

105
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 4: Right well, And as John alluded to, I mean this

106
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 4: is a historic accomplishment because it's been a long time

107
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 4: since Republicans or Democrats have been able to do this.

108
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 4: Does this effectively make it shut down proof so we

109
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 4: don't have to worry about that?

110
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 9: Yes, it looks like that with the passage of these

111
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 9: last appropriation bills. So these are the last four that

112
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 9: we've been able to usher through the last week, at

113
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 9: least in the last week in the House. It will

114
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,239
Speaker 9: go to the Senate and then go to the President's desk,

115
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 9: and so the government will be.

116
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 6: We're interrupting this program for a special live report.

117
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 8: Okay, good afternoon. We're breaking into our regular schedule program

118
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 8: with Just the.

119
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 7: News to bring you extended cover today of a special

120
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 7: event happening right now at Fort Bragg in North Carolina.

121
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 10: That's where ravs Own David Zr. Is live on the

122
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 10: ground to give us a complete report.

123
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 11: David, give us an idea of this ceremony that you're

124
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 11: at right now and really how it empowers division of

125
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 11: President Trump's America First agenda when it comes to our military.

126
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's very important, Brian, and we've been criss crossing

127
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 12: the state all week, starting with the Freedom to fifty

128
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 12: event in Summerfield a few days ago and following the

129
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 12: Senate race here, but also we're at Fort Bragg, our

130
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 12: nation's largest military base here where we're here for the

131
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 12: Joint Innovation Operations Center. It's called the Lieutenant General James

132
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 12: Gavin Joint Innovation Center here Fort Bragg to help deliver

133
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 12: systems to wife warfighters at a breakneck pace. And General

134
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 12: James Gavin was a paratrooper attached to a third brigade

135
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 12: and was the youngest leader of the eighteenth Airborne Corps,

136
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 12: which is based out of here along with the eighty

137
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 12: second airbor He was only thirty seven years old after.

138
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 13: He took control after World War II.

139
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 12: Served in Europe in World War Two. But this falls

140
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 12: in line brian with Trump's Defense Acquisitions Executive Order that

141
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 12: was codified by the National Defense Authorization Act, and goes

142
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 12: in line with the Pentagon's recent announcements for the new

143
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 12: Naval Rapid Capabilities Office, the Army Capabilities Office Rapid Capabilities

144
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 12: which started about a decade before, along with the Air

145
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 12: Force which started, I believe in the early two thousands.

146
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 12: But this is a system here where troops can compete

147
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 12: in a competition called Dragon's Lair getting things to the battlefield.

148
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 12: I just got a demonstration from some airborne. These guys

149
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 12: are the best. They talked about this little drone. They

150
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 12: showed me. This drone that packs up into a little case,

151
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 12: attaches to paratroopers and when they land on the ground.

152
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 12: They're able to get aerial reconnaissance off the ground immediately

153
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 12: before you know, the enemy even knows they're there. So

154
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 12: this again falls in line with what's going on here

155
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 12: getting systems at speed and scale. And we're going to

156
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 12: do a one on one interview with the officer in

157
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 12: charge here when we're don Colonel Monaghan, who runs the

158
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 12: Joint Innovation Center here. Really a great moment for America

159
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 12: and our military.

160
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, Prisident Trump often talks about rebuilding the military. We've

161
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 8: seen what has happened over the over the years, not

162
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 8: just in the woke policies, but in the investments of

163
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 8: the technology. And David, you you kind of spoke of

164
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 8: it earlier. The technology in the field has been so

165
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 8: innovating that you've got to able to.

166
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 10: Take an idea to the lab, get it tested, get

167
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 10: it produced, and on the battlefield as soon as possible.

168
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 10: Not only not only does that make us technologically the

169
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 10: most advanced military in the world, but you know, David,

170
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 10: it can save lives as well.

171
00:08:59,160 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 6: Yeah.

172
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 12: Well, the key to this is cooperation with private industry.

173
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 12: Like we had ship os from Palenteer. It's going to

174
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 12: build shipped faster in partnership with the private sector, as

175
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 12: the NAVID Wrapper Capabilities Office announced, and they're going to

176
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 12: do the same thing here. A lot of North Carolina

177
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 12: defense systems here and they're building products and they're doing

178
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 12: a cooperation with like Duke University and academia to put

179
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 12: the greatest minds at work to face emerging real time

180
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 12: threats around the globe.

181
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 10: Brian, Yeah, real time threats that need real time in

182
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 10: the best technology available.

183
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 14: So give us an idea. Who is set to speak

184
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 14: today at this event. I know you mentioned an individual

185
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 14: that you'll get a one on one with later, but

186
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 14: who else is on on tamped on this very special occasion.

187
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 12: Well, we're going to hear from Lieutenant General Gregory Anderson,

188
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 12: who is the eighteenth Airborne Corps commanding General. You know,

189
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 12: there's about two hundred thousand people involved with Fort Braddown here.

190
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 12: This place is massive here, and we're going to capture

191
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 12: visuals of the programs here at the Joint Innovation Center.

192
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 12: There'll be a couple of other speakers here, but again

193
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 12: we're going to get some one on one FaceTime with

194
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 12: the officers here. And everybody's been so accommodating here and

195
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 12: I'm talking to the soldiers on the ground who are

196
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 12: working personally on these products, and this Dragon's Layer competition

197
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 12: is really cool. These guys have a competition coming up.

198
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 12: I believe in may or June, where they're developing all

199
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 12: kinds of things. I just saw a housing that acts,

200
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 12: as you know, protection for electronic signals and it was

201
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 12: a simple plastic housing where they can house these sensitive

202
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 12: communication devices but still communicate with each other in the field.

203
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 12: The enemy can't penetrate it. And that was developed, you know,

204
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 12: here on the ground. I believe in North Carolina in

205
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 12: concert with the eighteenth Airborne.

206
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 15: You know, as you travel around you mentioned that that

207
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 15: celebrate two point fifty. It's been an ongoing, really celebration

208
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 15: that started last year. We had the big military parade

209
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 15: which respect Tackler there and our nation's capital. And as

210
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 15: we have these events around the country, what are you

211
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 15: hearing some of the feedback from the people you meet

212
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 15: out on Main Street, USA in regards to not only

213
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 15: the celebration but our military being you know, stronger than ever.

214
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,119
Speaker 15: What's some of the feedback you've gotten from everyday Americans.

215
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 12: Well, it's great, especially here in North Carolina. So we

216
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 12: were at the Revolution Academy, a K through ninth school,

217
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 12: where these kids got to tour one of these six

218
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 12: mobile museum Freedom trucks that were built right here by

219
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 12: Spevco in North Carolina. And they did a kickoff tour

220
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 12: the other day with Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy and

221
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 12: Keith Sondling, the Under Secretary of Labor, along with Hillsdale

222
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 12: College and Prager. You kids and I interviewed these kids

223
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 12: k through eight. It's on breaking point tomorrow. They are

224
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 12: just phenomenal. They're learning about a founding fathers and our history.

225
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 12: You know, unlike the Minnesota school district, we gave the

226
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 12: kids off so they grow up Trump and hating Ice

227
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 12: so they could go protest. You know, there's a lot

228
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 12: of patriotism on the ground here and it's really nice

229
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 12: to see. And the parents who send their kids to

230
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 12: the school were excited, and some of them had spouses

231
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 12: who were deployed overseas and wanted to get them into

232
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 12: a private charter school where they learn about family and values.

233
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 12: And we were on the ground last week with Scott

234
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 12: Besson in Minnesota at a local Catholic school K through twelve,

235
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 12: and he talked to them about financial responsibility and starting

236
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 12: investing in a young age. And they also do that

237
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 12: at this place, the Revolutionary Academy in Summerfield, where the

238
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 12: kickoff of this mobile museum tour. So there's like an

239
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 12: emergence of some patriotism, accountability for the future, and maybe

240
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 12: some hope got to keep it alive.

241
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, considerating we got to keep it alive.

242
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 16: It's interesting how the enrollment for across all branches of

243
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 16: our military it's off. As soon as President Trump took

244
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 16: all of this and as soon as Pete Headsex, Secretary

245
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 16: of War got in place. They have really brought the

246
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 16: spirit of America back to the youth wanting to serve

247
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 16: our country. And I think that is so important, especially

248
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 16: when you look at an event like today in terms

249
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 16: of how it can bring the best technology to the battlefield.

250
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 12: There's no doubt about that.

251
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 2: And recruitment levels are up.

252
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 12: You know, we covered the Army Parade in DC and

253
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 12: from that point on, you know, that was a recruitment

254
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 12: event as well, right to get people interested in serving

255
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 12: their country again.

256
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 2: Recruitment levels have been through the.

257
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 12: Roof and it's nice to see and they're getting rid

258
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 12: of the DEI and the other stuff that's been a distraction,

259
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 12: and Pete Hegset is leading the charge under Trump's again

260
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 12: Defense Acquisition Executive Order that wants to deliver stuff at

261
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 12: speed and scale and partnership with private industry so we

262
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 12: can face these real time threats. We're a very threatening

263
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 12: environment out there, and we need to be rapid deployment

264
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 12: and global so we don't get stuck in long term quagmires.

265
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 6: There you go.

266

276
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 10: now on what we just saw in Davos. President Trump

277
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 10: delivering a very much America first message.

278
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 8: I often said David that he.

279
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 17: Kicked over the apple cart on the old world order,

280
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,960

281
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 17: as a new world order.

282
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 8: Your take on.

283
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 13: That, yeah, and it's it's a new era, and especially

284
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 13: in Greenland with the Golden Dome systems that I might

00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 18: And we've got some other guests here, but we're gonna

312
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 18: pause right here on Miss Chloe Gavin, the daughter of

313
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 18: General James Gavin, and not just this outpost here, but

314
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 18: the word by her father and what he meant to

315
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 18: the airborne community in World War Two and kind of

316
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 18: how we're moving forward with his kind of warrior spirit, determination,

317
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 18: tenacity to make changes and to do things better and

318
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 18: more efficiently. Chloe, please come up, if you would, please.

319
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:49,239
Speaker 15: Thank you.

320
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 3: I was here in November twenty five and it's a

321
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 3: great pleasure.

322
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 2: To be no.

323
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 3: November twenty four, excuse me, And it's a great pleasure

324
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 3: to be here, and I'm really looking forward to going

325
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 3: upstairs or walking around and seeing all the projects that

326
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 3: are underway here. On behalf of the Gavin family, I

327
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 3: want to thank you for naming this innovation post after

328
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 3: my father. Most of you know him as an outstanding

329
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 3: combat leader, but when he joined the Airborne it was

330
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 3: completely new, new and everything they did had to be

331
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 3: figured out and made up. He also, after the war,

332
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 3: was a head of research and development the Pentagon and

333
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 3: was instrumental in having the Army Develops program. He pushed

334
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 3: for the use of helicopters to create mobile troop movements,

335
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 3: and after he retired from the Army, he led a

336
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,959
Speaker 3: scientific research and management consulting firm in Cambridge, mass and

337
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 3: continued to be interested and involved in research and development

338
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 3: for the rest of his life. He would be beyond

339
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 3: thrilled to see what's going on here, and I know

340
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 3: he is happy where he is and very pleased, and

341
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 3: the whole Gavin family says thank you for opening this

342
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 3: post in his name.

343
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 2: Thank you.

344
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 18: So we also have a lot of academic partners in

345
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 18: here tonight. It would be very very much involved and

346
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 18: integrated here into the work that's done so for Chancell

347
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 18: Allison from Fayfield State. Sure, thank you for coming, sir.

348
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 18: We also have doctor Mark Sorels from Fayetteville Tech. I

349
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 18: don't know if he's able to get in here, Okay,

350
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 18: he may be coming later. And then we also have

351
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 18: reps from UNC Charlotte Chapel, Hill Duke, the United States

352
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,479
Speaker 18: Military Academy at West Point, and Campbell University. So teams,

353
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 18: thank you for coming. Last person I'd like to introduce

354
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 18: is the brains behind the design of this and one

355
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 18: of our architects here at the garrison at Fort.

356
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 2: Bragg is Ingrid.

357
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 18: Are you here, ma'am Ingrid Fullerton? Please come on up, Okay.

358
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 18: To kind of get us in the mode here with

359
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 18: my comments on and kind of what this place means

360
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 18: and how we're going to approach business, we'll start with

361
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 18: some quote in Albert Einstein. There's a lot of good

362
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 18: quotes from Albert Einstein, but of my favorites is you

363
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 18: can't solve your problems using the same thinking you use

364
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,239
Speaker 18: to create your problems. And so that's step one. It's

365
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 18: going to kind of govern how we do business here.

366
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 18: The other one, which sets the tone for why are

367
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 18: we so excited about innovation. Everybody's familiar with the Darwin's

368
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 18: you know law of natural selection, right it's not the

369
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 18: strongest species that survives, it's the one that adapts the

370
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 18: most quickly. Most ably, there's the ones that survive the

371
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 18: strongest right now, But we can't sit on our laurels.

372
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 18: The environments now technology orders of magnitude right now in

373
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 18: a pace, at a pace that few of us are

374
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 18: having trouble or most of us are having trouble keeping

375
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 18: up with the global security environment is signaling us right

376
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 18: now with the conflicts worldwide and seeing the advances in

377
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,479
Speaker 18: proliferation of technology and how others are using them on

378
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 18: the battlefield. So we're getting all the signals we need

379
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 18: to kind of get the wake up call we better

380
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 18: start innovating, continue innovating at speed, at scale and across

381
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 18: all the echelons in the Joint Force. And that's what

382
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 18: this place is about here in the Joint Innovation outpost.

383
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 18: Innovation is not a buzzword, it's not a new idea.

384
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 18: Just like you heard Chloe Gavin describing how her father

385
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 18: helped not just during the war, but what the work

386
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 18: he did after the war is because innovation is central

387
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 18: to the military profession. Those who innovate better than others win,

388
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 18: and history is replete with examples of that. The one,

389
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 18: the one that comes to my mind when you look

390
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 18: at right before World War Two, the innovation that was

391
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 18: going on between the French and the Germans. They both

392
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 18: had tanks, they both had large armies, artillery, all that stuff.

393
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,439
Speaker 18: The French decided and actually the French had more and

394
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 18: better tanks by quality as you rate a tank. The

395
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 18: Germans had a problem to solve, and so they organized

396
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 18: their tanks differently. But what they did is they put radios.

397
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 6: In their tanks.

398
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 18: The French did not, and they learned how to communicate

399
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 18: infor and move information rapidly and faster than their opponent.

400
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 18: And then they were more agile and they could adapt

401
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 18: the changes on the battlefield more quickly. Simple innovation. Put

402
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 18: a radio in a tank and then learn how to

403
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 18: it changed an outcome of a nation. And so innovation

404
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 18: matters at every level, and it takes a whole team

405
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 18: to do it. There's no magic innovation wizard that's going

406
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 18: to come and sprinkle, you know, success on us. It's

407
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 18: hard work, it's thinking, it's grit and that's what this

408
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 18: place is designed to do.

409
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 2: In the set up to do.

410
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 18: Eighteenth theirborne core, where the global contingency response for US

411
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 18: for the United States, we know we will deploy with

412
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 18: little to no warning, and we've got people standing up

413
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 18: right now on twelve to twelve hour reaction time to

414
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,360
Speaker 18: deploy wherever we needed to go, and we don't even

415
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 18: know what would be. In many cases, we won't know

416
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 18: what we're going into. So that's what why we have

417
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 18: an urgency for innovation. We can't wait for industry to

418
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 18: take five years with acquisition processes and regulations to come

419
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 18: out with something maybe in five years will get There's

420
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 18: a lot's going to happen between now in those five years,

421
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 18: and we can't wait, and we can't wait for the

422
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 18: speed of our current systems. The idea for this innovation

423
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 18: outposting the culture that's inherent within the eighteenth cour started

424
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 18: with the General Carilla talking about twenty twenty. He saw

425
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 18: how soldiers we're gonna need new equipment for the transition

426
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 18: as we transition out of Iraq and Afghanistan to what

427
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 18: lay ahead and what still lies ahead for us. He

428
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 18: saw that we were gonna have to solve a lot

429
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,959
Speaker 18: of our own problems and put put the innovation spirit

430
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 18: of paratroopers and soldiers.

431
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 2: All round ranks and levels.

432
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 18: And to put that that energy and that enthusiasm, that

433
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 18: engine that dragon's lair piece there is that you saw

434
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,959
Speaker 18: coming in the entry and his creation and he got this,

435
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 18: He got this building started General Donna Whuo kept it

436
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 18: up obviously a ton of innovation and data centric warfare

437
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 18: using AI and live data and algorithms to be able

438
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 18: to see and make to see the see the situation

439
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 18: more clearly and make decisions faster than the enemy. What

440
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 18: he did was akin to putting radios and tanks. And

441
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 18: so he kept up. And so we've had we've had

442
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 18: some momentum here. I don't know what I'm going to bring.

443
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 2: To to to this piece, but.

444
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 18: I'll tell you we're bringing. We're bringing a campaign plan

445
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 18: and a direction. Uh and we're out three or four

446
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 18: years in the innovation tasks that we're going after, and

447
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 18: you'll get a you'll get a sense of that tonight.

448
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 18: It's planned out now. Another famous quote Frabe Lincoln in

449
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 18: my favorite. If you want to predict the future, ventet

450
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 18: make it. And that's here on the innovation side, and

451
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 18: we're pretty excited. Well, so we have this plan.

452
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 6: Fighter in the.

453
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 18: ASALT team come down. We invite them in one of

454
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 18: our core leader forums and we show them my guys

455
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 18: have a plan to innovate and they're out on a

456
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 18: longer time horizon.

457
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 2: There are a couple of years out. This is awesome.

458
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 18: Can we come bring our acquisition can processes and expertise?

459
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 18: Piece are contracting mechanisms and kind of our authorities requirements

460
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 18: to fielding. It's actually fielding into the formations and we're like,

461
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 18: what a partnership. How fast can you get here? How

462
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 18: about next month? I think it was about a month.

463
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,480

475
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:05,359

476
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 18: the eighteenth Cores, North Carolina academics, in North Carolina industry,

477
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 18: and we're going to make the Army and the Joint

478
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 18: Force better. It's it's it's already happened. It's actually already happening.

479
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 18: It's been happening for a few few months now, and

480
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 18: it's we're about to pour gas on it. The whole

481
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 18: thing is our people are our greatest strength, and there's

482
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,959
Speaker 18: not even a close second, and we haven't harnessed them right,

483
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 18: We're gonna do it now and unleashed that potential. And

484
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 18: it is very, very exciting to see what this innovation

485
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 18: ecosystem here in North Carolina is going to do. There's

486
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 18: no better proving ground to get this work done in

487
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 18: Fort Bragg. So team, come join us.

488
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 2: Let's get this started.

489
00:28:50,400 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 6: Airborne all the way. Thanks thanks Kevin.

490
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 19: Today, mark's the pivotal moment for Fort Bragg, eighteenth Irwin

491
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 19: Corps and the State of North Carolina. Governor Josh Stein

492
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 19: was unable to join us this evening, but in recognition

493
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 19: of this historic event to share this message.

494
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 2: Good evening. I'm Josh Governor.

495
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 20: I want to say thank you to Lieutenant General Anderson

496
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 20: and US Representative Richard Hudson for your words this evening,

497
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 20: and I want to congratulate everyone on the opening of

498
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 20: the Joint Innovation Outpost. North Kana is proud of our

499
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,719
Speaker 20: strong ties to the military. We're home to more than

500
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 20: ninety thousand active duty military personnel, the fourth most of

501
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 20: any state in the country, and Fort Bragg is the

502
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 20: most populated military base in this country. Making the choice

503
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 20: to serve in the military is a sacrifice. You all

504
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 20: have stepped up for all of us, which is why

505
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 20: our state is committed to stepping up for you. Over

506
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 20: the past year, we're interrupting this the law four different

507
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 20: bills that help military spouses more easily transition into new

508
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 20: jobs and communities, aid military parents enrolling their kids in

509
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 20: public school, and help military students afford tuition. Because when

510
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 20: you all succeed, we all succeed. We can't keep using

511
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 20: the same script for how we respond.

512
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 2: To modern challenges.

513
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 20: We have to constantly adapt. At the state level. I'm

514
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 20: proud of our whole of government approach to supporting service

515
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 20: members and veterans, and with that same spirit, I applaud

516
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 20: the creators of the Joint Innovation Outpost. The Outpost represents

517
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 20: exactly the kind of forward thinking partnership that we need

518
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 20: to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow. You're bringing

519
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 20: together military leaders, researchers, engineers, and entrepreneurs. You're giving experts

520
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 20: at place to ask mission critical questions and receive differing perspectives,

521
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 20: and you're bridging between cutting edge technology and real world

522
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 20: operational needs. I believe that this Innovation Outpost will solidify

523
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 20: North Carolina's place at the forefront of military services, technology

524
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 20: and innovation. So I congratulate all of you again on

525
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 20: today's launch. Now to see that history brought to us

526
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 20: at this moment and the mission of the Joint Innovation

527
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 20: Outpost in action, let's take a look at the special presentation.

528
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 21: Major General James Gavin, thirty eight year old West Pointer

529
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 21: and youngest division commander of the US Army, stands by.

530
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 6: With you are waiting for his division's last age hour

531
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 6: in World War Two.

532
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 22: Historically, the US Army has prevailed because of leaders willing

533
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 22: to rethink how we operate to move faster than the adversary.

534
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,959
Speaker 22: No leader embodied that mindset better than Lieutenant General James Gavin.

535
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 22: As a young commander in World War Two, Gavin reshaped

536
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 22: airborne warfare. He rejected rigid thinking, trusted initiative at the

537
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 22: lowest levels, and demanded adaptability in the face of uncertainty.

538
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 22: As the jumping general he led from the front, parachuting

539
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 22: in the combat alongside his paratroopers. Gavin understood that victory

540
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 22: belonged to those who anticipated change, embraced new technology, and

541
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 22: empowered soldiers to innovate under pressure. His legacy is not

542
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 22: just courage, but unyielding forward thinking. That same spirit inspired

543
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 22: the Lieutenant General James Gavin Joint Innovation Outpost the GIOP

544
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 22: is a joint force hub designed to move innovation at

545
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 22: operational speed. It connects warfighters, industry, and academia to solve

546
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 22: real problems where friction beats reality. Here, emerging technologies like AI, robotics,

547
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 22: cyber capabilities, and advanced logistics are rapidly prototyped, tested and

548
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 22: pushed forward.

549
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 8: The focus is to shorten.

550
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 22: The distance from idea to impact by integrating division innovation

551
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 22: labs in linking warfighters directly with acquisition partners. This is

552
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 22: how the GIAP will turn off racial insight into decisive capability,

553
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,959
Speaker 22: and this is how we honor Gavin's legacy by staying

554
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 22: ahead of the fight. Welcome to the Lieutenant General James

555
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,120

Speaker 19: advocates for Ford Bragg, including the Giant. We are honored

Speaker 23: to earn it every single day. But I'm just thrilled

Speaker 23: I did a little reading up on him. You know,

616
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 23: we know jumping Jim, We know he's he's the man.

617
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 23: This guy's a legend.

618
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 6: Uh.

619
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 23: You know, not only the youngest person ever commanded, but

620
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 23: I think he's still the only general officer to do

621
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 23: four combat jumps.

622
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 6: I mean that's pretty awesome.

623
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 23: But his legacy as as an innovator, uh, you know,

624
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 23: as head of research and development for the army after

625
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 23: World War Two, the things that you talked.

626
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 6: About, the things in the video, you know, he really believed.

627
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 23: In this idea of of continuing to innovate, continue to advance.

628
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,399
Speaker 23: You know, as Joan Anderson said, you know, we don't

629
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 23: ever want our guys in a fair fight, our guys

630
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 23: and gals, we don't ever want them in a fair fight.

631
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 23: We want to always have that edge, and this center

632
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 23: is going to make sure that's the case. You know,

633
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 23: four Bragg has always been a place where standards are

634
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:23,320
Speaker 23: high and commitment to mission is absolute. But fundamentally this

635
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 23: submission is ability for men and women here to innovate

636
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 23: and adapt and to meet the challenges of the day.

637
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 23: When a problem shows up in a training or a deployment,

638
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 23: you need a solution that works, and you need it fast.

639
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 23: And that's what this Joint Innovation Outpost is all about.

640
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 18: Uh.

641
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 23: This outpost is a commitment to shorten the distance between

642
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 23: a soldier's need and a real capability that we can

643
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 23: reach them in the field. It's soldiers feedback turned into

644
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 23: improvements that are tested, refined, and delivered quickly. That's what

645
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 23: it's all about. And what makes this model especially powerful

646
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 23: is it puts the right people together in one place,

647
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 23: the warfighters, the acquisition leaders, the industry partners, the researchers.

648
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 23: It removes barriers, It shortens timelines and helps close the

649
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 23: capabilities gap before they become a risk on the battlefield.

650
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 23: And that's really what it's all about, is how do

651
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 23: we buy down those risks. The character warfare has changed.

652
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 23: It's changing every day, things like unmanned systems, artificial intelligence,

653
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 23: quantum computers. It's becoming a defining feature of the modern conflict.

654
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 23: And I'm proud that Fort Bragg is leading the charge

655
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 23: in this new space because frankly, our men and women

656
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 23: here are going to be the ones leading as the

657
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 23: tip of the spear, and so let's make sure we're

658
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 23: the ones leading with the innovation as well. You know,

659
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 23: the job also strengthens the culture of innovation across the

660
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 23: entire force. Programs like Dragon's Layer give service members a

661
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 23: platform to pitch solutions from the field. Promoting programs like

662
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 23: this and empowering warfighters to innovate is how you build

663
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 23: an army that adapts faster than our adversaries and washing

664
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 23: it's my job to make sure Fort Brag has what

665
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:13,919
Speaker 23: it needs to stay ready to get the job done.

666
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,800
Speaker 23: That includes supporting programs that move at the speed of

667
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 23: the mission. That includes security, millions of dollars for renovation programs,

668
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 23: infrastructure upgrades here for you might have seen. Congress got

669
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,439
Speaker 23: their work done this week. I think for the first

670
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 23: time since two thousand and six, we actually passed our

671
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 23: spending bills a little late, but done, and getting that

672
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 23: defensive bill done this week was really important. We delivered

673
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 23: another three point that's good. I feel kind of sheepish

674
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 23: saying three point eight, all right, It ought to be

675
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 23: thirty point eight, but we're continuing to chip away and

676
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 23: having a consistent pay raise every year is important, and

677
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 23: we provided billions of dollars to support innovation in the

678
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 23: defense probes. And it's all about what can we do

679
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 23: to improve, what can we do to innovate, and what

680
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 23: can we do support the quality of life for our

681
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 23: men and women UH and their families.

682
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 11: UH.

683
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 23: The package we passed this week ensures our military remains

684
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 23: the lethal in the world and that our soldiers have.

685
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 6: The equipment, training, and support they need. So tonight I

686
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 6: just want to say thank you.

687
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 23: Thank you to the leaders who push this forward, thank

688
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 23: you to the partners who investing your time and your expertise,

689
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,440

690
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 23: their families here at the center of the universe.

00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:36,479
Speaker 6: And for Bragg.

692
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 23: You know, this installation is already the most important place

693
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 23: in the United States Army in my opinion, but with

694
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 23: the the Joint Innovation Outpost, it becomes an even stronger

695
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 23: engine for the next generation of capability and turnrance. So

696
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,279

757
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 5: has the potential to improve AI enabled assessments our adversaries

758
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 5: and has the potential to expand the leading edge training

759

Speaker 21: Fabell Technical Community College, to have great partners like State University,

786
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 21: and great supporters from the county, the state of North Carolina.

787
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 21: I see Representative Wheatley here as well as from our

788
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:47,919
Speaker 21: federal government, and we're excited to be here to help

789
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 21: out and talk to you a little bit about how

790
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 21: Failedle Tech has partnered with the eighteenth Airborne America's Contingency

791
00:48:55,760 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 21: Corps and the tip of the spear for our nation's

792
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:05,800
Speaker 21: rapid response capability. At partnership with the Core as a

793
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 21: force multiplier. Together, we're building capabilities that enhance readiness on

794
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 21: the battlefield and resilience here at home.

795
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 6: Our mission is.

796
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 21: Simple, provide the talent, technology and training that strengthen the

797
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 21: war fighter and support the community that sustains this installation.

798
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 21: One of the clearest examples of that partnership is the

799
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 21: work we did with the eighteenth Airborne on Project Pathfinder

800
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 21: students directly supporting the core's intelligence enterprise by conducting data

801
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:49,919
Speaker 21: labeling operations to help train an aisystem capable of identifying

802
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 21: intelligence indicators from geospatial imagery. This wasn't theoretical work, it

803
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 21: was real world ISR support that improves targeting speeds, decision

804
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:12,320
Speaker 21: making cycles, and enhanced situational awareness for soldiers downrange. We

805
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 21: are applying that same operational mindset to the cyber domain,

806
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 21: today's contested battle space. Through the Carolina Cyber Network, Favele

807
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 21: Tech is developing a highly skilled cyber workforce capable of

808
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 21: defending our community, our state, and our nation. Our partnership

809
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 21: with the North Carolina Department of Information Technology places students

810
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,800
Speaker 21: in your long rotations. Many of them sixty five percent

811
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 21: of the students in that particular program are veterans, are

812
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 21: military dependents. Right now, we have nineteen interns with the

813
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 21: State of North Carolina that are working year long paid internships,

814
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 21: four more and security operations that are actively protecting North

815
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 21: Carolina's digital terrain. These students are not training for cyber warfare,

816
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 21: they are actively protecting our state against attacks. But readiness

817
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:21,320
Speaker 21: is not just about national defense, it's also about sustaining

818
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 21: the force and the families who support it. Cumberland County

819
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 21: faces a growing requirement for affordable, quality housing, and Faivele

820
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 21: Tech is responding.

821
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:38,360
Speaker 6: We're building a brand new building trades program.

822
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 21: Facility on Fort Bragg twenty two thousand square feet that

823
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 21: will help meet that demand. We will be increasing all

824
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:54,920
Speaker 21: of our programs HVAC, plumbing, carpentry, as well as our

825
00:51:55,440 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 21: electrical programs to help build housing across.

826
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 6: In Cumberland County.

827
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,320
Speaker 21: We're producing that skilled technician that's needed to build and

828
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 21: maintain the infrastructure that supports our military community. We're also

829
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 21: preparing to open a twenty one million dollar CDL driving range,

830
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 21: complete with a seventeen acre driving pad with Diesel mechanic

831
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 21: base for MRO operations. With an estimated eighty thousand commercial

832
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 21: drivers needed nationwide, this facility will help close a critical

833
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 21: skills gap that is essential for a resilient national supply chain.

834
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 21: We're proud to be partnering with the Army also to

835
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 21: train drivers who'll support mobility requirements here on Fort Bragg.

836
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 21: Looking ahead, failule Tech is expanding into capabilities that align

837
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 21: with the armies modernization priorities. We're growing programs in digital modeling,

838
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:07,320
Speaker 21: additive manufacturing, programming and maintenance of robots and unmanned aircraft

839
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 21: technologies that are reshaping sustainment, intelligence, and operational maneuver. These

840
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 21: programs will ensure the next generation of soldiers and sevili

841
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 21: Our training meaned on systems that will define future conflicts.

842
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:26,760
Speaker 6: Hypeline BEGINNIA early.

843
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 21: We're also establishing STEM labs for our middle and high

844
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:38,319
Speaker 21: school student, creating that level of awareness as well as

845
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 21: creating young boring pathways in health sciences, advanced manufacturing, engineering,

846
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 21: digital modeling, defense contracting, AI, cybersecurity, and others.

847
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 6: We're shaping the future force.

848
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 21: Before they put on a uniform or before they step

849
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:02,759

Speaker 21: every level. Thanky Anderson, the eighteenth Airborne for your continued partner.

856
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 19: Ladies and gentlemen, please help me welcomes Management Office of

857
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 19: the Assistant Sector of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology,

858
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 19: Major General Christopher.

859
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 2: Snyder, you did you did better than I did on

860
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 2: uh on my title. Thank you.

861
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 24: So everybody on behalf of Honorable Ingraham, we want to

862
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 24: say thank you, sir for letting us be a part

863
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 24: of your team.

864
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:18,799
Speaker 4: Uh.

865
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 24: This is a huge opportunity. I want to talk about

866
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,320
Speaker 24: really three points tonight. I want to provide some context,

867
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 24: talk about alignment, and then really talk about commitment. So

868
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 24: when you start thinking about what the GIOP is in

869
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 24: the context of how the MODI how the the Army

870
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 24: today is transforming, the GIOP is the face of the

871
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 24: entire Armies station.

872
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 2: And it's not even even close. And I'll get into

873
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 2: a little bit of that.

874
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,320
Speaker 24: It is no mistake, there's no doubt that our military

875
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 24: has a his George Washington was leading this army to

876
00:55:56,080 --> 00:56:00,399
Speaker 24: today that one of our part of our own match

877
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 24: has been how our soldiers and leaders innovate. I remember

878
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:07,719
Speaker 24: a time when Captain Schneider and Lieutenant Colonel Garrett were

879
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:11,320
Speaker 24: in this same building and Miss Ferguson did an amazing

880
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,880
Speaker 24: job because it wasn't this nice when General Garrett and

881
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 24: I were here before, and to think that this place

882
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 24: now is going to lead the army in terms of

883
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 24: how we transform, there isn't a better place to do it.

884
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 24: We just talked about what General Gavin does or did

885
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 24: and how he innovates and how we have a legacy

886
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:34,359
Speaker 24: of that here at Fort Bragg. And if you've served

887
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:37,720
Speaker 24: in this formation, you've sort of round this formation. Everybody

888
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 24: knows this is the right place. Happened you started talking

889
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 24: about context. So the Secretary of War in directaria to

890
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 24: go ahead and transform how we deliver capability to our military.

891
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:56,320
Speaker 24: And it's a complex system, and we have gotten away

892
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 24: from our roots, and there's lots of reasons, and I

893
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 24: will get into the into the stove pipes and the

894
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 24: processes before, but I will tell you that it was

895
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 24: all built about being risk averse, not about being risk informed.

896
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:13,840
Speaker 24: And as soon as you let your subordinate leaders operate

897
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 24: in a risk informed environment versus a risk averse the

898
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 24: magic that we used to have, the overmatch we used

899
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 24: to have in terms of our ability to innovate, becomes real.

900
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 24: And today I will tell you that this idea about

901
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 24: risk informed innovation is going to happen here, we're changing

902
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 24: everything about how we feel capability of the army, how

903
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 24: we resource, how we organize, who we priority ties, who's

904
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:47,479
Speaker 24: in charge, and we're getters are in charge. Everybody else

905
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 24: around them in this modernization enterprise is there to support

906
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 24: and be the lead blocker for those commanders. And the

907
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 24: job should be one of the first examples of that commitment,

908
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 24: which is the third bullet.

909
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 2: Next.

910
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 24: Many of you don't may not appreciate happening in a department.

911
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 24: And we're not just talking about innovation. We're not just

912
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 24: outfit a new building. I'm miscommitting hundreds of millions, almost

913
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 24: a billion dollars to efforts just like this. So it's

914
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 24: not talk. It's bigger than a vision. We're actually gonna

915
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 24: put it into practice. We're putting folks, cross functional teams

916
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 24: with the right skill sets at the right place to

917
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 24: innovate at the edge and to enable that risk informed innovation.

918
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:37,480
Speaker 24: And so I hope you see today is just like

919
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 24: the beginning of rebaseline how we modernize. We've done it

920
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 24: really well for a long time with great equipment, but

921
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:50,320
Speaker 24: right now it's too expensive late to need. This is

922
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 24: going to be one of the one of the processes

923
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,400
