1 00:00:01,940 --> 00:00:03,884 my name is Todd taylor and I'm the 2 00:00:03,884 --> 00:00:05,884 director of the program integration 3 00:00:05,884 --> 00:00:08,218 Office for the 908 Airlift wing . The P . 4 00:00:08,218 --> 00:00:10,384 I . O . Is the integration office . So 5 00:00:10,384 --> 00:00:12,860 we are responsible directly to colonel 6 00:00:12,860 --> 00:00:15,300 dress for the wing commander To work 7 00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:17,467 with other group leadership and ensure 8 00:00:17,467 --> 00:00:20,930 that the 908 Airlift Wing smartly and 9 00:00:20,930 --> 00:00:23,370 safely converts from a tactical C . 1 10 00:00:23,370 --> 00:00:25,770 30 Airlift organization to the Air 11 00:00:25,770 --> 00:00:28,330 Force's newest formal training unit 12 00:00:28,330 --> 00:00:31,890 training the Mh 1 39 helicopter 30,000 13 00:00:31,890 --> 00:00:34,690 ft view . We are getting rid of widget 14 00:00:34,690 --> 00:00:36,990 A which is the C . 1 30 H . And 15 00:00:36,990 --> 00:00:39,101 replacing it with , would it be which 16 00:00:39,101 --> 00:00:41,940 is the M . H . 1 39 A . And all the 17 00:00:41,940 --> 00:00:44,051 logistics that that entails . Whether 18 00:00:44,051 --> 00:00:46,384 it's training , whether it's facilities , 19 00:00:46,384 --> 00:00:49,270 whether it's finances , it's going to 20 00:00:49,270 --> 00:00:52,520 be a process . The transition is not 21 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,750 going to happen overnight so we have 22 00:00:54,750 --> 00:00:58,610 time as a wing to properly and 23 00:00:58,610 --> 00:01:00,721 together as wingman work through this 24 00:01:00,721 --> 00:01:03,970 transition . This is this is probably 25 00:01:03,970 --> 00:01:06,160 gonna be the hardest transition in the 26 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,216 history of the Air Force and I don't 27 00:01:08,216 --> 00:01:10,216 think I'm overstating that it's not 28 00:01:10,216 --> 00:01:11,993 going to be necessarily an easy 29 00:01:11,993 --> 00:01:14,160 transition . We're moving from a fixed 30 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,590 wing long heritage and history of that 31 00:01:17,590 --> 00:01:20,910 C 1 30 tactical airlift to a completely 32 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,890 different airframe , completely 33 00:01:22,890 --> 00:01:25,150 different type of flying completely 34 00:01:25,150 --> 00:01:27,150 different type of maintenance , the 35 00:01:27,150 --> 00:01:29,670 history of the maintenance group which 36 00:01:29,670 --> 00:01:32,540 I can speak to . I have no doubt that 37 00:01:32,550 --> 00:01:34,772 we're going to be up to the challenge . 38 00:01:34,772 --> 00:01:36,939 I mean we're talking about maintainers 39 00:01:36,939 --> 00:01:39,161 who have an average of I think 10 to 12 40 00:01:39,161 --> 00:01:41,383 years of experience . So you're talking 41 00:01:41,383 --> 00:01:43,717 about very experienced , very decorated , 42 00:01:43,717 --> 00:01:45,772 very accomplished maintainers . So I 43 00:01:45,772 --> 00:01:47,883 think we're gonna we're gonna do what 44 00:01:47,883 --> 00:01:50,106 we do . Every member of the wing is now 45 00:01:50,106 --> 00:01:52,328 part of the integration office . If you 46 00:01:52,328 --> 00:01:54,494 will . Hopefully , our airmen can kind 47 00:01:54,494 --> 00:01:58,120 of help us embrace what's coming and 48 00:01:58,300 --> 00:02:00,360 and we can stay excited about it .
