WEBVTT 00:09.420 --> 00:11.587 Members of the one second Intelligence 00:11.587 --> 00:14.289 wing . Welcome to October drill . I'm 00:14.300 --> 00:17.090 Colonel Wendy Armijo , proud commander 00:17.100 --> 00:19.950 of the 202nd Intelligence Surveillance 00:19.959 --> 00:22.059 and Reconnaissance Group . I'm 00:22.069 --> 00:24.013 especially pleased to speak to you 00:24.013 --> 00:26.125 today because this afternoon , the 20 00:26.125 --> 00:29.350 2nd will at long last hold a ribbon 00:29.360 --> 00:31.471 cutting ceremony to mark the official 00:31.471 --> 00:33.669 opening of our operations facility in 00:33.680 --> 00:36.930 building 165 . This is a big deal 00:37.450 --> 00:39.617 after over seven years since the stand 00:39.617 --> 00:42.180 up of our mission . The 202nd has 00:42.189 --> 00:44.220 reached full operational capability 00:44.950 --> 00:47.117 with two separate operations floors to 00:47.117 --> 00:49.180 house the 20 3rd and the 267 00:49.189 --> 00:51.840 intelligence squadrons respectively and 00:51.849 --> 00:54.220 sufficient space for the 202nd 00:54.229 --> 00:56.290 intelligence support squadron to 00:56.299 --> 00:59.150 provide both expert system support and 00:59.159 --> 01:01.048 conduct the rigorous training our 01:01.048 --> 01:02.759 analysts require to perform 01:02.770 --> 01:05.838 intelligence in the cyber domain . This 01:05.848 --> 01:07.638 building allows our analysts to 01:07.649 --> 01:10.278 maximize intelligence production 01:10.638 --> 01:14.569 capability , facilitates collaboration 01:14.580 --> 01:17.470 for mission success increases unit 01:17.480 --> 01:21.040 cohesion and positions . The 202nd to 01:21.050 --> 01:23.050 be the premier Signals Intelligence 01:23.050 --> 01:26.550 unit in the National Guard . Fun Facts . 01:27.050 --> 01:29.669 Building 165 has been home now to three 01:29.680 --> 01:32.610 operations groups . It was originally 01:32.620 --> 01:34.940 constructed to house the F-15 mission 01:35.099 --> 01:38.839 in 1988 . Then it was modified 01:38.849 --> 01:41.319 for the 102nd air Operations Group 01:41.480 --> 01:43.709 aligned with the 608 Air Operations 01:43.720 --> 01:47.319 Center and Strategic Command . And now 01:47.330 --> 01:50.610 165 is optimized for the 200 seconds . 01:50.620 --> 01:54.169 Cyber ir mission . Fun fact . Number 01:54.180 --> 01:57.790 two , building 165 was in the thick of 01:57.800 --> 02:00.349 renovation during the COVID-19 pandemic 02:01.160 --> 02:03.500 and due to lack of outside expertise 02:03.959 --> 02:06.190 and because contractors and product 02:06.199 --> 02:10.039 delivery were delayed . Our own cyber 02:10.050 --> 02:12.899 technicians in the 202nd Intelligence 02:12.910 --> 02:15.580 Support squadron procured nearly nearly 02:15.589 --> 02:18.929 $250,000 of communications products 02:19.369 --> 02:22.210 and designed and engineered the layout 02:22.220 --> 02:25.259 for the entire secure facility . They 02:25.270 --> 02:27.103 completed wire runs and finished 02:27.103 --> 02:28.770 equipment layout to which the 02:28.770 --> 02:31.059 contractors applauded our folks for 02:31.070 --> 02:33.880 their outstanding design capability and 02:33.889 --> 02:36.509 attention to detail . Fun fact . Number 02:36.520 --> 02:40.509 three , from 55 workstations 02:40.520 --> 02:42.742 in the initial operation , Skiff in the 02:42.742 --> 02:46.330 158 hangar to the 120 02:46.339 --> 02:50.070 workstations we have now moving into 02:50.080 --> 02:52.429 building 165 , has more than doubled 02:52.440 --> 02:54.830 our production capability and 02:54.839 --> 02:57.410 exponentially improved our ability to 02:57.419 --> 02:59.910 support our mission partners and to be 02:59.919 --> 03:03.320 ready for the high end fight . I want 03:03.330 --> 03:05.274 to thank the senior leaders of the 03:05.274 --> 03:07.449 Massachusetts Air National Guard past 03:07.460 --> 03:09.740 Adjutant generals and wing commanders 03:09.750 --> 03:13.009 who more than a decade ago had the 03:13.020 --> 03:15.589 foresight to recognize that the Cyber 03:15.600 --> 03:17.550 Domain would be pivotal in future 03:17.559 --> 03:20.589 conflicts . They took a risk in 03:20.600 --> 03:22.822 offering the air Operations Group as an 03:22.822 --> 03:25.229 offset for us to gain our mission . 03:26.339 --> 03:28.006 Despite the fact that mission 03:28.006 --> 03:30.228 conversion would mean yet another shake 03:30.228 --> 03:32.283 up in the wing and instigate another 03:32.283 --> 03:34.061 round of cross training and new 03:34.061 --> 03:37.710 sessions . Their vision ensured that 03:37.720 --> 03:39.949 the Massachusetts Air National Guard 03:40.330 --> 03:42.360 and the 10 2nd Intelligence Wing 03:42.369 --> 03:44.990 remains relevant leading the Air 03:45.000 --> 03:47.210 National Guard Intelligence Enterprise 03:47.220 --> 03:50.380 to meet war fighting requirements . I 03:50.389 --> 03:52.333 also want to thank the many sister 03:52.333 --> 03:54.220 units within the Wing , civil 03:54.229 --> 03:57.110 engineering contracting com and for 03:57.139 --> 04:00.000 support from air conditioning to audio 04:00.009 --> 04:02.949 visual equipment . We continue to rely 04:02.960 --> 04:05.250 on your assistance for mission success . 04:05.259 --> 04:07.589 Certainly we couldn't have reached full 04:07.600 --> 04:09.600 operational capability without your 04:09.600 --> 04:13.369 support . And 04:13.380 --> 04:16.769 finally to the members of the 202nd ISR 04:16.779 --> 04:19.619 group . Thank you for your perseverance , 04:19.869 --> 04:22.429 your patience , your diligence and your 04:22.440 --> 04:25.190 continued hard work . Let this 04:25.200 --> 04:27.690 afternoon's ribbon cutting ceremony be 04:27.700 --> 04:29.489 a tribute to the Outstanding 04:29.500 --> 04:32.779 Intelligence analysis you've conducted 04:32.790 --> 04:35.012 in our brief history as an intelligence 04:35.012 --> 04:38.290 unit . And let it be a glimpse into the 04:38.299 --> 04:40.739 future contributions you'll make to 04:40.750 --> 04:43.980 national security . This is your home 04:44.200 --> 04:46.899 and you will mark yet another milestone 04:46.910 --> 04:49.529 in the distinguished legacy of the 04:49.540 --> 04:51.230 102nd Intelligence Wing .
