1
00:00:00,009 --> 00:00:02,309
I am the chief of the Sustainment and 

2
00:00:02,319 --> 00:00:05,889
resiliency Division at the Army 

3
00:00:05,900 --> 00:00:07,780
Reserve installation management 

4
00:00:07,789 --> 00:00:09,699
directorate . And my overall 

5
00:00:09,710 --> 00:00:12,689
responsibility is managing different 

6
00:00:12,699 --> 00:00:16,040
funding that supports the army in both 

7
00:00:16,049 --> 00:00:19,059
installation support and also 

8
00:00:19,110 --> 00:00:22,549
installation logistics armor is Army 

9
00:00:22,559 --> 00:00:25,034
reserve mission resiliency in 

10
00:00:25,045 --> 00:00:28,194
sustainability training . And we formed 

11
00:00:28,204 --> 00:00:32,044
armor in 2017 after a year of 

12
00:00:32,055 --> 00:00:36,025
planning because we recognized that the 

13
00:00:36,034 --> 00:00:38,955
criticality of our infrastructure and 

14
00:00:38,965 --> 00:00:41,005
our facilities in the Army Reserve 

15
00:00:41,154 --> 00:00:43,784
needing to be both resilient and 

16
00:00:43,794 --> 00:00:46,744
sustainable so that we can do the Army 

17
00:00:46,755 --> 00:00:49,534
Reserve mission and support our citizen 

18
00:00:49,544 --> 00:00:52,375
soldiers , both not only now in the 

19
00:00:52,384 --> 00:00:55,490
present , but also that we are ensuring 

20
00:00:55,500 --> 00:00:57,689
that we are making the right decisions 

21
00:00:57,759 --> 00:01:00,479
to support them into the future . And 

22
00:01:00,490 --> 00:01:03,000
that's where that sustainability aspect 

23
00:01:03,009 --> 00:01:05,440
comes in is making sure we're able to 

24
00:01:05,449 --> 00:01:07,529
do both . As most people know . The 

25
00:01:07,540 --> 00:01:11,150
Army Reserve is a very diverse and very 

26
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,779
dispersed organization . So we 

27
00:01:14,790 --> 00:01:17,169
have five army Reserve funded 

28
00:01:17,180 --> 00:01:20,779
installations , we own over 850 

29
00:01:20,790 --> 00:01:24,330
reserve centers across the country . So 

30
00:01:24,389 --> 00:01:27,180
how do we have standardization in our 

31
00:01:27,190 --> 00:01:31,089
processes and our policies and the way 

32
00:01:31,099 --> 00:01:33,690
that we do things across the 

33
00:01:33,699 --> 00:01:36,330
organization without having this type 

34
00:01:36,339 --> 00:01:38,459
of training event in support of the 

35
00:01:38,470 --> 00:01:41,139
Army Reserve overall mission where the 

36
00:01:41,150 --> 00:01:42,983
money is being spent , where the 

37
00:01:42,983 --> 00:01:44,983
building is being built , where the 

38
00:01:44,983 --> 00:01:46,983
environment has to be protected and 

39
00:01:46,983 --> 00:01:48,761
cleaned . That's where the real 

40
00:01:48,761 --> 00:01:50,872
problems of the arm are and those are 

41
00:01:50,872 --> 00:01:52,872
the big problems and that's why I'm 

42
00:01:52,872 --> 00:01:54,928
here and I've been on that receiving 

43
00:01:54,928 --> 00:01:57,150
end , I've been a junior officer . Um , 

44
00:01:57,150 --> 00:01:59,317
and I've seen policy come from on high 

45
00:01:59,317 --> 00:02:01,428
and you read it and you have to laugh 

46
00:02:01,428 --> 00:02:03,094
and you realize it's just not 

47
00:02:03,094 --> 00:02:05,317
physically possible to do this . So you 

48
00:02:05,317 --> 00:02:07,745
wonder who's writing these things . So 

49
00:02:07,915 --> 00:02:09,804
that's , that's why I'm here . So 

50
00:02:09,804 --> 00:02:11,205
that's why I want to hear that . Um .
