00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.759
The previous question you mentioned the Corrections Department mission. That
2
00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:06.400
was when we found out about it and we reported
3
00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:10.080
on it. That was really, again a very impressive piece
4
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:14.400
of news. I'm very curious because I think there's maybe
5
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:18.280
maybe one other state defense force that does it, just
6
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:21.559
off the top of my head. How but you were
7
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:24.480
the first ones. How did that come to be? How
8
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:27.879
did you get that set up? Because that was that
9
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:32.320
that Corrections Department mission was just very impressive to just
10
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:34.920
you know, read about, and it's a post and share
11
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:37.719
with other State Defense worst members and many were really
12
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:40.759
impressed that you guys were doing that mission. So how
13
00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:41.439
did that come to be?
14
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:46.159
And he starts with the governor, the Governor's o commander
15
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:49.799
in chief, and then he saw a need then that
16
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:55.079
we had a state agency apartments that needed assistance. It
17
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:57.759
was a massive riot, Lots of the inmates were killed,
18
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.960
it was totally out of control, and they needed help
19
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:06.040
to secure the perimeter for a long term process while
20
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:09.480
they took care of inside. So the governor said, let's
21
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:12.760
use the state guards. So through the Adjudant General and myself,
22
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:15.280
we were able to develop a plan with Department Corrections
23
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:18.599
and had our military police assigned there and they did
24
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:23.640
a great job, no problems whatsoever. I think it impressed
25
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:28.239
the inmates to see us there in uniform armed and
26
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:31.840
that's a big deal. Prior to twenty fifteen, the State
27
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:34.719
Guard had not been under arms since World War Two,
28
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:40.920
and we were needed doing the Great Flood of twenty fifteen,
29
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:45.640
and we can We can react and get on boots
30
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.519
on the ground at a location a lot faster than
31
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:52.200
what the National Guard does. If you're three minute National Guard,
32
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:55.359
it takes a while for them to get mobilized, get going,
33
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:58.120
but we can do it within hours. So we got
34
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:01.280
the calls to owner's going to prove you will be
35
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:04.480
on We need your military police to go to provide
36
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.120
security at these different locations. When you're able to get
37
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:11.280
there very quickly and have secure shelters and pods for
38
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:12.000
people to come to
