Right attitude and you can see the Tactical Unit at the bottom there and the Crisis Response Civil Military Operations Center that was there to provide the command and control of those Tactical Units responding on the military side, this provided a perfect environment and opportunity for them to be able to interact with the civilian partners and provide the most appropriate response and understanding. Very complex and again i just want to reiterate that the military, we know when were responding in this type of environment that were not coming in with the heavy capability and saying dont worry, were here to help you and take over, were here to complement and support you with the appropriate ways that you request our needs. The next few slides that im going to go over here shows some of the military capability and how some of those responses that we did during this exercise can also be applied at home in a domestic environment such as a response to maybe an earthquake here in San Franci
Attack capability every year, burning over 6. 7 million acres.

So from the afghan perspective, incredibly frustrating to understand where they are going and what they need to be doing and what is right and what is wrong. So in closing if someone were to ask me from 2010 to where were at now, is there hope i would say, yes, there is. As we stand down our combat forces and shift to an advisory and a training role i think were going to be able to take our lessons lerbed learned and ensure that we can continue to build on what weve done. There were some Great Success stories. One of the things we worked on a lot was trying to bring women into the policing, something that was unheard of only a few years ago. Nina talked about the teachers but there was women wh
