00:00.490 --> 00:02.670
Hello . I'm Major General Michael

00:02.670 --> 00:04.670
Russell , commanding general of the

00:04.670 --> 00:06.892
First Theater sustainment command First

00:06.892 --> 00:08.892
Team . We hope you consider joining

00:08.892 --> 00:11.940
this phenomenal team at the first TSC

00:11.950 --> 00:14.172
we believe that people are the strength

00:14.172 --> 00:15.894
of our formation , the diverse

00:15.894 --> 00:18.220
composition of the first TSC includes a

00:18.220 --> 00:20.120
mix of each of the army's three

00:20.120 --> 00:23.830
components including 22% active ,

00:23.840 --> 00:27.710
18% National Guard and 60% Armored

00:27.710 --> 00:30.140
Reserve First TSC is a true

00:30.140 --> 00:33.490
representation of our total army and

00:33.490 --> 00:36.020
the command fully leverages the skill

00:36.020 --> 00:38.350
sets and experiences within this multi

00:38.350 --> 00:40.720
compositional force to accomplish its

00:40.720 --> 00:43.040
mission . The opportunity to work in an

00:43.040 --> 00:45.040
operational sustainment environment

00:45.040 --> 00:47.096
supporting the Arson theater gives a

00:47.096 --> 00:49.207
lot of great professional development

00:49.207 --> 00:51.151
opportunities to learn big theater

00:51.151 --> 00:53.151
structured support advice , maybe a

00:53.151 --> 00:55.318
previous force , common assignment and

00:55.318 --> 00:57.207
definitely for those that want to

00:57.207 --> 00:59.207
professionally develop them In that

00:59.207 --> 01:01.040
area . Strategic and operational

01:01.040 --> 01:03.040
logistics is a great opportunity to

01:03.040 --> 01:04.984
learn and develop . The first team

01:04.984 --> 01:07.207
supports and operates in Centcom's area

01:07.207 --> 01:09.429
responsibility which spans 21 countries

01:09.429 --> 01:11.596
in support of several named operations

01:11.596 --> 01:13.540
and international exercises in the

01:13.540 --> 01:15.630
region . I had the opportunity to

01:15.630 --> 01:18.670
deploy with the first TSC forward team

01:18.680 --> 01:21.340
where we were planning for the CINCO

01:21.350 --> 01:24.640
and Arson Ao our lines of efforts was

01:24.650 --> 01:26.770
able to experience how to plan for

01:26.780 --> 01:29.590
humanitarian missions . Was able to

01:29.590 --> 01:31.820
experience what happened with kaya in

01:31.820 --> 01:34.560
the new operations , these diverse but

01:34.570 --> 01:37.250
mutually supportive mission sets

01:37.260 --> 01:39.840
required the adaptive force structure

01:39.850 --> 01:43.180
within the TSC to support the joint

01:43.180 --> 01:45.540
force in managing persistent threats ,

01:45.850 --> 01:48.120
defending the homeland and preserving

01:48.130 --> 01:51.730
peace . But don't worry we work hard

01:51.740 --> 01:53.960
but we also play hard . Fort Knox and

01:53.960 --> 01:56.710
the surrounding community have a never

01:56.720 --> 01:59.590
ending amount of entertainment and

01:59.590 --> 02:01.646
activities for you and your family .

02:01.646 --> 02:03.830
Honestly , before I came here , I

02:03.830 --> 02:06.390
thought Fort Knox what I'm gonna do in

02:06.390 --> 02:09.830
Kentucky . Once I got to Fort Knox , I

02:09.830 --> 02:12.320
realized there's a lot of things to do

02:12.320 --> 02:14.900
in Kentucky . Soldiers have a lot to

02:14.900 --> 02:17.011
look forward to here . On Fort Knox ,

02:17.011 --> 02:19.210
the city of Louisville is just a short

02:19.220 --> 02:22.510
drive away . Many of our soldiers have

02:22.520 --> 02:24.850
chosen to live in the Louisville area

02:24.860 --> 02:26.971
during their time here . Fort Knox is

02:26.971 --> 02:30.190
also close to ST louis Nashville and

02:30.190 --> 02:32.440
more . We also have our own school

02:32.440 --> 02:34.560
right here on post . That is not

02:34.560 --> 02:36.616
something that you can find on every

02:36.616 --> 02:38.970
face from elementary school to high

02:38.970 --> 02:40.970
school . Your kids can go to school

02:40.970 --> 02:43.280
right here on the post . My family and

02:43.280 --> 02:45.224
I try to take advantage of all the

02:45.224 --> 02:47.058
opportunities that Fort Knox and

02:47.058 --> 02:49.230
surrounding area off to us . First off

02:49.240 --> 02:51.570
we participate in all the F . R . G .

02:51.570 --> 02:54.670
Events , the movies on the lawn ,

02:54.680 --> 02:57.370
bowling . So when you decide to come to

02:57.370 --> 02:59.426
our organization , you can expect to

02:59.426 --> 03:01.481
meet some of the greatest soldiers ,

03:01.481 --> 03:04.660
civilians and teammates in the army and

03:04.660 --> 03:07.790
teammates include families as well . So

03:07.790 --> 03:10.012
around four knocks a lot of things that

03:10.012 --> 03:12.123
my family and I like to do . Um we go

03:12.123 --> 03:14.123
see Brandenburg , there's jailhouse

03:14.123 --> 03:16.590
pizza . There is the Kentucky Derby ,

03:16.590 --> 03:18.701
which is every made Glendale which is

03:18.701 --> 03:20.923
where fried green tomatoes was filmed .

03:20.923 --> 03:22.868
So there's all kinds of historical

03:22.868 --> 03:24.979
monuments and locations to go visit .

03:24.979 --> 03:27.090
You can go to what we call the Forest

03:27.090 --> 03:29.257
Giant . That is a very great area that

03:29.257 --> 03:32.350
you can do a lot of hiking and a lot of

03:32.360 --> 03:35.360
diverse activities with your kids . Not

03:35.360 --> 03:37.360
to mention , Fort Knox is home to a

03:37.360 --> 03:39.370
variety of units , including Cadet

03:39.370 --> 03:42.630
Command , recruiting command , HRC and

03:42.630 --> 03:44.686
fifth Court . After your time at the

03:44.686 --> 03:46.310
first TSC , you may have the

03:46.310 --> 03:48.620
opportunity to remain here , develop

03:48.620 --> 03:51.170
your career and stabilize your family

03:51.180 --> 03:53.900
at this hidden gym post . This really

03:53.900 --> 03:56.610
is one of the best installations and

03:56.610 --> 03:59.200
people often say they are glad to have

03:59.200 --> 04:02.100
been here again . We look forward to

04:02.100 --> 04:04.211
you joining the first team , Patton's

04:04.211 --> 04:06.120
own strong Sergeants .
