Captain Gaines , uh , Anthony Lewis

00:05.059 --> 00:07.003
Gainsborough , Mick Will , Project

00:07.003 --> 00:08.899
Convergence or PCC 5 is a

00:08.899 --> 00:11.659
conglomeration of the MSCs across the

00:11.659 --> 00:14.270
joint , uh , providing experimentations

00:14.539 --> 00:16.899
to further develop their TTPs as well

00:16.899 --> 00:19.739
as technology-based equipment for the

00:19.739 --> 00:21.739
future fight . So what we're trying

00:21.739 --> 00:23.628
right now is we're testing , uh ,

00:23.628 --> 00:25.739
technology-based equipment as well as

00:25.739 --> 00:27.850
loitering munitions , uh , to support

00:27.850 --> 00:29.989
both maritime domain . Awareness as

00:29.989 --> 00:32.100
well as just sensor based equipment ,

00:32.100 --> 00:34.580
but the idea is , is what can we see

00:35.150 --> 00:37.220
via radars , both passive and active

00:37.630 --> 00:40.709
then pass that information back to a

00:40.709 --> 00:43.150
COC um so everyone can see a better

00:43.150 --> 00:45.372
picture of what the area or environment

00:45.372 --> 00:47.539
is looking like . Logistics during PCC

00:47.539 --> 00:49.317
5 for Sonara Alpha was slightly

00:49.317 --> 00:51.206
different . Uh , we did it at San

00:51.206 --> 00:53.372
Clemente Island , which inheritably is

00:53.372 --> 00:55.539
difficult because it is an island , so

00:55.539 --> 00:57.428
it made us have to adapt to every

00:57.428 --> 00:59.539
situation . And the one big key thing

00:59.539 --> 01:01.261
that we took into this was the

01:01.261 --> 01:03.428
intelligence gathering provided by the

01:03.428 --> 01:05.372
STU to include weather planned and

01:05.372 --> 01:05.139
facilitated a lot of the logistics

01:05.139 --> 01:07.472
planning in order to facilitate all the .

01:08.269 --> 01:10.436
Combat service support as well as life

01:10.436 --> 01:12.491
support for the island . I would say

01:12.491 --> 01:14.380
that adaptability is probably the

01:14.380 --> 01:16.436
biggest thing . We don't , we didn't

01:16.436 --> 01:18.491
know what was gonna happen sometimes

01:18.491 --> 01:20.658
day to day , uh , both for air as well

01:20.658 --> 01:23.120
as general CSS because we are so

01:23.120 --> 01:26.199
dependent on NAFAC and NAC to support

01:26.199 --> 01:29.080
us in some areas , but end state we

01:29.080 --> 01:32.919
have to plan multiple COs , not just 2

01:32.919 --> 01:35.349
or 3 , sometimes 4 , in order to adapt ,

01:35.510 --> 01:36.709
and we have to be flexible .
