- [Man on Radio] We are looking for a blue F-150
in the vicinity of the Long Beach Walmart parking lot.

- Our primary mission is homeland security and support.
Today we went out and we did a reconnaissance mission
and vehicle surveillance.
The mission today consists of a scenario
in which we were supporting law enforcement
to find a target vehicle and follow that target vehicle
because the law enforcement didn't want to tip off
that they were being followed for whatever reason.

- We use individuals within our unit
to help us with this training.
We use Cadet Harmon who drives the blue truck
so that way, we're not out surveilling citizens
of the United States.
The reason we go out and train on vehicle surveillance
is for missions such as the one at the southwest border.
Sometimes we have to support law enforcement,
essentially the Customs and Border Patrol,
following suspect or target vehicles,
and assist them in locating that vehicle
when they can't follow it on the ground.
The aircraft that we use
to support our mission is a UH-72 Lakota.
It is an Airbus commercial, off-the-shelf helicopter
that the Army has purchased for quick fielding
to meet the needs of the Army National Guard
and aviation support.
Some of the equipment that we use
to assist us in this, it's a MX-15 camera.
It has a series of three lens: electro-optical,
wide, narrow, and it has an infrared camera.
It's important to do this kind of training
because it's very much proficiency-based.
We're required to go out and train these tasks
several times throughout the year,
and annual training allows us to come together
collectively as a unit and do things
that time won't allow on our drill weekend.
