second battalion chief, battalion 2, a very important battalion, is 22 minutes and 45 seconds, especially because of them being hazmat. and the first was 24 minutes. obviously, there is a lot of things we've been trying to work on, haven't been getting too far. it was stated that when -- when we asked for the emergency access lane, it was stated that that third street lane is not possible because in some of the sections, it's lanes arthe lanesare only 10 fe, and we require 10 feet 4 for our rigs. there are some sections that have 11 to 12 feet lanes, and we're looking into them for a potential emergency vehicle access lane there. there is no guarantee we'll be able to do that. >> i think the chief covered almost everything as far as the statistics. it will pump 5500 gpm and a single operator in four-wheel-drive with -- with the streets or buckled and we need to get some place. it will be a good apparatus for us to have. at the end of the video presentation, sandra tong's report for e.m.s., we just send out 20 offers for the new h3 l1 e.m.t. academy. we included the identifiable home addre

level" anyone qualified to be considered for battalion level would be battalion chief level, would be eligible, at least to put their hat in the ring, so to speak? >> sure. >> i did know how big of pool was. my other question, with narcan, last year, you gave out 14 tendinosis, what is the cost of a dose? >> i don't have that information, do you, mark? four dollars per box. >> okay. that is for one dose essentially it's a lot cheaper than i expected. >> thank you very much for your report. again, as you can tell from the reaction on the questions, it's a comprehensive report. i believe this is your third report, chief? i, again, marked what i enjoyed reading the airport division, the recruitment page, the fire reserves information as well. it's important that the neighborhood emergency response team, as you heard a comment, the recent earthquakes down in los angeles and southern california that seems to be now, part of that is what we can do as a department is to get us ready, if you will. i know there was a mention of her grand jury report, i know there will be some discussions on th

anybody out there from that battalion. i did tweet to the washington journal a picture of my grandfather. he made it, my father, his son, joined the marine corps, went to vietnam, and he did lose a leg. he came home, my grandfather did, and raised a big family. my grandfather is gone now. any information on the 6th would be appreciated. >> if you want to tweet that we're at wdj. thanks for calling in on that. alex kershaw. >> first of all, it's a great privilege to talk to you. i'm in bedford here. as you can see to my left, there's a plaza covered with plaques of each of the individual units on d-day. your grandfather landed in the most elizabethal place at the most lethal time on d-day that any allied troop could find himself on. dog green sector, he became before the first wave. you look at the 20 minutes of saving private ryan, those amazing minutes of carnage and death and slaughter, your grand father was in those scenes as were the bedford boys. he landed in a dangerous place misdemeanor. i think it's a miracle he su

in reality, azof battalion is also an infamous neo-nazi militia.said the group's mission is to lead the white races of the world in a crusade against semite-led subhumans. and the group has learned to exploit the internet as an international recruitment tool. >> good evening and good morning to our listeners in the u.s. you are listening to -- >> when he was just 16, ukrainian supporters of azof battalion found andrew online and invited him to speak as an expert on their podcast. after andrew died, a journalist gave this recording to the oneschuks. >> today we have a light discussion with andrew. he's an american nationalist who will discuss with me the current overall situation and about the right-wing movement in the usa. >> hello, good morning. >> what is the current state of the nationalist movement in the united states? >> if you know about the fbi, which is the internal security police for the united states, they've been doing a lot of work turning different nationalist organizations against each other. >> but do they have any support from th

obviously the fact you have a broken down by battalion shows the real problem is in battalion two. all of this is really good information. the question is, how do we use it? i will just put that out there. maybe we can figure out some ways to put it -- put ideas to our benefit. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. commissioner cleveland? >> thank you. thank you for your reports. a couple of quick questions. you mentioned and emergency response map. is that something you can share with the commission? >> emergency response map is part of what we call the 10-3 or battalion-based dispatch. if our communications go down in the fire department and there is a horrible disaster, than what we do is we break down the fire department into ten different departments. each battalion, it becomes its own department, so in battalion two, each station has their response area, they have a laminated map, and what they would do is do a quick survey which they call a windshield survey and report back to the chief. the chief stays in the firehouse and basically becomes or she becomes their o

colonel rudder in charge of the second ranger battalion assaulted plunder huck. culled by bradley the most difficult job on d-day. they had to scale the 100 high pressure foot cliffs. very famous scenes np but rudder had never been in combat process. in fact the only guys he had led was a college football team but did a wonderful job on d-day. there were 225 guys in the second ranger baltimoren assaulted plunder huck and suffered over 6 oh% casualties. i've been to the spot where rudder was round o wounded twice on june 6th, 1944 kept on fighting appear leading men. and fought for 48 hours before his men were relieved by fellow americans. the second ranger battalion many of the guys had not slept the night of the fifth of june. they were relieved around ma midday the 8th of june. imagine that, 72 hours of combat of adrenalin peaking and flowing, losing your loved ones, brothers guys that you treated like your real brothers because they were in combat with you. very high casualties. and extraordinary job. and went on become i think texas a&m's greatest ever presid

, and that battalion would get other battalions and they would transmit what they had learned to these newer units. but it's at these schools where they would really test these concepts and figure out how to work these particular vehicles. by way of branding one of the things robeling does and he has a critical role in this still. it doesn't mean he doesn't retain an interest, because he does. and they'll figure out ways of improving subsequent models and that was one of the memories crozack had for the rest of his life trying to figure out solutions you could say with chalk on the floor but robeling took the cal pillar tractor logo and adapted it to his own with more of a floridian theme. ultimately when these forces are deployed these battalions that would get established at such places, how would the marine corp work together to ensure they would not have to have the necessary units in place, properly staffed, properly equipped when they would need it? it was a real challenge to orchestrate production, in part as we mentioned a while ago fmc discovered often it couldn't provide enou

over the last several years russia developed produced flight tested and now has fielded multiple battalions of its i.n.f. non-compliant m 9729 missile system. in response earlier this month and after 6 years of u.s. diplomacy to return russia to compliance and preserve the treaty our secretary of state affirmed the us withdrawal from the i.n.f. treaty as the secretary said in his statement the united states will not remain a party to a treaty that is deliberately violated by russia. the other nato allies also concluded that russia had materially breached the i.n.f. treaty let me repeat russia had materially breached the i.n.f. treaty and the nato allies fully supported the u.s. withdrawal due to russia's intransigence. we're here today because the russian federation preferred a world in which the united states continued to fulfill its i.n.f. treaty obligations while the russian federation did not. indeed the russian federation and china would still like a world where the united states exercises self-restraint while they continue their arms buildups unabated and unabashed russia now threaten

there's 7 battalions in fact a little army that is already formed by an organization the so-called zeile 5 which is there but what they need is and the president of putting a fossil is quite clear on that is they need money they need support they need training and that is something the french president made clear that in the future germany france and others who want to join them do want to send down they said they've collected quite a bit of money on a number of the donor conferences a number of countries have pledged money but they invite others to join them in order to strengthen that region not only to fight terrorism and insecurity inside that region but also regarding neighboring countries like libya is something that they do want to look towards important is that they not only talked about military aid and training but also about development aid because the french president said look if we go into a region and free that region from terrorists we then also need to take care of the population of that region and and make sure that development and the livelihood of people there it gets

there were four entry battalions left, so aviation units. everybody else was on cameron bay, long bend, all these big bases as you so aptly point out with lots of time, lots of money, and not much to do. and there was all kinds of opportunities to get in trouble and to blame the racial tension and all the other things. certainly the ready access to drugs and i know that the scholarship suggests, recent scholarship suggests that the drug problem wasn't that bad. i don't believe it. at least in my experience it was extremely bad. that was even on the advisory team. there were evidences there that i could go into. so yeah, i think there was a problem. now, whether all that he describes in the terms that he described it, which some of the terms were unfortunate in his choice of words, yes, definitely, yes. >> it's important to note that the fact that jim had six of 18 of his soldiers in jail doesn't say anything about lieutenant wilbanks leadership, i just want to point that out. >> or it might. you never know. >> our last question before i'd li

in our battalion we were understrength by about half the people. i would submit that the army in europe was paying the price for vietnam. it manifested itself in a number of ways. not enough people, the trips that we had were unmotivated, they just wanted to get out of the army and get as far away from it as possible. there were no funds for training or maintenance. the barracks were falling apart. at one point the unit that i served in half of our vehicles were in storage. because we could demand them. we can fix them, and we couldn't fuel them. we did not have the money. it was a bit disconcerting to go to our position on the german border to defend against the soviets and put up little metal signs that said automatic rifle or machine gunner. i didn't have enough people to man the tracks in my platoon. the barracks were falling apart, junior ncos were coming from vietnam with less than a year. the best ones to soldier on and did their jobs. the worst ones just put their time and so they could get out. a lot of the senior ncos did not want to conf

how did you feel when the foreigners first jned your battalion? >> we know the reason why we are here, ukrainians, because it's our land, we defend it. but why foreign guys come here? we didn't... these guys, very good guys. they're very patriotic. one of them want to take ukrainian citizenship now because our laws allow to do wiat. >> reporter: fol in the footsteps of the u.s., ukraine tchanged its laws to make possible for foreigners serving in the military to receive citizenship.not everyone plans , but the defense ministry saysth there are currently about 130 foreigners serseng, including ral americans. >> someone who proves that he wants to be ukrainian citizen and he also has the good record of fighting for this country, well, he also has the privilege to be granted ukrainian citizenship. >> reporter: the reforms are seen as part of an efforto redirect internationals away erom volunteer battalions that were not fully uhe defense ministry's control-- groups like the azov battalion, which has recruited many oits fighters from the ranks of the

the 596 airborne engineer company. 460th air battalion. those three units together made that regimental combat team, which the entire campaign was attaching larger divisions where they were needed throughout the war. we are representing them during their maritime alps campaign in the south of france near the italian border. they were test with protecting the right flank of the main advance of the rome river valley. that came from the operation dragoon campaign in august 1944. the second invasion of france, overshadowed by operation overlord, the normandy operation. both operations were designed to take place simultaneously. they were codenamed hammer and the anvil. fortunately, due to lack of landing craft and aircraft, higher command was unable to have both operations at the same time. normandy would be the more important operation as we know from history. operation dragoon, the southern operation, was delayed until august 1944. that originally took place. >> troops began to go up the beach. they were prepared for an enemy onslaught. but

feeling make huge as an expert on battalion 310. that's not looks like russia. maybe he can tell me more about the photos. here. that's the problem it's definitely a police officer you can see the german eagle insignia raised by oak leaves homes. from other parts of europe. this is so just that is this is the big question i have been trying to find out. about my family and how it survived the war why he. as a thing that we are fighting about as there are lots of photos of prisoners and detainees and scenes of deportations with the scene so i think the photographer was recording events for posterity by as he would inform people it was that would give information to the relatives about the person's fate when he had water. and then these photos document war crimes and the unbelievable destruction that took place he is that was the grounds they were intended to be used later as evidence and to help bring the perpetrators to justice. but i'm going to take these photos. why he collected them. and those who are using i have no idea or syria the ones that show the germa

instance for the zeile area or 5 countries 5 african countries there who have military troops 7 battalions in that area in order to fight terrorists they will receive money and they will receive training and they will receive a development aid for those areas that have been freed of terrorists so that is some positive news coming out of the g. 7 here again thanks so much for now we'll have much more throughout the course of the final day of the g. 7 summit in b a it's now york thanks very much. well as mentioned the iranian foreign minister made that unexpected appearance at the summit iran wants to defuse tensions of course with the u.s. after washington pulled out of the 2015 international nuclear cordie us is applying a policy of maximum pressure that includes economic sanctions on iran did obvious reason as looking into what that means for every day. the economic heart of the iranian capital beats in the bizarre at 1st glance it seems to be bustling here. but looks can be deceiving. has traveled all the way from isaan to 7th fabrics but business is slow today. as a move. this is one of

we went back to the battalion aid station.and he went down one side and up the other, asking what is your problem? and we were all talking about frozen feet. he said it was like walking on bowling balls. he didn't take any of us off that truck. he just directed the driver and the next thing we knew we were at a hospital in belgium. that was the last combat that i actually saw. >> tucker: just a few second left, sir. what does it mean to you see this moment, the 75th anniversary all the years ago and be alive to witness this? >> i'm thankful that i can be here. among family and friends and a lot of good people. like you. >> tucker: well, you as well, sir. >> martha: thank you so much for sharing your story with us tonight. we thank you for your incredible service to this country and for sharing your stories with us. we are grateful. thank you be. well. >> thank you. >> martha: that the "the story" of friday, august 16. but "the story with martha" goes on. we'll see you monday at 7:00. have a fantastic weekend, everybody. good n

feeling make huge as an expert on battalion 310. that's not looks like russia. maybe you can tell me more about the photos. here. that's them put that's definitely a police officer you can see the german eagle insignia actually raised by oak leaves holmes and he said what the other parts of europe. this is. just this is the question i've been trying to find out. about my family and how it survived the war why. as a thing we have there are lots of photos of prisoners and detainees and scenes of deportations with. those so i think the photographer was recording events for posterity as he would in fact before it was that would give information to the relatives about the person's fate when she didn't want to. and then these photos document war crimes and the unbelievable destruction that took place in the as that was the grabs they were intended to be used later as evidence and to help bring the perpetrators to justice. but i'm trying to take these photos. and why he collected them. and those who are using my i have no idea of our story are the ones that show the ge

so he found himself on the ground with about a battalion of his troops a mile off target and the restof his entire regimen dropped on the correct drop zone but again because of debri the y that he approached, he had made his men jump with as much combat equipment as they could carry to include radios, which again was a despised habit of his by his band because their radios in world war ii were large and bulky and heavy and you could easily injure your soft landing on one of them, but because of this he was able to get on the radio, coordinate the unit and improvise a new attack planned and get them moving off the drop zone they are in incentives. he had a similar mishap, where again as i mentioned he was in the artillery and the plan is that it was supposed to drop first if they would land for fire support. those that were in front of him, the plane planes veered off ando when he arrived on the ground, his unit was all alone and they ended up fighting his infantry for the first several hours on the groun ground endeavors to dd themselves and to push the germans back before they could

so good today we achieved a big victory in the sates capitol 8 and untamed pro-government battalions were defeated. it follows several days of intense fighting in aden with residents often caught in the cross-fire violence escalated after dozens of separatist soldiers were killed in an attack on august 1st a week later an airstrike hit a bus on a summer school trip killing more than 50 people including 40 children medics have warned that hospitals are stretched to the limits. yemen's war began 5 years ago and a school aged in 2015 went to saudi led military coalition intervened in support of the country's embattled government after heathy rebels took the capital center. tens of thousands of people have been killed in the conflict the vast majority of them civilians it's brought yemen to the brink of famine with the u.n. saying it is the world's worst humanitarian crisis. of peace. they will resume food distribution following the festival for the 850000 people inside the city who have not received food rations from devry f.p. for the last 2 months. an estimated 80 for shame to yemen's

so there are like four artillery battalions flying artillery battalions in the army. one was led by braxton brag. who you probably recognize his name from the civil war in fort bragg. he was one of the outstanding ones. in fact, at buena vista he performed tremendously. and was at this pivotal part of the battle. but the european tactics, winfield scott was a student of as far as infantry tactics go. he was a student of napoleon. he read "the art of war." and carried it. he had a whole library that he carried around with him. and he -- scott had fought in the war of 1812 and he had been forced into a couple situations where he had to fight defensively. and he was wounded. and it was really a bad situation and campaign in canada. he vowed that he'd never fight defensively again. he would always go on the offensive. so he's studying napoleonic tactics. and he came up with his method was to never attack the front always attack the flanks. faint going this way, go this way. taylor was just the opposite. he would fix bayonets and charge straight ahead. but scott was not on

the army training almost like a cyber battalion.is, we are all very used now to cyber attacks, while the telegraph is saying is that there was a series of fa ke saying is that there was a series of fake news put out by what they think is the russian army, against some uk military exercises information recently. putting out pieces of social media suggesting one of the uk divisions was all over the place, going awry, its classic fact news in the way that we've heard in other areas. uk army, british army, setting up six divisions to combat that with its own form of fake news or at least counteracting some of these bits of disinformation been put up by the russians. as another story of the telegraph which i'm very keen to get to. shoppers baffled by the various recycling symbols was stop to think they could appoint? they've got a huge point. the telegraph is found 58 different ones and were going to have a test, and even though i been trying to honour practice —— practice before the test, i'm still struggling was to use at 58 also? let'

for this pro-government battalions where defeated said the other. it follows several days of intense clashes in aden with residents caught in the crossfire. the war began 5 years ago when escalated in 2015 when a saudi led military coalition intervened in support of the country's embattled government after the who these took the capital sanaa. tens of thousands of people have been killed in the conflict the vast majority of them civilians the u.n. calls it the world's worst humanitarian crisis an estimated 80 percent of yemen's population requires some form of protection or humanitarian assistance and millions of children are suffering from severe malnutrition. after the outbreak of fighting in aden the aid agency doctors without borders describe the city as a battlefield as civilians continue to bear the brunt of this ongoing conflict. now to some of the other stories making news around the world. a shooting at a mosque in norway on saturday that left one man injured is being investigated as a possible act of terrorism and police say that the suspe

so there were four artillery battalions, flying artillery battalions and one of them was led by braxton brag and you probably recognize his name in the civil war of fort bragg. he was one of the outstanding ones. he, in account fa, fact, in bue performed tremendously and was in this pivotal part of the battle, but as far as the european tactics, winfield scott was a student of -- as far as infantry tactics go. he was a student of napoleon. he read joe meany's book, the art of war and carried it and actually had a whole library that that he carried around with him, and he -- scott had fought in the war of 1812 and he'd been forced into a couple of situations where he had to fight defensively and he was wounded and it was really a bad situation in the campaign in canada. he vowed that he'd never fight defensively again. he would never go on the offensive and he was studying n napoleonic tactics and his method was never to attack the front and always attack the feint. going this way and this way. taylor was just the opposite. he would fix bayonets and charge straight ahead and scott was no

i'm going to chat now with battalion chief jim hunter, with contra costa fires.ll me about these fibers? how many of them started overnight? >> the fire came in about 3:15 a.m. and we found about eight different fires burning. and so right now, it's at about 500-plus acres. don't have the containment exactly yet. some fires are still not contained. >> we're seeing a lot of homes and ranches around this area. are people in danger? >> i would say not now. they were at the beginning. because the fire was burning, and we didn't have enough resources here. we've called in several resources now. so we're getting it contained as we speak. >> are a lot of homes still threatened? >> up on some of the flights, i'm not sure. the ones in the area we're stant standing at right here were not. we have this area of the fire contained. >> what can you tell us about this terrain? >> the terrain is very steep. it's -- some of it is only walkable. we have bulldozers also out there, putting the fire out. and some we cannot drive on. it makes the access egress difficult for us. >> we

conferences where a number of countries already pledged money they do want to bring in training for 7 battalions from 5 states in the area or who all ready to be trained but needs money and that's money the french president and german chancellor angela merkel made clear is technically there now it is the donors will have to send it so the project is still open for other countries to join but effective few what they want to do is train that army so that they can fight terrorism in the saw him reach. mathis in berets thanks for that. now to some of the other stories making news around the world. israel says its air force has hit targets in syria to prevent a drone strike on its territory warplanes struck overnight south of the syrian capital damascus israel's prime minister claims his forces thwarted an attack by iran and syria says it shot down the incoming missiles. in greece 2 people have been arrested in the south of the country on suspicion of starting wildfires one of them is accused of having done so 3 times hot dry and windy weather has helped fuel the fires across the country almost 700 f

to build a helicopter battalion. you can get the people, maybe. maybe you'll have enough time to train them and organize them. but the equipment is going to be a long pull in the tent. before you lose sleep over that, the enemies are going to engage if they are even going to have a hope against us. have to fight to some degree in the same way we fight, unless it's an unconventional fight like afghanistan. then they can fight the way they want. but those aren't typically going to be existential threats to the united states. it's the major combat operations that will be those kind of threats. the china, china, chinas, the russias, those are probably the ones and really it's the china, china, china one. and if those existential threats emerge, they can't come at us with something that isn't matched to what we can do. and then they have to think about their budget and how they organize and bring their folks in. you've seen china shrink their armies dramatically to professionalize them and equip them in ways competitive so i would suggest that the -- w

impressed by that either it says that given the current posture and capability including the european battalions and rotational u.s. armored brigade combat team russia still enjoys a substantial time distance advantage in the initial days and weeks of a conventional ground campaign in the baltic states that's the reality of geo geography and the fact that russia does in fact sit as the great land power in eurasia that's a fact of history yeah but i do forces are not providing the parents that you promised i don't know why you keep saying that you're sorry i'm not sorry yes we're going to live sorting some reports that have come out at. i'm terribly amused by those rand reports you know i work for random the 1980 s. they said exactly the same thing during the cold war so the fact of the matter is everybody gave up there's just no no they don't make it up but they are repeating you know what is based on a reality of the geopolitics and the geography of eurasia what we can do is ensure that russia knows all 29 allies are prepared to act and are prepared to reinforce and that has proven during the c

before the ima detachment i was a part of their combat support battalion, active-duty. and, before that, i was in okinawa, japan. i've deployed to afghanistan, iraq, and for kina faso in western africa for people not familiar with the african continent. and i did some short deployments throughout asia when i was attached to third intel battalion in open our. >-- in okinawa. >> i'm currently the deputy commandant for information in the pentagon. i came there by way of our congressional fellowship. i spent all 2017 on the hill working for senator in my payback to her now. before that i cut my teeth as a communications offers in the second marine division in camp legend. when i showed up i was at a division comm company first learning on about my job but after doing a deployment to afghanistan i went to our second assault amphibian battalion. i was one of the first women there, which is one of the battalions that runs are amphibious vehicles. now i'm here. >> thank you so much. i really hope that this is a free-flowing discussion. any question i throw out, anyone can answe
