the first 24 hours of air operations was really a radical change in the construct of military operationsn warfare. able to do is to put together an operation that was based not just on technology but a different approach to the planning and orchestration of military operations. hours we had targeted over 150 separate discrete targets across the breadth and the depth of a rock. not just geoeographically, but the centers of gravity. those were more targets that were hit in the years of 1942 and 1943 combined. the way we werable to do with is bececause of a combination of advanced technologies in conjunction with an effects-based approach to the execution of the operations. simply interest-rate in destroying destruction, we were interested in creating specific effects across the critic centers of gravity that made up the saddam regime and the iraqi military regime. it was amazing in terms of our ability to succeed in publishing those objectives. if i might give you and your audience and example of what i'm talking about, when i use the terms effects-based, if you look at one of the original

>> well it affects our operations because there are more people operating up here. >> more tourists, more ships, and no more illustration of change than this - during the summer of 2015 - offshore oil exploration, as shell begins test drilling in the chukchi sea. >> what are the unique challenges to responding to a disaster in the arctic? >> well the unique challenges are the distance we have from any one port. the lack of resources and infrastructure aside from ourselves that can make it challenging. >> but the healy is designed to do more than respond in tough circumstances - it's also a floating science lab. here scientists work side by side with the coast guard to study the changing arctic and develop technology that will function in one of the world's harshest environments. this summer - techknow is invited aboard for the mission. along with several scientists, our instructions are to meet up with the ship outside the port of nome, alaska. we're issued these orange suits, called mustangs. protection in case someone goes overboard. a fall into frigid waters could mean death withi

ongoinge some operations to do things like psychological operations. dropping leaflets and trying to to -- or encourage fighters to throw down their arms. is difficult to get an idea of the effectiveness of those. it could and your fighting career abruptly. that is kind of what it looks like. >> i have two questions. give us an update about the ninth arrayed that the coalition is conducting -- and if this type is being coordinated with the iraqi government. my second question is, what is being done to secure the city and the iraqi buildings. do you think this is something essential in the fight against isil? we have saidrtin: that raids are part of the strategy. he also said we will not get into the details of these raids. i can tell you there is been a lot of reporting in the iraqi , 100% that it is wrong. on the borders, certainly securing the border between the rack and syria is of great interest -- iraq and syria is of great interest to this coalition. i know when the secretary of that would beced in expeditionary targeting force that would partner

operations came large. so they either stopped paying, and that would hurt morale, they're breaking their promise to their members' families, and it was hurting their operations. we found a statistical relationship between the number of money that they sent to a specific area and the level of attacks in that area. so as we degrade their ability to raise money, we're also degrading their ability to krukt operations and-- degrade operations and we're hurting their morale >>> all that you've described about their attacks on areas, the low price of oil, the limits we're trying to put on money getting in and out, there has been some changes in some of the gulf states in terms of laws that now make it a crime to send money to i.s.i.l. fighters, are they substantially degraded financially from where they were a year ago? >> they are degraded. i would not say they're substantially degraded. the recent air strikes did harm their oil rev news. before that it was estimated they were making $40 million dollars a month.

no. 2, operations of the center, operations and maintenance of the center could be a significant revenue source for the private sector master lessee and a third point that a private sector would be interested in this is the fact that they could control and they could sort of program major open spaces and public spaces in the facility, including the 5.4-acre rooftop park, and the urban/public spaces in the fulfillment itself such as at grand hall and other pedestrian cut-throughs. we see the transbay center and the master lessee essentially serving four different customer segments. as you well know, this is right now very vibrant office district. there is about 18 million square feet, 18,000 workers are currently there. most of them -- at least half of them are in professional services, it or financial services. significantly high sort of wages and salaries. this is only going to grow. the next five or six years, the projections are for another 7 million square feet of class a space including 1.4 million force. 37,000 commuters would use this facility on a week day basic, a significant ma

what is an operating system exactly? >> guest: so an operating system is, it's really the most essential piece of software on any computer. so when i type, you know, a k on my keyboard, it needs to, you know, the chip needs to know that i've done that, and it needs to respond to that in a way that's useful. and the operating system allows the hardware and the software to communicate with each other so that when we try to do things, those things actually happen. and so when i use a word processer, i may be typing, you know, craig timberg, but it then goes to an operating system which then communicates with the hardware and allows the craig timberg to appear on my screen. so it's really the foundational software of everything that we use. >> host: how many operating systems are widely used today? >> guest: you know, it depends what you mean by "widely used." there's all sorts of narrow, proprietary operating systems that work, for example, only in a certain kind of machinery or only in a certain kind of, you know, maybe ve

what doe that mean as far as operational readiness. while you may not be able to keep aircraft there what does that mean as far as training missions? what happens in reduction in training missions? what happens in deployment schedules? what happens with all the things that potentially stack up? if you can take the next step and that is in generating readiness making sure as your air wings are coming in there doing pre-deployment training or doing work ups to go for the carrier to leave give me an example about how that infrastructure, how that installation support, how that facilities capability totally affects what you're having to generate every day. >> thanks for the question, sir. what helps is i was a recipient of this customer service for the last 24 years and having operated oceania for a majority of my career both as a young pilot and squadron level i recognize making sure the runway is available when we have sorties available. we have a $100 million project to replace the ageing lighting on our airfield. it's 1950 technology.

[laughter] >> was the guy who led the special operation's operation to get him out of there. an amazing story. i won't get into all the details. they used these in landing airplanes and he got within -- within 24 hours, within 18 hours, they had berlin shaking hands with hitler. that was the kind of stuff that skortzini did. he was one of the people who was likely to have been involved in this thing but it's -- after the the war, there were a lot of denials about this whole operation. in his memoirs largely deny any involvement in it but in later conversations he admitted that, yeah, he had been part of it but he did not actually go to tehran. that would have made a great story. maybe in the version story it would have. .. >> that is a very good question and one that i got into briefly. in the book. both churchill and stalin did wear uniforms. stalin did have a military rank so under the rules of war they would have been fair game haag. do you think is bought third? when hitler signed off on this operation they didn't care. >> your description of close german ties with iran h
