WEBVTT

00:00:00.734 --> 00:00:03.336
Through the relationship with DOD and SOCOM

00:00:03.336 --> 00:00:08.041
we've been able to pull almost 200 vehicles from DOD.

00:00:08.041 --> 00:00:10.477
At a savings of approximately $7 million.

00:00:18.551 --> 00:00:20.520
The DOD Reutilization Program

00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:22.188
gives us an excellent opportunity

00:00:22.188 --> 00:00:25.558
to go out and work with our DOD partners

00:00:25.558 --> 00:00:28.128
and specifically with U.S. Special Operations Command

00:00:28.128 --> 00:00:31.131
to find equipment that still has the lifecycle

00:00:31.131 --> 00:00:34.367
that can be realized in the Homeland Security mission space.

00:00:34.968 --> 00:00:37.971
The MRZR platform has been within CBP

00:00:37.971 --> 00:00:40.173
now for approximately six years,

00:00:40.173 --> 00:00:45.045
and we've recently had another opportunity to requisition

00:00:45.045 --> 00:00:48.481
six vehicles with approximately

00:00:48.481 --> 00:00:49.849
80 additional vehicles

00:00:49.849 --> 00:00:52.052
coming in the next quarter or so.

00:00:52.452 --> 00:00:54.654
It's great for general patrol,

00:00:55.388 --> 00:00:57.390
search and rescue.

00:00:57.390 --> 00:00:59.793
There's just many different uses of this

00:00:59.793 --> 00:01:02.395
platform that support CBP as a whole.

00:01:02.796 --> 00:01:04.964
Having a vehicle platform like this

00:01:04.964 --> 00:01:08.768
gives us greater access to the areas that we we patrol

00:01:08.768 --> 00:01:12.105
and many of these areas are very arduous areas.

00:01:12.105 --> 00:01:14.107
So having the ability

00:01:14.107 --> 00:01:16.843
to have this type of vehicle

00:01:16.843 --> 00:01:18.645
to be able to get us to places

00:01:18.645 --> 00:01:20.213
that are very difficult

00:01:20.213 --> 00:01:23.583
saves time and in many cases saves lives.

00:01:24.017 --> 00:01:25.552
And the fact that we were able

00:01:25.552 --> 00:01:28.054
to get at these at no cost to CBP,

00:01:28.354 --> 00:01:30.557
it's a great win for the taxpayers.

00:01:30.557 --> 00:01:32.092
It's a great win for CBP,

00:01:32.425 --> 00:01:33.393
for the American people,

00:01:33.393 --> 00:01:36.463
because so often we have things

00:01:36.463 --> 00:01:39.232
that are sitting in one organization

00:01:39.232 --> 00:01:40.767
that aren't being fully utilized

00:01:40.767 --> 00:01:42.802
and be able to pull that away

00:01:42.802 --> 00:01:45.505
and be able to put it directly back into the mission.

00:01:45.505 --> 00:01:47.640
It's a huge win for CBP.
