SSgt Jones is the Bravo team leader of the vehicle dispatch section and supervises SrA Powell, A1C James, and Amn Brook. SSgt Jones and his team members are currently deployed and have just been tasked to help train host nation personnel in similar duties that the team performs. SSgt Jones briefs his Airmen on the task and finds that they are extremely reluctant and apprehensive about performing the mission. His subordinates indicate that they don‘t think they should be providing this training. Their reasons range from classification issues to ―they‘re not from the U.S.‖ His first thought is to just ignore them.

While the information was accurate, they lacked the ability to apply the knowledge into a real time situation and it lacked knowledge of the host nation capabilities and requirements. SSgt Green notices the discrepancy during her review prior to going forward. SSgt Green is in a dilemma about what to do with her Airmen. She knows that her Airmen are technically smart and work well when together.
