General Lord Awards

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. – Lt. Col. Mafwa Kuvibidila, 20th Space Control Squadron commander, center, received the General Lance W. Lord Award on behalf of her squadron for most outstanding unit in the 21st Operations Group. The 20th SPCS collected 11 million observations on earth-orbiting satellites, including debris, allied systems and adversary systems. They increased lost object detection by 200 percent by creating specialized radar search fences based on orbital predictions and founded a multi-national space situational awareness working group, which identified more than 30 cutting edge initiatives and optimized space operations for the joint fight.
