Best defense: A good ‘offensive’

Spc. 4 Jacob Raulie, 4th Space Operations Squadron mobile military satellite communications operator, stands guard as fellow team members set up a mobile constellation control station lightning protection system in support of the Front Range Offensive exercise at Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site, Colorado, June 3, 2025. Members of 4 SOPS deployed to PCMS to build a better understanding of operating under extreme field conditions over a continuous 24-hour period for an entire week, including sleeping in cots, eating MREs — [Meals, Ready-to-Eat] — and maintaining site integrity without departures.
