The cheerleaders learned about the Det. 2 Ground-based Electro Optical Deep Space Surveillance mission to detect, track and identify space objects. Det. 2, located in the Indian Ocean, is one of the 21st Space Wing’s geographically separated units conducting precise and disciplined missile warning, missile defense and space control operations. The trip was sponsored by the Morale, Welfare and Recreation and sends entertainers around the globe to support deployed servicemembers overseas. (U.S. Air Force photo/Bruce Chatfield)
