Thirty-five teams, comprised of U.S. Space Force Guardians, U.S. Air Force Airmen, civilians, and representatives from international allies and partners, took part in the world’s largest Space Force exercise. The competition emphasizes the importance of cultivating a combat-ready mindset, connecting military and civilian space enterprises, and building esprit de corps by putting the Guardian Ideals into action.
