(U.S. Space Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Luke Kitterman) “We have ‘space’ in our unit’s name and most people associate that with the operators but I don’t think anyone has such a closer relationship to the system as us,” said Sanchez Avila. “We know the ins and outs of the equipment and antennas—how to set them up, tear down, keep them clean and we are the ones that fix the issues to get the system working again. I take great pride in what I do because I know what I do directly effects boots on the ground.”
