An airman from the 728th Battle Management Control Squadron held a patch gifted to his team by the 103rd Airlift Wing Commander, Major Jonathon Bopp. Twelve airmen from the 728th BMCS traveled from Georgia to Connecticut to participate in an exercise, which involved remote control of live aircraft—namely F-22 Raptors from the 1st Fighter Wing out of Joint Base Langley-Eustis. The training focused on providing tactical-level control of airborne assets, and it gave Robins' personnel the opportunity to earn critical live control experience required for Combat Mission Ready (CMR) status.
