The 22nd Space Operations Squadron will once again represent the 50th Space Wing during the 2010 Guardian Challenge competition.
During a score posting event held in the main fitness center Feb. 1, scores for each of the competing teams were revealed slowly, as numbers flashed across a giant screen, finally settling and revealing the score for the winning squadron, 22nd SOPS.
The Guardian Challenge competition traces its roots to Strategic Air Command. It began in 1967 as a missile combat competition between combat crews and combat targeting and aligning teams and was called “Curtain Raiser.” The competition was renamed Guardian Challenge in 1994 to reflect Air Force Space Command’s motto, “Guardians of the High Frontier.” Today, the competition pits the best space operations crew, security forces team, and space communication team against each other and determines the top space wing teams in the Air Force.
