The United States crew is a combination of Air Force troops stationed at Ramstein Germany, San Diego California, and Hickam Air Force Base Hawaii. Four Geospatial Imagery Analysts from No 87 Squadron at RAAF Edinburgh complete the team in this joint exercise, allowing both sides to share skill sets, and be exposed to the civilian satellite technology.
