Professional bad guys: Space aggressors prepare Airmen for the enemy

From left, Staff Sgt. Erick Vega, an avionics specialist with the 555th Fighter Squadron out of Aviano Air Base, Italy, attempts to figure out why the space systems on his F-16 Fighting Falcon aren't working correctly, while Chief Master Sgt. Tony Russell, a Red Flag Inspector General evaluator, observers. Airmen from the 527th Space Aggressor Squadron attempt to challenge Red Flag participants by posing attacks on space assets, simulating a potential attack by the enemy. "We challenge space forces to get better. And they do," said Capt. Brian Goodman, 527th SAG. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. David Salanitri)
