Turning Operational Needs into Battlefield Capabilities 🇺🇸 🖊️

Yesterday, Alpena CRTC made Col. Joshua Rasmussen, director of the Air Force Research Laboratory's Technology Maneuver Division, an offer he couldn’t refuse: a 🚁 tour showcasing Michigan’s unique geography and vast training opportunities… with a little fall splendor along the way! 🍁

From the air, Col. Rasmussen got a firsthand look at the all-domain training environment that makes Michigan a valuable partner for research, development, and innovation.

With support from the Joint Experimentation Warfighting Laboratory (JEWL) 💎 at Alpena CRTC, the visit concluded with the signing of an MOA between AFRL and the National All-Domain Warfighting Center. This partnership will help turn urgent operational requirements into fielded prototypes, giving our warfighters an edge on the battlefield.

Work hard. Play Hard. 🐾

This week, the National Association of Professional Canine Handlers is conducting training at Alpena CRTC.

Law enforcement K-9 teams are strengthening their skills locating narcotics, pursuing "suspects," and conducting familiarization exercises to ensure their four-legged partners know the difference between fellow officers and potential threats.

We're as proud to host these teams as their K-9s are to find drugs!
