KWAJALEIN ATOLL, RMI - After several weeks of coordination, a team of senior enlisted non-commissioned officers from the United States Strategic Command, United States Space and Strategic Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command, Naval Network Warfare Command, and 1st Space Brigade visited U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll/Reagan Test Site July 28 and 29, 2009. During their brief time here, the team was given mission area tours of the Reagan Test Site, Kiernan Reentry Measurement Suite and telemetry tours on Roi-Namur, boat orientations of Enniburr and Ebeye islands where much of the local Marshallese work force resides, and a reef island overview by helicopter with a visit to Meck Island.
