PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. (AFPN) -- Guardian Challenge, the Air Force's premier space and missile competition, reached its zenith after dinner the evening of May 9 as competitors anxiously awaited the results of the contest.
Riding a wave of enthusiastic chanting, Gen. C. Robert Kehler, the commander of Air Force Space Command, took the stage and reminded the crowd of the crucial importance of skill-honing competitions such as Guardian Challenge.

Competitions were held at bases around AFSPC since March, pitting against one another approximately 200 space professionals in space communications; missile maintenance; spacelift launch; security forces and operations.
