The slogan '24/7/365 support to the warfighter,' is taken very seriously by members of the 1st Space Battalion. That slogan carries Space Soldiers across the globe to support ongoing combat operations and a wide variety of exercises. 'We have had a continuous presence in the war since it began,' said LTC Lee Gizzi, former 1st Space Battalion commander. 'Our people continue to be in harm's way to support the Joint warfighters on the ground and they do a magnificent job.' The testament to Gizzi's comment is that the coalition forces continue to support the deployment of Space Soldiers. The Joint Tactical Ground Stations (JTAGS), Commercial Exploitation Team (CET) and Army Space Support Teams (ARSST) in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom provide key planning and operational capabilities for commanders on the ground.
