VANDENBERG AFB, Calif. --  The 9th Space Operations Squadron, a reserve associate unit which supports the 614 Air Operations Center and Joint Space Operations Center mission, recently garnered the 2010 Air Force Reserve Command Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance Outstanding Intelligence Division of the Year award.

The 23-person 9th SOPS ISR division, led by Lt. Col. Josh Redden, partnered closely with its active duty counterparts in 2010 to make significant contributions with global impact.
The team, made up of full- and part-time reservists, contributed more than 340 shifts,  4,000 hours, and 750 mandays to support the JSPOC mission.

Their activities included space and missile event analysis, intel product builds for combatant commanders, and analysis/inputs for real-time events such as the gulf oil spill, combat search and rescue activities, and space object identification.
