Maintaining Communications Throughout the AOR

Many people are familiar with what the outside of a "golf ball" radome looks like but what is not so familiar is what's inside the radome. The dominant piece of equipment is a 38 foot antenna which makes up the largest part of the OE-222 Antenna Group. This equipment is used to transmit and receive RF signals to and from various communication satellites out in space. The 379th Expeditionary Communications Squadron Satellite Communications work center operates and maintains the equipment at an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia, Mar. 30, 2009, in support of Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom and Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa.
