    Pennsylvania State Rep. Russ Diamond, right, presents Maj. Stephen McNamara, 148th Air Support Operations Squadron detachment commander, a certificate at a ribbon cutting ceremony and demonstration at Fort Indiantown Gap, Pa., Sept. 2, 2015. The ceremony highlighted the Pennsylvania National Guard’s 148th ASOS’s new Air National Guard Advanced Joint Terminal Attack Controller Training Simulator Building. The simulator helps Airmen develop the solid fundamentals necessary to become tomorrow’s battlefield Airmen and keep their present joint terminal attack controllers current in their air control requirements. The simulator is also a joint readiness tool for their Army National Guard counterparts. Together, they will now be able to conduct more realistic joint fires observer training; allowing qualified enlisted and junior officers to conduct Calls for Fire in a complex battlespace. They can also train joint forces in medevac 9-lines and emergency close air support which will aid in the capability development for their aligned Army units. This simulator is truly a force multiplier for both the Pennsylvania Army and Air National Guard. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Master Sgt. Culeen Shaffer/Released)

    A ribbon-cutting ceremony is taking place in front of a building, likely a military facility. Two civilians in dark suits are cutting a blue ribbon with large ceremonial scissors, flanked by two military personnel in camouflage uniforms. One uniform is U.S. Army and the other is U.S. Air Force, suggesting a joint military or government facility dedication.
    A U.S. Air Force service member named McNamara, wearing ABU (Airman Battle Uniform) and a black beret with a gold oak leaf cluster insignia, is receiving a certificate or commendation from a civilian official. The blue document is visibly from 'The House of Representatives of Pennsylvania.' The ceremony appears to be taking place outdoors near a military facility with a field tent in the background.
    A soldier in camouflage uniform is using a tripod-mounted optical/targeting device inside a military simulation training environment. The surrounding curved screen displays a projected virtual terrain resembling an arid, mountainous landscape with green HUD-style data overlays. Electronic control units and cables are visible on the floor around the operator.
    A military operator in camouflage uniform sits at a multi-monitor workstation wearing a headset, appearing to operate what looks like a drone or aircraft ground control station. Multiple screens display aerial imagery, flight instruments, and mapping data. A group of observers, including military personnel and civilians, stand in the background watching the demonstration.
    Military personnel in Air Force camouflage uniforms (ABU pattern) are observing a large-screen combat simulation system. One soldier is actively engaged inside the simulator, visible in silhouette against a projected outdoor terrain environment. A civilian and several uniformed personnel appear to be receiving a demonstration or briefing about the simulation technology.
    Two military personnel are inside what appears to be a simulation training facility with a large wraparound projected screen displaying a mountainous, arid terrain environment. One soldier stands facing the simulation screen wearing a combat helmet and tactical vest, while another sits or stands to the left reviewing notes and wearing headset ear protection. A third helmet is visible resting on equipment to the right.
