U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Wes Ekwall, 727th Air Mobility Squadron commander and Maj. Andy Pelletier, 727th AMS director of operations speak to the personnel of the 727th AMS on their achievements that earned them the AMC Terminal of the Year award at RAF Mildenhall, England.
The Royal Spark innovation team at RAF Mildenhall developed the USAF High Aerobic Multi-Shuttle Run Pacer Unit V1, an affordable device that helps Airmen maintain the correct pace during the Air Force fitness test. Unlike the standard test, which relies only on audio cues, the new system combines synchronized lights and official audio to provide clear visual pacing, helping users conserve energy and improve performance.
