Technicians at the Warner Robins Air Logistics Center in Georgia maintain the US military’s Global Positioning System receivers, serving as the central warehouse for developing and testing software for GPS receivers. The technicians comprise the Joint Service System Management Office under WRALC’s 752nd Combat Sustainment Group, but they come from all the services.
