CHARLESTON, S.C., Jan. 18, 2008 – Just before rolling the mine-resistant, ambush-protected vehicle they’ve spent the last several hours configuring with electronics for shipment to Iraq or Afghanistan, crews at the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command here slip a simple 8-and-a-half-by-11-inch certificate onto the dashboard.

Collins described his team as a “band of brothers” that understands the importance of its work. Photo by Donna Miles
