Guardian Arena medals are shown during the opening ceremony of the third annual Guardian Arena at Kennedy Space Center, Fla., Dec. 8, 2025. Thirty-five teams, comprised of United States Space Force Guardians, United States Air Force Airmen, civilians, and representatives from international allies and partners, participated in the world’s largest Space Force exercise. The competition provides the opportunity to emphasize the continuous importance of cultivating a combat-ready mindset, link military and civilian space enterprises, and instill esprit de corps with an opportunity to operationalize the Guardian Ideals.
