A new system, using government-owned and -leased fiber-optic cabling technology, will allow voice, video and data transfer at higher rates. The airmen are assigned to the 1st Communications Maintenance Squadron at Kapaun Air Station, Germany. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Franklin J. Perkins)
