Air Force Staff Sgt. Jared Nelson, 621st Contingency Response Support Squadron wing operation center controller, attaches a support beam during assembly of the vertical pallet stacker prototype April 12, 2022, at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey. The VPS is projected to save the CRW $22K per sortie for exercise and real-world operations by reducing the demand of aircraft pallet positioning by up to 50 percent. The VPS is an Air Force Research Laboratory project designed to promote Agile Combat Employment while promoting the multi-capable Airmen concept.
