Former Secretary of the Air Force, Dr. James G. Roche, will serve as the keynote speaker for the event. The state-of-the-art complex will enhance the training capabilities and ensure a quality educational experience for AST students preparing to meet the challenge of the 21st century battlefield. The facility will be dedicated in honor of Staff Sgt. Casey Crate, Capt. Derek Argel and Capt. Jeremy Fresques. The facility will be called the "Crate Center of Excellence" which encompasses the Argel Aquatic Center and the Fresques Auditorium. In conjunction with this event, the 720th STG will also dedicate Servais Way, the street adjacent to the new AST facility, in honor of Senior Airman Adam Servais.
