U.S. Space Force 5th Anniversary
Established on December 20, 2019, the United States Space Force is the sixth military branch in the U.S. Armed Forces. Military and civilian members of the Space Force are called Guardians, a term that traces back to "Guardians of the High Frontier." This was the command motto of Air Force Space Command, the organization that evolved into what we know today as the U.S. Space Force. Guardians are uniquely and specifically trained and educated in warfighting activities in, from, and to space.
The Space Force organizes, trains and equips personnel in order to protect U.S. and allied interests in space and to provide space capabilities to the joint forces. To that end, the Space Force manages space launch operations at the East and West Cost Space Launch Deltas. These bases provide services, facilities and range safety control to conduct DOD, NASA and commercial space launches.
Through the command and control of all DOD satellites, satellite operators provide force-multiplying effects - continuous global coverage, low vulnerability and autonomous operations. Satellites provide in-theater secure communications; weather and navigation for ground, air and fleet operations; and threat warning.
Ground-based and space-based systems monitor ballistic missile launches around the world to guard against surprise missile attacks. A global network of space surveillance sensors provides vital information on the location of satellites and space debris for the nation and the world. Maintaining space superiority is an emerging capability required to protect U.S. space assets from hostile attacks.
