That includes such activities as developing new satellites, acquiring commercial space services, launching Department of Defense satellites into orbit and testing new space systems on orbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SSC will be located at Los Angeles Air Force Base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prior to the redesignation, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2021\/07\/14\/biden-nominates-deputy-director-of-the-national-reconnaissance-office-to-lead-new-space-systems-command\/\">Maj. Gen. Michael Guetlein was named commander of SSC<\/a> and promoted to a three-star lieutenant general. Guetlein will effectively replace SMC Commander Lt. Gen. John Thompson, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2021\/07\/27\/commander-of-the-space-and-missile-systems-center-retires\/\">who retired in July<\/a> after a 36-year career in the military. Guetlein previously served as the deputy director of the National Reconnaissance Office, the agency in charge of America\u2019s spy satellites, where he assisted the director in managing operations while overseeing the Space Force guardians assigned to the agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA critical task of the SSC commander and of the Space Force is unifying effort across the entire national security landscape. Lt. Gen. Guetlein has the network and the record of accomplishment to get that done,\u201d said Chief of Space Operations Gen. Jay Raymond during the Aug. 13 redesignation ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/space\/2021\/05\/07\/house-defense-leader-space-force-hasnt-met-expectations-for-speedy-tech\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/49698967057_bf0dfc3e27_k.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">House Defense leader: Space Force hasn\u2019t met expectations for speedy tech<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense Chair Rep. Betty McCollum says she is disappointed by the lack of space acquisition reforms under the U.S. Space Force.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guetlein was replaced by Maj. Gen. Donna D. Shipton, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nro.gov\/Portals\/65\/documents\/news\/press\/2021\/2021-03-Shipton_ChangeofCommand.pdf\">who took over as NRO deputy director<\/a> after serving as director of strategic plans, programs, requirements and analyses at Air Force Materiel Command headquarters Aug. 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SSC is the second of three Space Force field commands to be designated, following the October 2020 creation of Space Operations Command, or SpOC, which is in charge of operating the service\u2019s satellites. The Space Force is expected to officially establish the third field command \u2014 the Space Training and Readiness Command \u2014 in the coming weeks. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2021\/06\/16\/space-forces-new-delta-organizations-will-help-the-service-keep-up-with-growing-launch-cadence\/\">The deltas<\/a> that will make up STARCOM, which will educate and train guardians, have been operating under SpOC to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The highly anticipated SSC is not exactly the same organization <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2020\/10\/01\/the-space-force-to-establish-new-acquisitions-command-in-2021\/\">previewed by the Space Force in 2020<\/a>. Neither the Space Rapid Capabilities Office nor the Space Development Agency will be part of SSC, instead reporting directly to the chief of space operations. The Air Force Research Laboratory\u2019s space-related activities will remain under its commander while being under SSC\u2019s administrative control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SSC will include all of the units assigned to SMC, as well as several Air Force units that will be transferred to the Space Force. That includes the Strategic Warning and Surveillance Systems Division, which is in charge of ground-based radars, missile warning, space domain awareness, missile defense and shared early-warning capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps the most significant part of the reorganization under SSC is the unification of the service\u2019s launch enterprise under the SSC deputy commander. SSC will take over Space Launch Delta 30 at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, and Space Launch Delta 45 at Patrick Space Force Base, Florida.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Space Systems Command is the second of three planned field commands, and it will be in charge of acquiring most of the Space Force&#8217;s
