Originally Published 2 years ago — by C4ISRNET
After more than four years since its reinstatement, the US Space Command has announced that it is now fully operational. The milestone signifies that the command meets the criteria to execute its mission of delivering space capabilities to military users and combatant commanders. Achieving full operational capability required meeting various requirements, including demonstrating operational responsibilities, developing a skilled workforce, and establishing the necessary infrastructure and processes. The selection of a permanent headquarters for the command has been a contentious process, involving reviews from government watchdog agencies and debates between states. The command achieved initial operations in 2021 and has now reached full operational capability.
