The Space Force has selected Patrick Space Force Base in Florida as the headquarters for its Space Training and Readiness Command (STARCOM), responsible for education, training, and development of space professionals. The base will also include Space Delta 10, which is responsible for wargaming and tactics. Colorado and New Mexico were selected to host STARCOM's other two deltas. The decision comes after years of surveys and analyses to find the most suitable locations, and officials had long hoped Florida would get at least some part of STARCOM considering that Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and Kennedy Space Center make up the busiest spaceport in the world.
