US SPACECOM Achieves Full Operational Capability—in Colorado

Dec. 17,2023

U.S. Space Command declared full operational capability Dec. 15, four years after the nation’s 11th combatant command was established—and before it has a permanent home base.

“Thanks to the disciplined initiative of our people and the support of our joint, combined, and partnered team, I can confidently say we have reached full operational capability,” SPACECOM commander Army Gen. James Dickinson told his headquarters team during a command town hall at its home station on Peterson Space Force Base, Colo.
