251 Years at the Tip of the Spear

For 251 years, Marines have met every fight with resolve, precision, and an ethos that never wavers. The first to fight and the last to yield. America sleeps well because Marines stand the watch.

Happy Birthday, Marines. Semper Fidelis.

Proud to recognize the legacy of the Defense Support Program satellites and the generations who operated it. For more than 50 years, DSP provided critical warning to our Nation and the joint force. Its impact endures as Guardians build the next era of missile warning. Semper Supra!

[General Douglas A. Schiess @SpaceForceCSO]

Always great to catch up with Lt. Gen. Gagnon and Chief Rozneck! Your continued leadership at Combat Forces Command is key to ensuring Guardians stay prepared and combat-ready to support the Joint Force.

[General Douglas A. Schiess @SpaceForceCSO]

CMSSF Bentivegna and I had a blast celebrating @af_academy win over UConn! Excited to serve with these future Airmen and Guardians!

[General Douglas A. Schiess @SpaceForceCSO]

HISTORY MADE!

Congratulations to the 35 new Guardians who graduated from Officer Training School on Oct. 23, more than doubling the size of previous Space Force classes. #SemperSupra

[General Douglas A. Schiess @SpaceForceCSO]

Great visit with Gen. Guillot and Chief Storms this week to discuss the Space Force's continued partnership and commitment to defend the homeland.

[U.S. Northern Command @USNorthernCmd]

Defending North America demands decisive superiority in the space domain. This week, @NORADCommand and USNORTHCOM welcomed Gen. Douglas Schiess, Chief of Space Operations, and Chief Master Sergeant of the Space Force John Bentivegna to our headquarters at Peterson Space Force Base. Leadership engaged on integrated space tracking, missile warning, and the operational synchronization required to safeguard the ultimate high ground. #WeHaveTheWatch

[Space Systems Command @USSF_SSC]

Not just rocket science.🚀#USSF Brig. Gen. Eric Zarybnisky, PAE for Space Access, opened his address at Space Industry Days with a discussion of the future architectural, operational, and business vision for national spaceport infrastructure. https://t.co/9w3rRqGMqE

[General Douglas A. Schiess @SpaceForceCSO]

Guardians are a vital part of the Joint Force. Space capabilities are no longer a ‘nice to have.’ They are a ‘need to have.’

Space Force electromagnetic warfare systems are playing a key role in U.S. military operations around the world. WSJ’s Shelby Holliday visited a base in Colorado to learn more. https://t.co/8sK9D0CQB6

[Space Systems Command @USSF_SSC]

See the new issue of SSC’s Capability Delivery Bulletin to learn how space acquisition is a warfighting capability & how we're committed to delivering at the speed of need. This is an overview of milestones in space acquisition that empower our Nation: https://t.co/iOoXh7iuOl

[Under Secretary of State Thomas G. DiNanno @UnderSecT]

As just announced in the @UN First Committee, Russia’s COSMOS 2612 military satellite has been exhibiting threatening behavior by intentionally maneuvering dangerously close to a commercial satellite, behaviors consistent with on-orbit weapons operations. This violates long-established safety thresholds in low Earth orbit. The United States will continue to secure and defend American vital national security interests in, from, and to space.

[General Douglas A. Schiess @SpaceForceCSO]

Excited for this program to kick off soon with Guardians visiting 250+ classrooms around the US!
