“Gen. Dan Caine, our Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, recently said, 'The enlisted force is our great area of exclusivity.' Put in space domain terms, I would say that the [NCO] is the asymmetric advantage in the astrographic AOR.” said Chief Master Sgt. Simmons.

#ICYMI: Chief Master Sgt. Jacob Simmons, #USSPACECOM command senior enlisted leader, spoke to leaders at the NATO Space Operations Commanders Conference, highlighting NCOs as the vital force multipliers that enable and empower the enlisted force to execute their missions.

Thank you @SpaceForceAssoc for explaining the difference between #USSPACECOM, a combatant command, and @USSpaceForce, a military service branch. Read the thread below to learn more about the command's distinct mission. 👇

[Space Force Association @SpaceForceAssoc]

The Space Force and Space Command are not the same organization.
This trips up reporters, lawmakers, and most Americans. Here's the actual difference... ↓

[U.S. Space Command @US_SpaceCom]

Joint operations require joint readiness. @USSpaceForce provides crucial personnel to combatant commands like #USSPACECOM. To level-set training, @USSF_STARCOM launched a C2 course, ensuring #Guardians are combat-ready to sync space power.

Thank you @aamuedu for hosting our Joint Forces Development and Training team. AAMU's cutting-edge research allows us to better understand options, solutions and innovative opportunities to ensure we can address national security and maintain space superiority.

[Alabama A&M University @aamuedu]

Alabama A&M University recently hosted officials from @US_SpaceCom for a strategic research briefing that marked the command’s first formal engagement with AAMU researchers as SpaceCom establishes its headquarters in Huntsville. Among featured researchers was Dr. Kaveh Heidary, professor of electrical engineering and director of the RISE Center for Sensors and Systems in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. #StartHere

A rocket launch to orbit + a Minuteman III test launch within hours of each other--@SLDelta30’s team delivers excellence daily. Assured access to space is no longer just a capability; it is an absolute requirement of our national security. 👇

[Vandenberg Space Force Base @SLDelta30]

Two launches. Four hours. One Mission. 🚀🇺🇸

We are America’s premier West Coast Spaceport and Test Range.

“We’re committing nearly $18 billion to operationalize Golden Dome for America to defend the homeland. We’re providing the largest investment in … space capabilities ever,” @SecWar 👇

[Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar]

The $1.5 trillion investment is a GENERATIONAL DOWN PAYMENT on America’s national defense.

This investment guarantees the United States maintains overwhelming strength and unmatched deterrence against any adversary for generations to come.

[U.S. Space Command @US_SpaceCom]

From combat ops & allied integration to GPS interference & NASA’s return to the Moon, Gen. Stephen Whiting, #USSPACECOM commander, discussed the growing importance of space ops & the challenges shaping the future security environment @MitchellStudies
