U.S. Space Command has achieved full operational capability after demonstrating several capabilities, such as accomplishing the Unified Command Plan mission and having the infrastructure in place to back command and control across mission and business function.
Army Gen. James Dickinson, commander of USSPACECOM, declared the FOC during a town hall event on Friday.
“Since its establishment in 2019, USSPACECOM has been singularly focused on delivering exquisite capability to the joint force to deter conflict, defend our vital interests, and, if necessary, defeat aggression,” Dickinson said.
In 2019, USSPACECOM established a joint operations center to facilitate sharing of critical information to meet missions in the space domain, completed the first operational plan for space and performed its first joint tier-1 exercise in collaboration with U.S. Indo-Pacific Command.
USSPACECOM delivers space capabilities to combatant commanders across various theater operations, including space control, missile warning, satellite communications and position, navigation and timing.
