Air Force’s Joint Forces Space Component Command Missions to Move to U.S. Space Command

摘要

LOS ANGELES - When the future U.S. Space Command is stood up, the Air Force Space Command’s Joint Forces Space Component Command (JFSCC) two main mission areas will be reborn under the new combatant command to help facilitate cooperation with both commercial and multi-national partners in space, a senior Air Force official said June 11. Cooperation with commercial partners and allies to address shared space concerns is “vitally important to our nations’ strategic posture,” said Maj. Gen. Stephen Whiting, 14th Air Force commander and JFSCC deputy commander Tuesday. Speaking at the SMI Group's first-annual Military Space USA conference hosted in Los Angeles, Whiting said that plans are in place to stand up a new Combined Forces Space Component Command (CFSCC) within the forthcoming U.S. Space Command.
