The Combined Space Operations Center (CSpOC) is a U.S.–led multinational space operations center that provides command and control of space forces for the United States Space Command under the United States Space Force component field command United States Space Forces – Space. The CSpOC is located at Vandenberg Space Force Base.

Mission[edit]

The mission of the Combined Space Operations Center is to "Execute operational command and control of space forces to achieve theater and global objectives."[4]

Structure[edit]

The Combined Space Operations Center is organized into six different elements:[5]

History[edit]

Joint Space Operations Center emblem

The Joint Space Operations Center (JSpOC) was initially established on 18 May 2005 to control all joint military space assets. It was organized under U.S. Strategic Command's Joint Force Space Component Commander. The core cadre of personnel from the Joint Space Operations Center was provided by the Air Force's 614th Air Operations Center (now Space Force's Space Delta 5), but other space personnel from the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps also were tasked to the JSpOC.[6]

On 18 July 2018 it was redesignated as the Combined Space Operations Center, reorganizing to improve coordination between the United States and its allies, as well as between commercial and civil space organizations.[7] The Combined Space Operations Center is a strategic defense partnership between the United States, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Other collaborating countries include France, Germany, and New Zealand.[8] [9]
