Schriever Air Force Base
Schriever Air Force Base formerly Falcon Air Force Base serves primarily
as an operation site for various satellite operations. Falcon Air Force
Station was established in 1983 as a military space systems control facility.
Falcon Air Force Base was renamed Schriever Air Force Base on June 5,
1998, in honor of retired General Bernard A. Schriever, who pioneered
the development of the nation's ballistic missile programs and is recognized
as "the father of the United States Air Force's space and missile program."
The base covers 3,840 acres and its population is approximately 3,800
military, DoD civilians, and contractors. Schriever AFB is commonly grouped
with the other bases in the "Peterson Complex". This consists
of Schriever Air Force Base, Peterson Air Force Base and Cheyenne Mountain
Air Station.
The host unit at Schriever Air Force Base is the 50th Space Wing, activated
on January 30, 1992. The mission of the 50th Space Wing
is to provide combat power from space, through command, control and support
of satellite operations. The wing operates satellite operations centers
at Schriever, remote tracking stations and other command and control facilities
around the world.
These facilities monitor satellites during launch, put the satellite in
their proper orbits following launch, operate the satellites while they
are in orbit and fix satellite anomalies when they occur.
The wing operates and maintains several satellite programs including the
Defense Support Program, the Navstar Global Positioning System, the Defense
Satellite Communications System, NATO IV/Skynet 4, Milstar and the Midcourse
Space Experiment spacecraft.
The wing is composed of three groups, 50th Operations Group, 50th Maintenance
Group and the 50th Mission Support Group.
The
mission for Space Warefare Center consists of the Training, Equipping,
and Functioning, of US and Allied forces to conduct full spectrum combat
by leveraging operations in, through, from and to space. The mission of
the Space Warfare Center (SWC) is to develp and test concepts, equipment,
applications and procedures that enable terrestrial warfighters to fully
utilize space based assets. The SWC also explores tactics, techniques,
and procedures for space control and concepts of operations to assure
space superiority for our forces. Finally, the SQC conducts operational
testing for Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) deployed space and missile
systems.
