3/1/2013 - PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- Air Force Space Command is celebrating its 30th Anniversary! Here is a significant milestone from the command's history ...
In the fall of 1992, an Air Force Blue Ribbon Panel on space recommended
establishing a dedicated Space Warfare Center to exploit the
capabilities of space-based assets. Combat operations during Operation
Desert Storm relied on space support more than in any past conflict;
however, an analysis of these operations revealed shortfalls in the Air
Force's ability to leverage space capabilities. In order to better
exploit space capabilities, the SWC was stood-up and officially
dedicated on Nov. 1, 1993. The SWC was redesignated as the SIDC on March
1, 2006,
The SIDC , which resides Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, supports
Overseas Contingency Operations by expeditiously transitioning
innovative combat effects to the warfighter. The center also improves
exploitation of air, space and cyberspace capabilities through
wargaming, exercises, advanced space training, experiments and
space-range development. The SIDC provides independent, thorough space
and missile operational testing results for Headquarters Air Force Space
Command.
The center's mission is to advance full-spectrum warfare through rapid
innovation, integration, training testing, and experimentation.
