As it approaches its fourth birthday later this month, the Space Force recently put into place a number of organizational changes that senior leaders see as bringing it closer to the optimal structure to ensure readiness — announcing today the latest move to redesign its field command supporting US Space Command.
That change bifurcates Space Operations Command (SpOC) to separate its organize, train and equip mission from its operational support mission as the Space Force component to SPACECOM. The new operational command, called Space Forces-Space, was activated Dec. 6, the service said in its announcement. It will be led by Lt. Gen. Doug Schiess, who previously was dual hatted as vice commander of SpOC and the leader of SPACECOM’s Combined Force Space Component Command.
