The New Space Combatant Command was Approved by Congress last year and established as the 11th COCOM in December 2018.
In March 2019, President Trump Nominated USAF Gen. Jay Raymond to serve as SPACECOM Commander and continue to be the Commander of Air Force Space Command.
The Pentagon, in its Fiscal 2020 Budget Request, calls for $83.8 Million for the New Command.
It is expected to include about 620 Military and Civilian Staffers.
The Air Force on May 14th Officially Announced the Six Candidate Bases to potentially Host the Headquarters of the New U.S. Space Command.
The Bases are:
- Buckley AFB, Colorado
- Cheyenne Mountain AFS, Colorado
- Peterson AFB, Colorado
- Redstone Arsenal, Alabama
- Schriever AFB, Colorado
- Vandenberg AFB, California
The Defense Department will now conduct Site Surveys and analysis of each Location, with the preferred Location expected to be Announced this Summer, according to an Air Force Release.
