Vandenberg Air Force Base is getting a new name. 
A ceremony on Friday will redesignate the base near Lompoc and the 30th Space Wing as Vandenberg Space Force Base and Space Launch Delta 30, under Space Operations Command, United States Space Force, according to base officials. 
The new organization will allow squadron commanders to report directly to the SLD 30 commander, which the base says will create more efficiency. 
Signs with the bases updated name were installed Saturday but are currently covered up.

    You know what is funny?
(no joke)
Jenner actually makes a lot of sense compared to many of the other morons in California!
But why rename the base? Hoyt Vandenberg was a US WWII officer and one of the first big wigs in the USAF when it got it’s start. I don’t see any PC need to eliminate that part of US history.

    They are keeping the name just space force instead of air force.

    Vandenburg stays. “Space” is being added.

    And everyone will keep calling it Vandenberg.

    I’m surprised Biden and his minions are allowing this changeover to Space Command since the Space Force was Trump’s idea given how malicious and vindictive the communist Left really is.

    How about something like this? 
 
To: nickcarraway
    I’m surprised it wasn’t renamed for some woke person who had nothing to do with the Air Force, but punched a bunch of categories.. like trans, left-handed, minority who was appropriatly intersectioal

    Title is misleading, but technically not ‘wrong’. I like you assumed ‘Vandenberg’ was being dropped, it is not but the name of the base is changing.
