Road Trip: Buckley Space Force Base, Colorado

Buckley Space Force Base is a United States Space Force base in Aurora, Colorado named after United States Army Air Service First Lieutenant John Harold Buckley.

The base is run by Space Base Delta 2, with major units including the U.S. Space Force's Space Delta 4 (flies the Defense Support Program and Space-Based Infrared System constellations from Buckley SFB and commands the Space Force's missile warning forces), the Colorado Air National Guard's 140th Wing (flies the F-16C Fighting Falcon), the Denver Naval Operations Support Center, and the National Reconnaissance Office's Aerospace Data Facility-Colorado.

Following the establishment of the United States Space Force, the 460th Space Wing and Buckley Air Force Base's administration transferred from Air Force Space Command to the new service. On 24 July 2020, the 460th Space Wing was inactivated.

Base administration was transitioned to Buckley Garrison and the 460th Operations Group became Space Delta 4, combining the space-based missile warning satellites at Buckley and the former 21st Space Wing's network of ground-based missile warning radars. On 4 June 2021 the Buckley Air Force Base was renamed Buckley Space Force Base.

Space Base Delta 2 is responsible for providing base operating support through security, civil engineer, military/civilian personnel, base services, contracting and logistics functions to 93,000 military, civilian, contractor, retiree, veteran and family members at Buckley Space Force Base along with the bases tenant units in the Front Range area defense community.

The 460th Contracting Flight (460 CONF) is responsible for military acquisitions, and is divided into three sub-flights: Infrastructure Support, Base Operation Support, and Plans and Programs.

Space Delta 4 (DEL 4) is the United States Space Force's missile warning delta and the primary unit at Buckley Space Force Base under Space Operations Command. It was formed from the 460th Operations Group, which managed space-based missile warning satellites, and the 21st Operations Group's ground-based missile warning radars in 2020. Space Delta 4 consists of eight squadrons, one detachment, and one operating location.

Well, darn! Another storm where the lightning hid from you. How mean! Maybe next time. That storm we had was very silent in the thunder department. It snuck up on us.

Guess I’d better sneak off to sleep. See ya tomorrow! Hope you get some sunshine tomorrow. Of course that will probably come with more humidity, but you’re tough. :)

[radu]

Yeah, typical light show of late. A lot of lightning flashing but the bolts weren’t visible. I didn’t get a lot of rain out of it but it was fun to listen to.

I don’t expect much sunshine tomorrow. The front that gave you rain is what’s moving towards here now. Slow-moving and we should get some decent soaking rain. And a lotta clouds.
As long as it’s cool-ish, that’s fine with me. LOL

Sleep well. Catch ya tomorrow for the quiz.

Has anyone sen the Netflix show “Space Force?” I loved it. Not Sci fi. Check out the cast;

One of the subplots has Patton Oswalt well into a deep space mission that has been cancelled due to budget cuts. But nobody has the guts to tell him.
