Road Trip: Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado

Schriever Air Force Base (Schriever AFB) is a base of the United States Air Force located approximately 10 miles east of Peterson AFB near Colorado Springs in El Paso County, Colorado, United States. The base is named in honor of General Bernard Adolph Schriever, who pioneered the development of the nation's ballistic missile programs.

It is home to Air Force Space Command's 50th Space Wing, which provides command and control for more than 170 Department of Defense warning, navigational, and communications satellites. Also housed at Schriever AFB are the Missile Defense Integration and Operations Center and the Space Innovation & Development Center. Schriever AFB is the main control point for the Global Positioning System (GPS).

Schriever AFB is the home of the 50th Space Wing, the Space Innovation and Development Center, the Missile Defense Agency's Joint National Integration Center, 310th Space Group and numerous tenant organizations.

The 50th Space Wing's mission provide combat effects to the warfighter, to include precision navigation and timing and secure satellite communication, through command and control of DOD satellite systems. The other units at Schriever also perform space missions. Schriever Air Force Base is unique in that they have no flightline and no aircraft mission.



Some of the services normally provided at most Air Force bases are not available on Schriever; however, Peterson AFB is a full service base, offering base housing and other support functions.

The 50th SW provides integrated combat effects from space, ensures command and control of satellite weapons systems, and conducts expeditionary operations to enable sovereign options for the defense of the United States of America and its global interests.

The wing operates and supports satellite programs including Global Positioning System, the Defense Satellite Communications System, Wideband Global SATCOM, Milstar, and the worldwide Air Force Satellite Control Network.

The SIDC is composed of the 595th Space Group and these three divisions; the Air Force Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities, or AF TENCAP; the Integration Division; and the Plans, Programs and Requirements Division.

The organizations work together to conduct wargaming; integrate space into exercises and experiments; rapidly prototype, field and exploit integrated air, space and cyberspace capabilities; provide advanced space testing, training and range Infrastructure; and execute AFSPC Force Development Evaluation and Operational Test programs.

It's pretty far south of the equator and there are a lot of early warning sites if a tsunami was created. We should have heard about one hitting some by now. Let's all count our blessings and think about those who are in distress now.

I watched the video and am amazed that the quake brought down so many structures of steel and concrete. I went through a 6.7 once in a hula house and fared better.

Good luck with the interview.

Thanks!

If it’s a challenge you’re looking for, perhaps you could try selling those acorns as renewable fuel.

It’s a lot easier and less messy to just pick one up at the store.

LOL...I agree with that!

Good luck with the interview!

They said it was a 5km deep earthquake...very shallow...so that’s probably why there’s no tsunami. But it was devastating for the buildings and other infrastructure.

I’d love to coupon..but I mostly cook from scratch.

Would be useful for staples like detergent.

I hate wasting food, even if it is animal food.

In about 10 years they would make great compost but by that time, I’d have about 2 tons more.
