Road Trip: Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado

Peterson Space Force Base, previously Peterson Air Force Base, Peterson Field, and Army Air Base, Colorado Springs, is a United States Space Force base that shares an airfield with the adjacent Colorado Springs Municipal Airport and is home to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), the Space Force's 21st Space Wing, elements of the Space Force's Space Systems Command, and United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) headquarters.

The 21st Space Wing (21 SW) was the United States Space Force's ground–based missile warning and space control wing. The 21st Space Wing was assigned to Space Operations Command and headquartered at Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado.

The 21st Space Wing controlled Peterson Space Force Base, Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, Thule Air Base, Clear Air Force Station, Cape Cod Air Force Station, and Cavalier Air Force Station.

It was activated as a space wing on 15 May 1992, replacing the 1st Space Wing and 3rd Space Support Wing. The 21st Space Wing was inactivated on 24 July 2020 and replaced by the Peterson–Schriever Garrison.

Peterson-Schriever Garrison is headquartered at Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado.

The garrison’s mission is to enable USSF and partner mission execution of seven functional space deltas and more than 80 mission partners across 22 world-wide locations through the provision of integrated USSF and United States Air Force Base Operating Support (e.g., directly assisting, maintaining, supplying, and distributing support of forces at the operating location), Combat Service Support (e.g., the essential capabilities, functions, activities, and tasks necessary to sustain all elements of all operating forces at the operating location), and Garrison Support Agency services.

The U.S. Space Force activated two garrisons during a pre-recorded virtual ceremony. During the ceremony, the Peterson-Schriever Garrison and Buckley Garrison installation support commands stood-up as the 21st, 50th, and 460th Space Wings were deactivated.

Col. James Smith, former 50th SW commander, assumed command of Peterson-Schriever Garrison, and Col. Devin Pepper, former 460th SW commander, assumed command of the Buckley Garrison.

“Today we take action, an important and significant step, towards the development of a 21st century service purpose-built to achieve speed, agility and unity of effort,” said Chief of Space Operations Gen. John “Jay” Raymond in the video. “This ceremony highlights the most significant restructure of space units since the establishment of the Air Force Space Command in 1982.”

Louie has taken over my computer for a bit this evening. Have to go distract him with something else, LOL!

Howdy, lauren. *HUGZ))

All going well down your way? Is the door to freedom about to open for you? I know you’re ready for some get-away time. :-)

[CodeToad]

My old stomping grounds. Back when Space Command was an infant, I joined as a space systems specialist (AFSC 309x0) in 1983. Exciting times, and so much has happened since, much of it even more exciting.

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

I see the sun is finally trying to break through the clouds up there. I wish it luck. LOL

[laurenmarlowe]

Good evening to you radu!

OMG! Painters were here today, I’m trying to finish up everything here that needs to get done, thought the painters could slap some paint on the couple of places needing a refresh. They got 4 and 1/2 out of 5 projects done, have to wait for some tape and bed to dry and they can’t get back here to finish for two weeks.

So. Dang! It may be Labor Day before I get out of here, LOL!

Have to be patient, but I’m getting pretty antsy for sure.

Hope you have a good week!

[laurenmarlowe]

Good evening CodeToad, thanks for joining us this evening!

[grcuster]

I assigned to a tenant organization twice under the 2SWS at Buckley AFB (formerly ANG). The second assignment was to write the justification to shut down the unit and relocate the mission to Peterson. I also had the pleasure of experiencing Thule AFB. Finally, left Space Command for a different masked unit.

[CodeToad]

I was surprised 2CS didn’t go to Falcon.

[radu]

Dang! Those guys need to hustle so you can escape!
Shoulda broken out first and had the work done after you got back. LOL I wish you luck. And a great time when you manage to finally get away.

[luvie]

Thanks for a great Road Trip to the
wonderful Peterson Space Force Base, lauren!
