“Det. 4 is an all-star team of people who are leveraging the latest technology in global surveillance, partnering with allies and other intelligence agencies to constantly improve,” Miller said.

Since its inception in 2019, the Space Force’s mission has evolved to ensure freedom of action and defend U.S. interests in space. Space capabilities have become an integral part of everyday life and a crucial component underpinning global security and economy.

As the Space Force enters its fifth year to meet the demands of an era of Great Power Competition, the service is transitioning from a focus on establishment, to looking for continued opportunities to sharpen its training, tactics and procedures.

“Guardians and Airmen stationed here provide a level of mission readiness necessary to operate in space in a way that ensures its long-term safety, stability, and sustainability for future generations,” Lloyd said. “The resiliency of these teams in the face of change is fundamental and what we need in our Space Force.”

The Space Force’s close ties with the UK are recognizable in the recent appointment of Royal Air Force Air Marshal Paul Godfrey as a strategic advisor to the Chief of Space Operations Gen. B. Chance Saltzman. Godfrey will work with Saltzman in the Pentagon and advise on international cooperation in space.

“This is a significant step forward in promoting closer cooperation with an important ally, and it exemplifies the kind of partnership we need to internalize as a service,” Saltzman said in a recent letter to Guardians. “RAF Air Marshal Godfrey’s arrival is unprecedented, and it pushes the boundaries of what it means to be integrated by design.”

Throughout the visit, the SpOC command team shared their vision for the Space Force’s future and fostered an open dialogue with each Airman and Guardian met.

“Our priorities remain clear,” Miller said. “Integration with our allies is key; by working together, we strengthen our capabilities and ensure a secure future in space.”
