COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AFNS) — Space Training and Readiness Command’s Delta 10 hosted the second annual Tactics Development Conference, or TACDEVCON, and the first iteration with international partner participation Nov. 4-7 at the National Air and Space Intel Center, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.
More than 350 participants gathered at this year’s TACDEVCON to review the Space Force’s TACDEV program, where USSF Deltas and Component Field Commands provided updates to Space Force senior leaders on ongoing efforts and key tactical problems, they had been tasked with solving during the previous conference. The conference also provided Guardians with the opportunity to identify issues and propose tactical solutions. Additionally, Tactics Improvement Proposals and Mission Focused Working Groups were approved and prioritized for 2025.
The conference offered an avenue for collaboration across the broader tactics community with the integration of international partners from Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom. Their participation ensured cooperative development of tactics, techniques and procedures to continue securing common interests and shared values in the space domain.
“The valuable contributions of our allies and partners at events like TACDEVCON ensure like-minded nations stand prepared to meet 21st-century challenges,” said Col. Shannon DaSilva, Delta 10 commander.
Like last year’s inaugural event, TACDEVCON 2024 provided a forum for a discussion about the specialized nature of tactics development in the space warfighting domain and current opportunities for advancement and improvement.
“TACDEVCON creates a truly collaborative environment that empowers our tacticians to define and solve the community’s greatest tactical challenges,” said Capt. Christina Thomas, tactics development flight commander. “The hard work and accomplishments of the attendees will pay dividends for today and will define the problem set for TACDEVCON 2025.”
