What does US Space Force do?

USSF Combat Forces Command (CFC) is a field command of the United States Space Force, dedicated to generating and sustaining combat-ready space forces. Headquartered at Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado, CFC operates across multiple installations, including Buckley and Schriever Space Force Bases, and Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station. The command was established as Space Operations Command in 2020 and was renamed in 2025 to highlight its focus on warfighting capabilities. CFC's mission is to improve and present combat-ready space forces for various military needs. It organizes, trains, and equips forces to support U.S. Space Command and other combatant commands. Key capabilities include space domain awareness, missile warning, cyber operations, and intelligence support. CFC plays a crucial role in protecting the U.S. and its allies in space, ensuring readiness for current and future operations.
