U.S. Space Command announced upon adding a new component to its organization to help coordinate operations and speed up the delivery of satellite-based services to military forces in the field.
 
The new organization, called Combined Joint Task Force-Space Operations (CJTF-SO), marks another step in the evolution of the U.S. military’s space enterprise, officials said.
 
U.S. Space Command, located at Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado, is a military combatant command responsible for operations in outer space.
 
The CJTF-SO was set to serve as a bridge between the command’s headquarters and its two large field organizations; the Combined Force Space Component Command (CFSCC) at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California; and the Joint Task Force Space Defense (JTF-SD) at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado.
