U.S. space and cyber forces were the “first movers” in this weekend’s strikes on Iran, Pentagon leaders say, helping create a path for the joint force to strike more than 1,000 targets in the campaign’s first 24 hours.

Guardians in the Space Force’s orbital warfare unit, Mission Delta 9, just got a significant upgrade to their training capabilities in the form of a live satellite, which they’ll use to practice precise, advanced offensive and defensive maneuvers for space warfighting.
The Space Force is close to transitioning to the next phase of a key upgrade to its Ground-Based Electro-Optical Deep Space Surveillance radar to operational users, according to the head of Combat Forces Command.
The Space Force officially renamed Space Operations Command to Combat Forces Command on Nov. 3, a change it says better reflects the service’s warfighting focus.
