Schriever Space Force Base

Schriever Space Force Base–one of the newest bases in the Air Force. Schriever SFB is the home of the 50th Space Wing, the Space Innovation and Development Center, the Missile Defense Agency’s Joint National Integration Center, 310th Space Group and numerous tenant organizations.

The 50th Space Wing’s mission provide combat effects to the war fighter, to include precision navigation and timing and secure satellite communication, through command and control of DOD satellite systems. The other units at Schriever also perform space missions. We are unique in that we have no flight line and no aircraft mission.

Some of the services normally provided at most Air Force bases are not available on Schriever; however, Peterson SFB is a full service base, offering base housing and other support functions

History

Groundbreaking for what would become Schriever Space Force Base took place in May 1983. It was originally called the Consolidated Space Operations Center (CSOC) during the development phase, and was renamed Falcon Air Force Station upon becoming operational. In September 1985 the Second Space Wing was activated at this base, and 230 Air Force members and civilian employees moved into its 12 new buildings. This wing took operational control of the Air Force Satellite Control Network in October 1987.

In June 1988, Falcon Air Force Station was redesignated Falcon Air Force Base. On 30 January 1992 the 2nd Space Wing was redesignated as the 50th Space Wing.

On 5 June 1998, Falcon Air Force Base was renamed Schriever Space Force Base in honor of the retired General Bernard Adolph Schriever, who pioneered in the development of the American ballistic missile programs. Schriever SFB is the only Air Force base that was named for an Air Force veteran who was living at the time. General Schriever died June 20, 2005.

On November 21, 2011, an airman from the 50th Security Forces Squadron surrendered to authorities after barricading himself in a building with a personal handgun. No injuries were reported.[
