Buckley Air Force Base
Located in Aurora, Colorado, Buckley AFB's host unit is the 460th Space Wing, the mission of which is "to deliver global infrared surveillance, tracking and missile warning for theater and homeland defense and provide combatant commanders with expeditionary warrior airmen."
In its day-to-day operations, the 460th SW directly supports combatant commands around the world.
Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station
Cheyenne Mountain AFS is located near Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, home to the headquarters of North American Aerospace Defense Command and US Northern Command.
While Raymond didn't mention Cheyenne Mountain by name, it is a big part of US space operations. It is the alternate command center for NORAD and Northern Command and is a training site for crew qualification.
"NORAD and USNORTHCOM use just under 30% of the floor space within the complex and comprise approximately 5% of the daily population at Cheyenne Mountain," according to NORAD. But it is owned and operated by Air Force Space Command, which is now Space Force.
Peterson Air Force Base
In addition to hosting the headquarters for NORAD and Northern Command, Peterson Air Force Base is headquarters for Air Force Space Command and now for Space Force.
It is also home to the 21st Space Wing, the Air Force's most geographically dispersed wing and the fifth-largest wing in the Air Force by number of units.
"We literally cover the world with our operations," the base's website says.
The 21st SW uses a network of command-and-control units as well as ground- and space-based sensors operated by units around the world to provide missile warning and space control to NORAD.
Schriever Air Force Base
East of Peterson AFB in Colorado Springs, Schriever AFB's host unit is the 50th Space Wing, the mission of which is "to evolve space and cyberspace warfighting superiority through integrated and innovative operations."
The 50th SW and its 16 units around the world provide "command and control of more than 185 satellites, to include commercial, DoD and civil assets," the base's website says.
The wing runs satellite operation centers at Schriever AFB and remote-tracking stations and command-and-control facilities across the planet, at which it monitors satellites throughout their service life.
Among the space operations that the wing supports are the Global Positioning System, defense meteorological and surveillance programs, and the mysterious X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle.
Vandenberg Air Force Base
Located in a remote area north of Los Angeles, Vandenberg AFB is headquarters for the 30th Space Wing, which manages space and missile testing for the Pentagon, launches satellites and spacecraft, and supports the Minuteman III ICBM force development evaluation program.
Vandenberg is also home to the 14th Air Force, which on December 27 was redesignated as Space Operations Command, which "directly supports the US Space Force's mission to protect the interests of the United States in space; deter aggression in, from and to space; and conduct space operations."
SPOC comprises the five space wings on this list as well as the 614th Air and Space Operations Center, which is the SPOC commander's command-and-control center at Vandenberg.
Among other things, SPOC will provide space domain awareness and electronic warfare, satellite communications, missile-warning and nuclear-detonation detection, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance for Space Force and Space Command and other combatant commands.
Patrick Air Force Base
Patrick Air Force Base is on Florida's Atlantic coast near Orlando, and its host unit is the 45th Space Wing.
The wing operates the Eastern Range, which supports rocket and missile launches at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and Kennedy Space Center. It also oversees satellite launches at Cape Canaveral for the US military and civilian agencies and commercial entities.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket was launched from Cape Canaveral on Monday with Starlink satellites in the first launch of 2020 and the wing's first launch as a part of Space Force.
"The effects the new Space Force will have on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and Patrick Air Force Base has not been announced yet, but continuing to successfully accomplish the mission without interruption is our top priority," 45th Wing commander Brig. Gen. Doug Schiess said January 3.
