History

[edit]

Before the founding of an independent Space Force, theAir Force Space Command's (AFSPC)50th Operations Group (50 OG), part of the50th Space Wing, performed the satellite communications and position, navigation, and timing missions. As part of the reorganization in the stand-up of Space Force, 50 OG was inactivated and DEL 8 was activated on 24 July 2020.[2][3][4][5] On 8 February 2022, the50th Operations Support Squadron was inactivated and the8th Combat Training Squadron was activated.[6]

In September 2021, the Space Force publicly identified Army and Navy SATCOM units that would transfer to DEL 8.[1][7][8] On 6 June 2022, the Naval Satellite Operations Center transferred as the10th Space Operations Squadron,[9] followed on 29 June 2022 by the Army's 53rd Signal Battalion, which became the53rd Space Operations Squadron.[10][11]

On 7 July 2022, Colonel David Pheasant, a former Army officer who had once commanded the 53rd Signal Battalion, took command of DEL 8, becoming the first inter-service transfer officer to command a Space Force Delta.[12][13]

In 2023, the2nd Space Operations Squadron was transferred to thePositioning, Navigation, and Timing Integrated Mission Delta (Provisional) with the transfer of theposition, navigation, and timing mission set into the new unit.[14]
