The legacy of Space: A SpOC veteran highlight
Space Command activation ceremony – 1 September 1982. In 1985, Space Command was redesignated Air Force Space Command. During the activation ceremony for Space Command, General Hartinger declared his pride at having been selected its first commander and stated, “…establishment of the Space Command is a crucial milestone in the evolution of military space operations. Space is a place – like land, and sea and air – a theatre of operations, and it was just a matter of time until space was treated as such.” Under Secretary of the Air Force Edward C. Aldridge, Jr., predicted Colorado Springs would become the military space capital of the United States. (Courtesy photo)
