COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The Space Force has taken over all of the Department of Defense's military satellite communication functions, a major step in building the new service.
The Navy and the Army have transferred major satellite communication operations to the Space Force in an effort to consolidate training, operations, acquisition and other activities, according to a news release. The transfer marks the first time all military satellite communication functions have been consolidated under a single military service.
The Army's transfers were expected to include $78 million in operations, maintenance and 500 positions, the release said. As part of the consolidation, the Army transferred the Wideband Global SATCOM and Defense Satellite Communications System to the Space Force in August. The Wideband Global SATCOM system is considered the "backbone of the U.S. military's global satellite communications," according to the Space Force.
The Colorado Springs area did not see a net gain in jobs although some people did transfer from Fort Carson to Schriever Space Force Base, said Col. David Pheasant, commander of Delta 8. His delta focuses on satellite communications as well as position, navigation and timing, and represents about 10% of the Space Force.
As part of the overall consolidation, Pheasant said he expects those trained in space operations will be able to spend their entire career working on space missions.

Sounds like a way to centralize and know everything being said or done, like a vacuum, and not just to reduce costs.
I wonder how much becomes decrypted through that service…
this is right up the Q alley, isn’t it? Pretty fascinating development to me
Everyone laughed at Trump when he created the Space Force, but now everyone thinks it was a great idea and Biden has done nothing to reverse it.
This makes some sense: One branch to coordinate all military satellite systems, rather than each branch operating on its own, often with no coordination or cooperation with other branches. To emphasize, it appears this move ONLY applies to satellite systems; all others are not affected.
Not comfortable here as Biden’s Marxists are still in the loop. Will bet this is response to closet patriots in NRO, USAF, elsewhere slow walking agendas of WH scumbags.
Single point of failure?
well, they had to find something for them to do...
Bump for later
Did Biden subcontract it to China yet?
Under faux President Biden, it is not good to have all of our eggs in one basket,one push of a button and China has everything.
In combat comms there is one rule: redundancy, redundancy, redundancy....
Now we have none.
In Major Step, Space Force Takes Over All Military Satellite Communications
—
Peaceably or forcibly?
No government reorganization in history has ever been beneficial either to individual freedom & liberty or to efficiency & effectiveness...
MOTS!
Ping.
When do the hand it over to China?.
The Titanic approach. No real compartmentation.
