Space Delta 10 (DEL 10) is a United States Space Force (USSF) unit responsible for space doctrine, wargaming, and lessons learned. It was established on 23 August 2021 following the establishment of the Space Training and Readiness Command (STARCOM), the USSF field command to which it reports. It was initially headquartered at the United States Air Force Academy, Colorado pending a base selection process.[3][4][5] It is currently located in interim facilities at Patrick Space Force Base and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida

History

A ceremony was held on 30 September 2021 to recognize the delta's activation and the activation of the 10th Delta Operations Squadron.[6] In June 2023, as part of the previously referenced base selection process, it was announced that the preferred location for DEL 10 was Patrick Space Force Base, Florida.[7] On 7 August 2024, DEL 10 transferred to Patrick Space Force Base as a tenant command.[8]

Structure

DEL 10 is one of five deltas that reports to STARCOM. It will eventually be composed of four subordinate units following addition of the 10th Doctrine and Tactics Squadron and 10th Wargaming Squadron.[9][10]
