Scale Top Modernization Priority for SPACECENT, As Commander Says He Talks Daily With CENTCOM Commander

U.S. Space Forces Central has identified scaling operational space support as a leading modernization priority, with its commander describing daily coordination with the head of U.S. Central Command. SPACECENT provides theater forces with satellite communications, missile warning, space-domain awareness and other space-enabled services that must be integrated into joint operational planning. The stated objective is to expand the capacity and responsiveness of these functions as demand grows across the region, including support to deployed air, ground and naval forces. The comments establish a command priority and operational requirement rather than announcing a specific procurement contract, budget allocation or completed new satellite deployment.
