It was organized under U.S. Strategic Command's Joint Force Space Component Commander. The core cadre of personnel from the Joint Space Operations Center was provided by the Air Force's 614th Air Operations Center (now Space Force's Space Delta 5), but other space personnel from the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps also were tasked to the JSpOC.[6] On 18 July 2018 it was redesignated as the Combined Space Operations Center, reorganizing to improve coordination between the United States and its allies, as well as between commercial and civil space organizations.[7] The Combined Space Operations Center is a strategic defense partnership between the United States, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
