Disambiguation: Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) is NO LONGER in use as of November 2025. The organization was successively redesignated as Space Operations Command (SpOC, 2020–2025), and then as United States Space Force Combat Forces Command (CFC, November 3, 2025). This entity represents the evolution of the original Space Command established in 1982.

Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) was established on September 1, 1982, as Space Command, the first dedicated operational space command within the U.S. Armed Forces. Renamed Air Force Space Command on November 15, 1985, to distinguish it from other service space commands, AFSPC operated as the U.S. Air Force's primary space operations entity until further reorganizations. Following the establishment of the independent U.S. Space Force in 2019, AFSPC was redesignated as Space Operations Command (SpOC) in October 2020. Most recently, on November 3, 2025, SpOC was redesignated as United States Space Force Combat Forces Command (CFC), emphasizing its warfighting mission under U.S. Space Command. Headquartered at Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado, the organization's primary mission is to protect America and its allies in, from, and to space. In the context of UAP disclosure, Air Force mission reports and Space Command documentation are included in the Pentagon's May 2026 PURSUE (Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters) initiative, though AFSPC was not the primary UAP investigation authority.

Desambiguação: Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) is NO LONGER in use as of November 2025. The organization was successively redesignated as Space Operations Command (SpOC, 2020–2025), and then as United States Space Force Combat Forces Command (CFC, November 3, 2025). This entity represents the evolution of the original Space Command established in 1982.

O Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) foi estabelecido em 1º de setembro de 1982 como Space Command, o primeiro comando espacial operacional dedicado das Forças Armadas dos EUA. Renomeado para Air Force Space Command em 15 de novembro de 1985 para distingui-lo de outros comandos espaciais das demais armas, o AFSPC funcionou como entidade primária de operações espaciais da Força Aérea dos EUA até posteriores reorganizações. Após o estabelecimento da Força Espacial Independente dos EUA em 2019, o AFSPC foi redesignado como Space Operations Command (SpOC) em outubro de 2020. Mais recentemente, em 3 de novembro de 2025, o SpOC foi redesignado como United States Space Force Combat Forces Command (CFC), enfatizando sua missão de combate sob o U.S. Space Command. Com sede na Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado, a missão primária da organização é proteger a América e seus aliados no espaço, a partir do espaço e para o espaço. No contexto da divulgação de UAP, relatórios de missão da Força Aérea e documentação do Space Command estão incluídos na iniciativa PURSUE (Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters) de maio de 2026 do Pentágono, embora o AFSPC não tenha sido a autoridade primária de investigação de UAP.
