Today, @SpaceForceCSO Gen. John “Jay” Raymond establishes the first of three Space Force Field Commands.

General Stephen N. Whiting will lead Space Operations Command. (@ussfspoc)

.@SpaceForceCSO: General Whiting is the right leader to become the first commander of this command and to accelerate a transformation of space operations. He has mastered command at every level.

.@SpaceForceCSO: As the primary force provider for United States Space Command.

[@USSFSPOC Space Professionals] are charged to lead space operations out of the pivot-point, to accelerate the transformation necessary to compete and win a modern conflict – to prepare for war that begins or extends into space.

.@SpaceForceCSO: I’m convinced that war will be fought at high-speeds and over great distances. To win we must be fast and agile.

.@SpaceForceCSO: To go fast, you must inspire a bias toward action at every echelon: Field Commands, Deltas, Squadrons, and Crews.

.@SpaceForceCSO: To enable our long-term strategic advantage, you must take tactical risks.

.@SpaceForceCSO: To remove barriers to change, you must challenge the status quo.

.@SpaceForceCSO: To compete indefinitely, you must innovate faster than competitors.

.@SpaceForceCSO: And to innovate, you must empower a diverse cadre of Joint Warfighters.

.@SpaceForceCSO: I know you all have the initiative, character, and intellect to build the Space Operations Command we need to compete, to deter and to win.
