Joint Functional Component Command for Space and Global Strike

Joint Functional Component Command for Space and Global Strike (JFCC SGS) was a component of the United States Strategic Command. It was headquartered at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska. The Commander, JFCC SGS was dual hatted as the Commander, Eighth Air Force and Commander, JFCC SGS. On 19 July 2006, JFCC SGS was reorganized into two separate JFCCs: Joint Functional Component Command for Global Strike and Integration (JFCC GSI) and Joint Functional Component Command for Space (JFCC SPACE). The Commander of JFCC SGS at the time of the reorganization was Lieutenant General Robert J. Elder, Jr., USAF, who became the new Commander of JFCC-GSI.

The JFCC SGS provided integrated Space and Global Strike capabilities to deter and dissuade aggressors and when directed, defeat adversaries through decisive joint global effects in support of United States Strategic Command global missions.

Established in January 2005, JFCC SGS optimized operational-level planning, execution, and force management for the USSTRATCOM mission of deterring attacks against the United States. When directed, JFCC SGS integrated all elements of military power in collaboration with all USSTRATCOM components, National Agencies, and other Combatant Commanders to support or execute Space and Global Strike operations. Through the Joint Space Operations Center (JSpOC) at Vandenberg Air Force Base, the JFCC SGS directed day-to-day planning and execution of assigned military Space missions. JFCC SGS was activated 9 August 2005. The Air Operations Center at Barksdale Air Force Base supported JFCC SGS with operations planning and execution capabilities. Cruise Missile Support Activities Atlantic (Norfolk, VA) and Pacific (Camp Smith, HI) provide Tomahawk cruise missile planning capabilities. The Joint Information Operations Center in San Antonio, Texas, provided Information Operations expertise. The Department of Defense Manned Space Flight Support Office (DDMS), headquartered at Patrick Air Force Base, Florida, coordinated military support for manned space flight operations.
