STARCOM
is one of the three main field commands of the USSF, responsible for the comprehensive development of space professionals. Its mission encompasses the education and training of Guardians, the creation of space warfighting doctrine and tactics, and the operational testing and evaluation of Space Force systems. The command's headquarters is located at Patrick Space Force Base, Florida. STARCOM is composed of five subordinate units known as Deltas, each with a specific function: Space Delta 1 for training, Space Delta 10 for doctrine and wargaming, Space Delta 11 for range and aggressor support, Space Delta 12 for test and evaluation, and Space Delta 13 for education.
