National Security Advisor Susan E. Rice speaks with U.S. Air Force Gen. John E. Hyten, Air Force Space Command commander (left); U.S. Navy Adm. Cecil D. Haney, U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) commander (center right); and U.S. Air Force Col. Todd Brost, Joint Interagency Combined Space Operations Center (JICSpOC) director; at the JICSpOC, Schriever Air Force Base, Colo., April 14, 2016. The JICSpOC became operational in October 2015 through the partnership and collaborative efforts of USSTRATCOM, the National Reconnaissance Office, Air Force Space Command, the Air Force Research Laboratory, the intelligence community and commercial data providers who recognized the need to leverage existing Joint Space Operations Center (JSpOC) mission systems upgrades and integrate additional systems and capabilities from their respective organizations. These capabilities enable a greater unity of effort between DoD and the intelligence community as they confront the challenges of operating in space. While there, Ambassador Rice, Haney and Hyten also met with leaders from U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic and the 50th Space Wing for discussions on space. One of nine DoD unified combatant commands, USSTRATCOM has global strategic missions, assigned through the Unified Command Plan, which include strategic deterrence; space operations; cyberspace operations; joint electronic warfare; global strike; missile defense; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; combating weapons of mass destruction; and analysis and targeting.
