About
STAR Delta (P) was activated on July 24, 2020 at Peterson AFB and serves as the precursor organization to the planned Space Training and Readiness Command (STARCOM), one of three enduring Field Commands designated under the U.S. Space Force.
STAR Delta (P) is led by an O-6 commander. STARCOM will be led by a Major General (2-star) due to the planned scope of responsibility and number of personnel within the command.
The enduring STARCOM is anticipated to activate in CY21 and requires a basing action to designate its final location.
