Last month, leaders of oversight agencies from six countries met near Washington, D.C., to review and assess the performance of the NATO SATCOM Services 6th Generation (NSS6G). During the meeting, they agreed on an amendment to the memorandum of understanding, allowing Luxembourg and Spain to join the U.S., France, Italy, and the U.K. in providing military satellite communications to NATO.

Whiting, USSPACECOM is the warfighting combatant command that actively employs forces from the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Space Force to deliver space effects to joint and combined forces and protect and defend the space domain. Space superiority enables the Joint Force to rapidly transition from competition to conflict and prevail in a global, all-domain fight. From the ultimate high ground to the last tactical mile, USSPACECOM ensures there is never a day without space. U.S. Space Command’s Provisional Headquarters is located in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
