Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use American English Шаблон:Infobox military unit The 1st Space Brigade is a United States Army unit. Assigned to the United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command, it is responsible for providing space combat power support to Army units. Activated in 2005 as a TOE unit after being provisionally active since 2003, it is headquartered at Colorado Springs, Colorado.[1]
The 1st Space Brigade (Provisional) was activated in May 2003, with the 1st Space Battalion, the 1st Satellite Control Battalion (later to become the 53rd Signal Battalion), and the 193rd Space Battalion (Colorado Army National Guard).[2] On 20 October 2007 the provisional 193rd Space Battalion became a permanent-status unit, the 117th Space Battalion.[3]
Since 2019, five missile defense batteries have been assigned to 1st Space Brigade including two in Japan and one each in Israel, Turkey, and Qatar.[4]
The mission of 1st Space Brigade is to "conduct continuous, global space support, space control and space force enhancement operations in support of U.S. Strategic Command and Supported Combatant Commanders enabling the delivery of decisive combat power." [5][6]
Friendly force tracking (actually tracking both friend or foe) is one of the basic functions of the SMDC.[7]
