            **ARLINGTON, Va. (AFNS) --**The **U.S. Space Force**’s **Space Delta 15**, activated in **March 2023**, is expected to be permanently based at **Schriever Space Force Base**, Colorado, along with the new 75th Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Squadron. Additionally, the service expects the 74th ISR Squadron, activated in November 2022, to be based at **Peterson SFB**, Colorado.

DEL 15, a command-and-control organization within **Space Operations Command**, provides mission-ready forces in support of the **National Space Defense Center**’s protect and defend space mission. The unit currently operates at Schriever SFB and is expected to remain there permanently.

The two ISR squadrons will provide additional capabilities within **Space Delta 7**, which has embedded detachments in each of the command’s other deltas to provide real-time ISR support to their respective missions.

The 74th ISR Squadron provides tailored threat analysis and intelligence production for tactical space operations. The squadron’s intelligence gathering is used to empower space operations to combat current, emerging and future adversaries.

The new 75th ISR Squadron will be responsible for the federated targeting mission through orbital targeting sections focusing on integrating kinetic and non-kinetic targeting for the Joint Force across several orbital regimes.

The Department of the Air Force’s decision to host DEL 15 and the two ISR squadrons came after conducting thorough site surveys which assessed the location’s ability to facilitate the missions and infrastructure capacity while accounting for community support, environmental factors and cost.

The DAF will now conduct environmental impact analyses at each base, which are expected to be completed later this year before final decisions are made.LR
