Established in 1941, Vandenberg Space Force Base is currently a space launch base launching spacecraft from the Western Range and it also performs missile testing. The base was renamed Vandenburg Air Force Base on 4 October 1958 in honor of General Hoyt Vandenberg, the United States Air Force's second Chief of Staff. On 14 May 2021, it was renamed Vandenberg Space Force Base in keeping with the expansion and standing up of the United states Space Force. The United States Space Force's Space Launch Delta 30 serves as the host for the base.
