Its military heads are the chief of space operations, who is one of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and vice chief of space operations.
Space Delta 2 is the United States Space Force's space domain awareness and space battle management delta and is headquartered at Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado. Space Delta 2 tracks and monitors all human made objects from low Earth orbit to geosynchronous orbit and further out to deep space. It also partners with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to provide weather satellite observation for the U.S. Armed Forces. It consists of the 15th Space Surveillance, 18th Space Defense Squadron, 19th Space Defense Squadron, and 20th Space Surveillance Squadron.
The United States Space Force is organized by different units: the Space Staff, the field commands, and the space deltas.

Space Delta 6 is a United States Space Force unit which assures access to space through the $6.8 billion Satellite Control Network and defensive cyberspace capabilities for space mission systems.
While the United States Space Force gained its independence on 20 December 2019, the history of the United States Space Force can be traced back to the beginnings of the military space program following the conclusion of the Second World War in 1945. Early military space development was begun within the United States Army Air Forces by General Henry H. Arnold, who identified space as a crucial military arena decades before the first spaceflight. Gaining its independence from the Army on 18 September 1947, the United States Air Force began development of military space and ballistic missile programs, while also competing with the United States Army and United States Navy for the space mission.
Navy Space Command is the command that serves as the United States Navy service component of the U.S. Space Command. It is tasked with developing space capability to provide the Navy with global communications, targeting, and reconnaissance using space-based assets.
The 53rd Space Operations Squadron is a United States Space Force unit. Assigned to the Space Operations Command's Space Delta 8, it is responsible for providing payload and transmission command and control of the Wideband Global SATCOM and Defense Satellite Communications System constellations. It is headquartered at Schriever Space Force Base, Colorado. Whereas the 4th Space Operations Squadron operates the satellite "bus", the 53 SOPS is responsible for operating the mission payload - high capacity "wideband" military satellite communications.
