U.S. Space Forces—Space (S4S), Space Delta 15, and National Space Defense Center leadership stand with Ryan Pettit, Senate Armed Services Committee professional staff member, second from left, and Todd Phillips, Senate Armed Services Committee professional staff member, third from left, for a group photo at Schriever Space Force Base, Colo., Feb. 17, 2026. The engagement provided a vital opportunity for S4S and NSDC leadership to connect with legislative partners. The visit built a shared understanding of the strategic value and operational requirements needed to sustain the NSDC's unity of effort between U.S. Space Command and the Intelligence Community. By demonstrating these capabilities to congressional stakeholders, the command ensures it remains properly postured to successfully protect and defend the domain, and to seamlessly deliver critical space-enabled effects to the Joint Force.
