U.S. Space Force Lt. Gen. Dennis O. Bythewood, commander of U.S. Space Forces - Space (S4S) and the Combined Joint Force Space Component, second from left, poses for a photo with Brig. Gen. Jacob Middleton, commander of U.S. Space Forces - Europe and Africa (USSPACEFOR-EURAF), third from left, at S4S Headquarters, Vandenberg Space Force Base, Calif., May 13, 2026. The visit served to strengthen the relationship between S4S and SPACEFOREUR-AF leadership, while developing a better understanding of how the two component field commands can improve operation integration in support of joint missions with Allies and partners across the U.S. European Command and U.S. Africa Command areas of responsibility. By aligning theater-specific space requirements with S4S global command and control, the commanders ensure the Joint Force remains postured to Defend critical infrastructure and Deliver space effects across the continent.
