Slaughter took over command of Mission Delta 9 (Orbital Warfare) from U.S. Space Force Col. Ramsey Horn. Mission Delta 9 (MD 9) focuses on characterizing threats from strategic competitors, deterring aggression from those threats, and if necessary, defeating those threats on orbit. MD 9 defends the satellites that both protect and enhance the lethality of the Joint Force in the Land, Sea and Air domains. (U.S. Space Force photo by Dave Grim)
