SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Hawaii, while popularly known as a booming tourist spot, is unbeknownst to many as a hotspot of space support in more ways than one. One of those ways is through an arm of not only the 50th Operations Group, but the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense

Command, Army Strategic Command. The Regional Satellite Support Center Pacific maintains 24/7 operations to ensure users on the ground, at sea or in the air are getting satellite communications support required from wideband, narrow band, commercial band and protected band satellite systems. The 4th Space Operations Squadron supports RSSC-PAC as a force provider

with Operating Location Delta personnel and equipment, allowing OL-D to provide the warfighter protected band SATCOM resources through the Milstar and Advanced Extra High Frequency systems, which is critical to reaching sea and land based terminals. See Warfighters page 4
