We Are Warfighters

Welcome to We Are Warfighters, a motion graphics series highlighting the individual roles, responsibilities and contributions of the Space Force Guardians of Space Systems Command. Every Guardian in every role is critical to the Space Force mission of securing our Nation's interests in, from, and to space.

At Space Systems Command (SSC), we design, acquire, and field capabilities that deter aggression, assure freedom of action, and, if necessary, fight and win in space. To achieve that mission, we must see ourselves clearly for what we are: warfighters. Every engineer, analyst, program manager, and contracting officer contributes to the operational advantage of those on the tactical edge. Every decision we make has consequences that ripple across the joint force. This warfighter ethos is the beating heart driving SSC’s space acquisition mission. It binds us together, reminds us of who we are and why we serve, and shapes how we respond to the challenges of a dynamic domain.
Semper supra!
