SSC S3/7 collaborated with STARCOM’s NSSI team for the JPP course to provide Joint-focused development for more than 38 SSC Guardians as part of SSC’s Year of Readiness initiatives, targeting the need to develop SSC personnel into warfighters who are fluent across domains, ready to integrate, and capable of delivering immediate combat value. “We need personnel who can step into the joint fight, understand the mission instantly, and execute without delay,” said U.S. Air Force Col. Timothy Paget, SSC director of Operations and Readiness (SSC S3/7). “That level of readiness doesn’t happen by chance, which is why we are placing such an emphasis on building joint training opportunities across SSC.” (U.S. Space Force photo by USAF Capt.
