February 2017 - The 4th Space Operations
Squadron (4 SOPS) ensures secure military satellite communications,
vital to our nation's military defense. 4 SOPS operates the Milstar
and Advanced Extremely High Frequency satellite constellations,
providing the nation's warfighters global, secure, survivable,
strategic and tactical communications throughout the full spectrum
of conflict. They execute the unique mission of communications
management, satellite command and control and ground segment
maintenance for the Milstar/AEHF constellation.
The squadron also operates three mobile
constellation control stations at various locations in conjunction
with host partners. At higher readiness levels and during exercises,
these personnel deploy with U.S. Strategic Command and U.S. Northern
Command respectively.
The 4 SOPS motto, "Linking the Forces"
... reflects Milstar's responsibility to enhance the nation's
secure communications capability.
