US Squadron Preparing to Hit Satellites in Space Raid

The United States has established its first-ever unit of space forces specialized in collecting intelligence on satellites, ground-based space infrastructure, and “defeating goals,” according to the military and defense-focused internet portal DVIDS.

The newly created unit is known as the 75th Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Squadron, operating within the 7th Delta-Squad of the United States, officially called Space Delta 7 – Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance. The activation ceremony for this unit took place on August 11 at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado.

Lieutenant Colonel Travis Anderson, the commander of the squadron, expressed that the establishment of this unit has been a long-held ambition of many US Air Force Intelligence Officers. According to DVIDS, Lt. Col. Anderson stated, “The idea of this unit appeared on paper four years ago, and it was probably in the minds of several US Air Force reconnaissance officers even longer.”

The squadron’s primary objective is to analyze potential goals, identify targets, and eliminate them. Its mission is to gather and provide intelligence on various objectives, including satellites, ground stations, and the communication signals between them.

Master Sergeant Desiree Cabrera, the head of the surgery of the Servant, highlighted that this unit is the first and only formation dedicated to target determination in support of the US space forces and their missions.
