Professional development of the nation’s space force reached a milestone with the dedication and ribbon-cutting of the Moorman Space Education and Training Center here Sept 13.
The facility is home to four organizations that provide Space Professional Development courses to joint forces operating space systems and delivering critical information to the warfighter. The center is also the only Defense Department source of space training for allied and partner nations.
General William Shelton, commander of Air Force Space Command, and retired General Thomas Moorman, Jr., were featured speakers at the event highlighting a week of celebrations marking the command’s 30th Anniversary.
