Space Training and Readiness Command leaders and installation partners held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the opening of STARCOM's headquarters annex at Patrick Space Force Base.

The $28 million investment includes office space, parking and supporting infrastructure. Currently, 142 personnel occupy the facility, with capacity for approximately 75 additional workspaces, providing room for continued hiring and the relocation of remaining personnel from Colorado.

STARCOM's headquarters moved to Patrick SFB in July 2025. The command is responsible for preparing the Space Force's 14,000 military and civilian Guardians throughout their careers via five deltas focused on accessions, training, education, testing and wargaming.

"This is a symbol of momentum as we move in," said Maj. Gen. James E. Smith, commander of STARCOM. "We now have a place we can call home. It's going to enable us to continue to get after our mission."
