850th Space Communications Squadron

It was a component of the 50th Network Operations Group, 50th Space Wing, Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado.

It was inactivated on 31 January 2006,[2] most of its functions and personnel having been incorporated into the 50th Space Communications Squadron.

The squadron was responsible for logistics management, systems maintenance, and integrity of satellite command, control, communications, and computer systems for the Air Force Space Command mission including the $6.2 billion Air Force Satellite Control Network, supporting over 140 Department of Defense satellites.

The squadron also provided anomaly resolution, systems integration and configuration control supporting AFSPC, USSTRATCOM, the Secretary of Defense, and the President.

Shortly before its inactivation in early 2006, there were approximately 59 military and 22 DoD civilian personnel in the squadron who, along with contractors, provided global sustainment and maintenance to the high frontier in support of the 50th Space Wing's mission.
