[25] Each delta is organized around a specific function, such as operations, installation support, or training, and is led by an officer in the grade of colonel.

Space Force squadrons are focused on specific tactics and are led by an officer in the grade of lieutenant colonel.

Detachment 1, USAF Warfare Center, Schriever AFB, Colorado; Operating Location A, 705th Combat Training Squadron, Schriever AFB, Colorado (ultimately part of the 505th Command and Control Wing), and the National Security Space Institute, Peterson AFB, CO National Security Space Institute, a place for space education became eventually part of the STAR Delta.
