Space Forces-Space (S4S) is the new USSF Service Component to USSPACECOM. The S4S mission is to plan, integrate, conduct, and assess global space operations to deliver combat-relevant space effects in, from, and to space. S4S also provides support to and receives support from Coalition operations centers, including AUSSpOC, CANSpOC, and UKSpOC.

I'll give you a patch if you come to the USSC Conference...

One quick point of clarification: S4S, short for Space Forces-Space, is the USSF Service Component to USSPACECOM. The USSF established S4S as its warfighting component to the CCMD (like every other Military Service) and placed Lt Gen Schiess as its commander, the COMSPACEFOR, or Commander of Space Force Forces. SpOC is no longer the USSF Component to USSPACECOM — SpOC now focuses exclusively on “generating, presenting, and sustaining” combat forces for all USSF Components in CCMDs. S4S focuses on combat operations under the authority of the JFC, CDR USSPACECOM (with a portion of that warfighting authority delegated down to the COMSPACEFOR, such as OPCON of assigned and attached USSF forces). By way of analogy with the USAF, think of SpOC as ACC and S4S as AFCENT (led by the COMAFFOR).
