Space Base Delta Commanders Invite Media To First Joint State Of The Bases Address (Photo) - 08/08/25

PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. – Col. Kenneth F. L. Klock, Commander of Space Base Delta 1, headquartered at Peterson Space Force Base, and Col. Eric D. Bogue, Commander of Space Base Delta 41, headquartered at Schriever Space Force Base, invite media to attend their joint state of the bases address August 13 from 10 a.m. - noon.


This year's address will focus on the current state and future of SBD 1 and SBD 41 installations, including Peterson Space Force Base, Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station, Pituffik Space Base, Greenland, Schriever Space Force Base, Ka’ena Point Space Force Station, Hawaii, Maui Space Surveillance Complex, Hawaii, and New Boston Space Force Station, New Hampshire.


In their first state of the bases address, Klock and Bogue will highlight the essential missions of SBD 1 and SBD 41, emphasizing their pivotal role in enabling Delta operations and securing space access for the nation and allied partners. The address will cover key unit developments, quantify the installations economic influence on the region, and articulate why space operations are fundamental to Colorado Springs. The goal is to educate local leaders about the installations’ mission, current affairs, and promote a mutual understanding between military leadership and the Pikes Peak community.


SBD 1 and SBD 41 play pivotal roles in the Colorado economy, with an economic impact of nearly $4.2 billon. More than $1.3 billion of this impact comes from approximately 16,200 employees. The remainder is paid out through contracts, services, materials, and construction. The bases also provide services for more than 23,000 area retirees.


Both commanders will be available for a short Q&A session with the media following the conclusion of their address.


In order to register for access to the installation, media representatives interested in attending must RSVP to Space Base Delta 1 Public Affairs at SBD1.PA@spaceforce.mil Please identify specific names and contact numbers for media professionals who plan to attend no later than noon MST on August 12.


Media who have RSVP’d should meet at the Peterson SFB West Gate Visitor Center located at 1334 Stewart Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80914, no later than 9 a.m. on the date of the event. From there media will be escorted via government vehicles on base. Due to current base security measures, media who have not RSVP’d will not be granted access.
