Patrick AFB, Cape Canaveral soon to be renamed Space Force bases
by Sandra Erwin — February 26, 2020
ORLANDO, Fla. — Preparations are underway to officially transition Florida’s Patrick Air Force Base and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station to the U.S. Space Force. There is still no firm date for the actual name change but it could happen sometime in March, said Brig. Gen. Douglas Schiess, commander of the 45th Space Wing and director of the Eastern Range.
But even when they become Patrick Space Force Base and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, these installations will still be maintained and supported by the U.S. Air Force, Schiess told SpaceNews on Feb. 26 at the Air Force Association’s annual winter symposium.
