Marine Corps stands up space unit at Offutt Air Force Base

WASHINGTON — The United States Marine Corps activated a new unit called Marine Corps Forces Space Command as a subordinate organization to U.S. Space Command, the service announced Nov. 13.

Maj. Gen. Matthew Glavy will be dual-hatted as the commander of Marine Corps Forces Cyberspace Command and Marine Corps Forces Space Command.

The new space organization is located at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska. Marine Corps Force Cyberspace Command is headquartered at Fort Meade, Maryland. “The two units will remain separate and distinct commands,” a Marine spokesman said, although they will be run by a single commander.
