Only two individuals have ever held the position of U.S. Chief of Space Operations (CSO) -- General (retired) John W. "Jay" Raymond, the first CSO, and General B. Chance Saltzman, the current CSO. As the U.S. Space Force celebrates its 5th anniversary, join these two leaders as they reflect on standing up a new military service, the Guardian ethos, and how they're guiding the service into the future.
December 20, 2024, marks the 5th anniversary of the establishment of the U.S. Space Force – the first military service created in 72 years. This event is a time to celebrate the Space Force and its Guardians, reflect on how the service came about, and discuss where it goes from here.
Please join the CSIS Aerospace Security Project on Tuesday, December 17, 2024 for Celebrating the U.S. Space Force and Charting its Future. The event will convene senior space leaders who will reflect on the service’s accomplishments and mission, from inception to the future. It will feature keynote discussions with General B. Chance Saltzman, Chief of Space Operations; General (ret.) John W. “Jay” Raymond, first Chief of Space Operations; Congressman Mike Rogers, Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee; and Gwynne Shotwell, President and COO of SpaceX. They will be joined by other space leaders and next-generation Guardians who will participate in panel discussions on the origins of the Space Force, its people and partnerships, and the capabilities needed to enable its success.
This event is made possible through the generous support of the Lockheed Martin Corporation.
