Formerly known as the Falcon Air Force Station, the relatively young Schriever Space Force Base (neighboring base, Fort Carson, has been operational for forty years longer than Schriever SFB) is a host to over eight thousand personnel. One of Schriever Space Force Base’s main assets is the fact that it is located only twenty miles from the Colorado Springs city center.
