Peterson Space Force Base, previously Peterson Air Force Base, Peterson Field, and Army Air Base, Colorado Springs, is a United States Space Force base that shares an airfield with the adjacent Colorado Springs Municipal Airport and is home to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), the Space Force’s 21st Space Wing, elements of the Space Force’s Space Systems Command, and United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) headquarters.

Designated Peterson Air Force Base on 1 March 1975, when Ent AFB was being closed, Peterson was the last of the April 1945 Continental Air Forces airbases to be named an air force base. Also on 1 March, Peterson assumed several functions from Ent AFB, which became the “Ent Annex” of Peterson, 18 July 1975 – 7 February 1978 (Peterson’s off-base “Temporary Military Facility” was opened for space training by 1986). During the first part of the reorganization that broke up ADCOM, the base “transferred to the Strategic Air Command” on 1 October 1979.

On 20 December 2019, Air Force Space Command was redesignated as the U.S. Space Force and elevated to become an independent military branch. With the new military branch, the Fourteenth Air Force and its units became Space Force Space Operations Command and Air Force Space Command’s headquarters was redesignated as the Pentagon.
