HISTORY OF SCHRIEVER AFB

Located approximately ten miles from Colorado Springs, Colorado, Schriever AFB started off as Falcon Air Force Station. Falcon AFS came into being after it was announced that a new facility to control military space systems would be built in 1981. It was constructed to provide a satellite control facility for the Air Force, that would be supported by the Onizuka Air Force Station.

The foundation stone for Falcon Air Force Station was laid in May, 1983 and it became operational in September, 1985. The 2nd Space Wing was formed in the same year, and most of the missions were moved from Onizuka to Falcon. In 1987, the 2nd Space Wing took complete charge of the Air Force Satellite Control Network. A year later, in 1988, Falcon AFS was renamed as Falcon Air Force Base.

At the time, the Air Force was going through a complete restructuring, which led to the 2nd Space Wing being deactivated. The 50th Tactical Fighter Wing, which deactivated in Hahn, Germany in 1991, was renamed as the 50th Space Wing, and was sent off to take control of Falcon Air Force Base. Eventually, in 1998, Falcon AFB was renamed as Schriever Air Force Base. It was named after Gen. Bernard A. Schriever. He was a retired general who developed America's first ballistic missile program. He is also considered as "the Father of U.S Air Force's space and missile program."
