Space Command
U.S. Air Force
Space Command, originally established as United States Space Command (USSPACECOM) in 1985, was created to coordinate the nation's military space operations and ensure dominance in the increasingly critical domain of space. The command oversaw missile warning, satellite operations, and space control functions, integrating efforts across the Air Force, Army, and Navy. In 2002, USSPACECOM was inactivated and its responsibilities were absorbed by U.S. Strategic Command. However, recognizing the growing importance of space in modern warfare, it was reestablished as a unified combatant command in 2019, tasked with deterring aggression and defending U.S. and allied interests in space.

The 10th Tactical Fighter Squadron (10th TFS) was an active unit of the United States Air Force, originally established during World War II. It was reactivated during the Cold War as part of the 50th Tactical Fighter Wing, stationed at Hahn Air Base, West Germany. The squadron primarily flew F-4 Phantom II and later F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft, focusing on NATO air defense and tactical operations. The 10th TFS played a critical role in maintaining readiness during heightened tensions in Europe before its inactivation in the early 1990s following the end of the Cold War.

Established in 1947, the unit originally served as a fighter group before transitioning to air refueling missions in the 1960s. Throughout its history, the 128th has provided critical aerial refueling support for U.S. and allied aircraft during major operations, including Desert Storm, Enduring Freedom, and Iraqi Freedom. The unit operates KC-135 Stratotankers, ensuring global mobility and sustained air operations for the United States Air Force and its partners.
15 MAS (MAC)
U.S. Air Force
The 15th MAS (Mezzi d’Assalto), also known as the Decima MAS or Xª MAS, was an elite Italian naval commando unit formed during World War II. Established in 1939, the unit specialized in unconventional warfare, utilizing human torpedoes ("maiali"), explosive motorboats, and combat swimmers to infiltrate and attack Allied ships and installations, particularly in the Mediterranean. The 15 MAS gained international notoriety for its daring raids, such as the successful attack on British warships in Alexandria harbor in December 1941. After the 1943 Italian Armistice, the unit split, with some members joining the Allies and others continuing operations under the Italian Social Republic. The legacy of 15 MAS greatly influenced the development of modern naval special forces worldwide.

The squadron played a crucial role in ensuring the operational readiness of strategic airlift and aerial refueling missions during major conflicts and peacetime operations. As part of Air Force-wide organizational changes in the early 1990s, the 305th OMS was inactivated or redesignated, with its responsibilities integrated into consolidated maintenance groups.
