U.S. Space Command

Lt. Gen. Thomas James, U.S. Space Command deputy commander, welcomed Maj. Gen. Amir Baram, Israel Defense Force, Deputy Chief of the General Staff, to USSPACECOM headquarters on Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado, Jun. 24, 2024. James hosted an office call with Baram and emphasized the importance of partnerships in space. Operational collaboration such as USSPACECOM’s and the Israeli Ministry of Defense’s Space Situational Awareness information-sharing agreement and Israel’s participation in USSPACECOM’s Global Sentinel exercise enhance our collective security and reinforce our shared commitment to the security and stability of the space domain. U.S. Space Command, working with Allies and Partners, plans, executes, and integrates military spacepower into multi-domain global operations in order to deter aggression, defend national interests, and when necessary, defeat threats.
