Vandenberg Air Force Base being renamed

and last updated

Vandenberg Air Force Base is getting a new name.

A ceremony on Friday will redesignate the base near Lompoc and the 30th Space Wing as Vandenberg Space Force Base and Space Launch Delta 30, under Space Operations Command, United States Space Force, according to base officials.

The new organization will allow squadron commanders to report directly to the SLD 30 commander, which the base says will create more efficiency.

Signs with the base's updated name were installed Saturday but are currently covered up.
