Chief Master Sgt. Jason Childers, incoming command senior enlisted leader of Space Training and Readiness Command, delivers remarks during a change of responsibility ceremony at Patrick Space Force Base, Florida, Aug. 3, 2026. In many ways, I have been a beneficiary of STARCOM’s mission throughout my entire career,” Childers said. “From entering the service, to learning the profession of arms, to operational tests, advanced training, exercises and tactics development — STARCOM and its lineage has shaped me, just as it shapes our Guardians and the joint force."
