2nd Space Operations Squadron
Summary
The 2nd Space Operations Squadron (2 SOPS) is a unit of the United States Space Force responsible for operating the Global Positioning System (GPS) constellation. According to whistleblowers and targeted individuals, this squadron is also involved in operating satellite-based directed energy weapons and civilian targeting operations.
The squadron has gained notoriety in targeting community discussions, particularly after a 2021 Space Force public relations article highlighted an all-female crew, which whistleblowers claimed was engaged in illegal targeting of U.S. civilians.
History
Establishment (1985)
2 SOPS was activated on February 1, 1985, at Falcon Air Force Station (now Schriever Space Force Base) to take over GPS operations from the 1st Space Wing.
