The 75th Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Squadron (ISRS) has been launched by the U.S. Space Force to destroy enemy satellites. The squadron, operating under Space Delta 7 (DEL 7), is responsible for time-sensitive intelligence related to space domain operations, including detecting, characterizing, and targeting adversary space capabilities.

During the activation ceremony at Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado, U.S. Space Force Col. Brett Swigert presented Lt. Col. Travis Anderson with the ceremonial pennant, marking the first assignment of authority from the delta commander to the 75th ISRS’s first commander. Lt. Col. Anderson expressed the significance of this moment, highlighting that the idea of this unit began years before and has been in the minds of U.S. Air Force intelligence officers for even longer.

The 75th ISRS has three primary mission focuses: target analysis, target development, and target engagement. Their goal is to gather and present intelligence packages about a target and its associated system, such as a satellite, ground station, or the signal in between. They also conduct advanced analysis on adversary space force and counterspace force threats and their architectures.

Master Sgt. Desiree Cabrera, the 75th ISRS operations superintendent, emphasized that this new squadron is the first and only targeting unit dedicated to supporting the U.S. Space Force and its missions. They aim to revolutionize the way targeting is done across the joint community in relation to space and electromagnetic warfare.

The 75th ISRS patch revealed during the activation ceremony represents various elements. The platinum represents the men and women of Space Operations Command, while the red triangle signifies the targeting mission of the squadron. The reaper inside the triangle symbolizes the demise of adversaries targeted by the squadron. The Polaris Star in the reaper’s eye socket represents constant presence and vigilance in space. The delta symbol on the reaper’s nose signifies change and innovation, and the scale armor background showcases the squadron’s strength and flexibility in protecting and defending the space domain.
