I whakahaerehia nga ope mokowhiti hoia i raro i nga whakahau nui o te Air Force tae noa ki te whakakotahitanga i te wa i whakatuhia ai te Air Force Space Command i te 1 o Hepetema 1982. I timata nga ope mokowhiti o te US ki te whakahaere i nga mahi tautoko whawhai i te Pakanga o Vietnam ka haere tonu ki te whakarato i nga whakawhitiwhitinga amiorangi, te rangi, me te tautoko whakatere i te 1982 Falklands War, 1983 Te whakaekenga a te United States o Grenada
