Peterson Air Force Base, Schriever Air Force Base and Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station are being renamed.

The Peterson-Schriever Garrison said Wednesday the new names will better reflect the installations roles in the U.S. Space Force. Those names will be Schriever Space Force Base, Peterson Space Force Base and Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station.

The three installations are home to vital parts of the nation's space control, surveillance and command missions said a release from the Peterson-Schriever Garrison.
