Beginning in 1987, operational functions began transferring to Falcon AFS units. This process took several years and was completed with the formal turnover of the Consolidated Space Operations Center in September 1993.<br/>  <br/> Groundbreaking took place May 17, 1983, and Falcon AFS became a reality. Two years later, the 2nd Space Wing was formed, and mission capability from Onizuka AFS began transferring over to Falcon following the base's activation on Sept. 26, 1985. The wing took operational control of the Air Force Satellite Control Network in October 1987.<br/> <br/> On June 13, 1988, Falcon AFS was re-designated Falcon Air Force Base.<br/> <br/> Due to Air Force-wide restructuring, the 2nd SW was inactivated and the 50th Tactical Fighter Wing, redesignated as the 50th Space Wing, activated at Falcon AFB on Jan. 30, 1992. The 50th Tactical Fighter Wing had inactivated on Sept. 30, 1991, at Hahn Air Base, Germany. Its redesignation and activation at Falcon AFB continued the heritage of a highly decorated unit.<br/> <br/> On June 5, 1998, Falcon AFB was renamed Schriever AFB in honor of retired Gen. Bernard A. Schriever, who pioneered the development of the nation's ballistic missile programs and is recognized as "the father of the U.S. Air Force's space and missile program." General Schriever passed away June 20, 2005.<br/> <br/> Schriever AFB is home to more than 7,700 military and civilian employees. The base indirectly contributes an estimated $1 billion to the local Colorado Springs, Colorado area annually.<br/> <br/> <em>(Current as of April 2015)</em></span><br><br> <span
