Patrick Space Force Base is located between the Banana River and Atlantic Ocean. It is just south of Cocoa Beach and north of Satellite Beach on the beautiful Space Coast of Florida. Patrick was chosen because of it's proximity to NASA, the Kennedy Space Center and large defense contractors like L3Harris and Northrop Grumman.
We are being told that the Space Force will have between 15 and 17k members. It will defend both space and cyberspace!
