"We have... a very important set of weapon system infrastructure here," said Col. Eric D. Bogue with the United States Space Force. "We do combat support on a daily basis. All those activities from the heating, the power, the cooling, the air, is critically important to our space operational mission and that needs to be first and foremost is our mission readiness from an installation perspective."
