Colorado Living, We are Proud of Our Military!
The Military has maintained a major presence in Colorado Springs since the 1940s and has long been one of the cornerstones of the economy of Pikes Peak Country. About one-third of the families in Colorado Springs are military.
Fort Carson
Fort Carson, the Mountain Post, is an Army post located southwest of Colorado Springs, between Interstate 25 and Highway 115. This post is recognized as one of the world's premier locations to lead, train, and maintain while preparing soldiers to win on the battlefield. This proud team fosters personal and professional growth by providing a command climate that attracts, develops, and retains quality people. In 1999, the 7th Infantry Division (Light) was reactivated at Fort Carson. It is the first Active component-Reserve component Army division. The three enhanced separate brigades of the division are made up of units from Oregon, Arkansas and Oklahoma National Guard. Headquartered at Fort Carson, the units remain in their relative states, training for deployment
Air Force Academy
While many cities in the United States have military bases within their boundaries, the presence of the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs is a unique attribute.
The Academy is the training ground for tomorrow's air Force leaders. A scenic 18,000 acres are set aside for the training grounds and facilities for what has become a combination university and boot camp. Each year, nearly 10,000 men and women seek the 1,000 entering freshman slots. Approximately 4,300 cadets attend the Academy.
Peterson Air Force
Peterson Air Force Base was originally known as "Pete Field" when it was a fighter training post and a civilian airport before and during World War II. Today, as home of air Force Space Command, it is a vital part of national and North America security. In 2002, Peterson AFB was selected as the headquarters of USNORTH-COM (Northern Command); it began operations in 2003. Northern Command's mission is to be the military support component of homeland defense. Another new unit at Peterson is the Missile Defense Brigade, it is charged with missile attack defense. Sixty full-time National Guard soldiers are assigned to this unit.
Schriever Air Force Base
(Formerly Falcon AFB)
Schriever Air Force Base, the newest base in the United States, is a satellite-control facility 12 miles east of Colorado Springs with 4,078 military and civilian employees and a payroll of $103 million. The biggest unit at the base controls a worldwide network of military satellite tracking stations. Schriever has become the Defense Department's primary military space systems control facility.
NORAD
The North American Air Defense Command is located beneath Cheyenne Mountain southwest of Colorado Springs. The complex inside the mountain consists of 15 steel buildings constructed in tunnels and chambers cut into the rock. Traditionally, NORAD has been poised to use high-tech radar to provide early warning of aircraft, missiles or space vehicles posing threat to the United States or Canada. With the diminished threat of nuclear attack because of the end of the Cold War, NORAD is among area military facilities providing new applications for its technologies, such as tracking satellites and acting as a key element in global positioning systems.
Colorado Springs Police & Fire Department
With our mobile environment, the Colorado Springs Police & Fire Department has its job cut out for it to keep ahead of the demands of growth, new technologies, and changing community needs. With over 260,000 calls for service (police, fire, medical) in 2002, our Police & Fire Information Technology group plays a key role in providing effective communications support for field and headquarters personnel everywhere in their challenging territory.
