The Combined Force Space Component Command (CFSCC) was a U.S.-led multinational[2][3] subordinate command of United States Space Command. It was responsible for tactical control of American and multinational space forces. The CFSCC's mission was to "plan, integrate, conduct, and assess global space operations in order to deliver combat relevant space capabilities to Combatant Commanders, Coalition partners, the Joint Force, and the Nation."[4] It was established on 29 August 2019.

The United States Space Force's Space Operations Command West served as the headquarters and staff for the Combined Force Space Component Command.[5]

CFSCC was inactivated on 6 December 2023 with the activation of United States Space Forces – Space.[6][7][8] On 8 January 2024, a ceremony was held to inactivate CFSCC.[9]
