Welcome

The Space Rapid Capabilities Office, a direct reporting unit of the U.S. Space Force, has a specialized, restricted and unique mission. Space RCO is a relatively small office filled with people who love what they do in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  Delivering space capabilities quickly and effectively requires a strong core culture and mindset.  Our short chain of command, direct connection to senior leadership and key operating principles cultivate speed to meet warfighter needs in operationally relevant timelines.

Mission

The Space RCO mission is to develop and deliver operationally dominant space capabilities at the speed of warfighting relevance.  We expedite delivery and deployment of space capabilities in response to the Commander, US Space Command requirements as assigned by our Board of Directors.

We have top-notch people we value and take care of!  Space RCO has a dynamic mix of active duty military, government civilians, FFRDC, and contractors.  We have an excellent professional development pedigree and brag on our ability to promote and educate our military and civilian personnel through centralized promotion, military and civilian professional development education.

The Space RCO is a fertile landscape for professional growth by raising future Command and Materiel Leaders with an unprecedented selection rate equal to or higher than organizations with larger eligible populations.  We laud our three civilian Secretariat- and United States Air Force-level award winners and are extremely proud of our diverse SETA, FFRDC, and support contract staff that are a core component of our fully integrated teams.
