    Space Launch Delta 30 Change of Command

    Space Launch Delta 30 members welcomed their new commander during a change of command ceremony on June 11, 2021, at Vandenberg Space Force Base. The formal change of command allows service members to see their new commander while preserving military tradition and boosting morale on base. It begins with the passing of the guidon, a brief relinquishing of command, and an assumption of command by the newly appointed commander. Presiding over the ceremony was U.S. Space Force Lt. Gen. Stephen N. Whiting, commander of Space Operations Command.

    30 SFS Honorary Commander Bernie Federmann, Honored to Serve Those Who Serve

    Community leader and Pastor Bernie Federmann has served as the 30th Security Forces Squadron Honorary Commander for several years. With Federmann serving as a spiritual leader at Lompoc Foursquare Church, one might not see the immediate connection between spirituality and base security. However, the answer is in the people and the community.  Vandenberg Security Forces have one of the most unique missions in the entire Air Force: the daily defense of active space launch at the Air Force's third largest installation. The expanse of their mission particularly stood out to Bernie, but he will tell you that the most fulfilling aspect of his position as honorary commander is supporting the people.
