By the turn of the century, the command was well aware that the future posed challenges both different and greater than those present in 1992 when USSTRATCOM had been established to encourage stability in the post-Cold War world.
As part of a change to the Unified Command Plan, President Bush migrated space missions from the former USSPACECOM and subsequently nominated Admiral James Ellis to be commander of the new unified command, which would retain the U.S. Strategic Command name and would be headquartered at Offutt.
The command's reorganization also allowed for a more centralized command and control of the nation's space-based assets and ensured nearly every military space asset was represented in the new USSTRATCOM, broadening the scope of personnel assigned to the command, to include more Army soldiers and Marines, in supporting the full spectrum of military operations.
