Schriever Space Force Base, Colo. — The Orbital Defense Initiation, or ODIN, is Space Delta 9’s initial training course where new members gain common knowledge on orbital mechanics, warfare principles, current threats to space assets, and more.
However, their most recent graduation included Guardians wearing patches other than DEL 9’s.
The three ODIN graduates from Space Delta 6’s 69th Cyber Squadron are part of a U.S. Space Force initiative to embed cyber and intel capabilities into space operations squadrons to speed up decision making and improve readiness. They will work side-by-side with space operators and intelligence experts, providing cyber capability to operational missions.
