Buckley Space Force Base: A Look Back

Buckley Space Force Base has been part of the Aurora community for decades, but the installation has changed significantly since its early days. What began as a bombing range in 1938 went on to serve the Army Air Corps, Navy, Air National Guard and Air Force before becoming a Space Force installation.

Take a look back at Buckley's history and how its evolving missions helped shape the base we know today in Aurora.
