Is this really a multinational command?

[edit]

Article says:

U.S.–led multinational subordinate command of United States Space Command

But that's not the impression I get from the CFSCC website. It looks like it is just a US command. It does appear to sometimes get allied personnel seconded to it, but secondment of allied personnel doesn't automatically turn a national command into a multinational one. Generally speaking, a true multinational command has multinational representation in its leadership–for example, NORAD has a US commander and a Canadian deputy commander–whereas this command all its leadership is American.

Combined means multinational. Joint means multiservice. Sources also indicate that it's multinational. An Air Force major general was tapped to lead a multinational space command headquartered at Vandenberg Air Force Base and will begin the transition into her new role during a ceremony on Nov. 16. (https://lompocrecord.com/news/local/military/vandenberg/air-force-major-gen-deanna-burt-to-lead-multinational-space-command-at-vandenberg-afb/article_7109d89d-1427-5c5f-915b-8fb5adf59e81.html); Maj. Gen. DeAnna Burt, who commands the multinational space operations arm of U.S. Space Command. (https://spacenews.com/space-command-to-expand-network-of-allies-that-help-monitor-orbital-traffic/). Multinational in this case doesn't necessarily mean leadership is automatically multinational. Garuda28 (talk) 03:15, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for clarifying. I added those two references as cites to the article. Mr248 (talk) 04:35, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
