Its mission is augmentation for [[USSTRATCOM]]'s global operations center (GOC) which coordinates and directs the use of the [[United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]]’s military space forces in providing missile warning, communications, navigation, weather, imagery and signals intelligence, and space support.<REF>[http://www.state.tn.us/sos/bluebook/05-06/24-military.pdf Tennessee Military Department Bluebook,{{citation Novneeded|date=November 2005]</REF>2014}}

==History==
The 119 CACS was originally activated as '''119th AirAircraft Warning and Control Squadron''' in 1950. Since its inception, the 119 ACS had always operated tactical (mobile) radar systems, but was slated to lose its mission and association with [[Air Combat Command]]. This provided a fortuitiousfortuitous opportunity for the unit to be associated with [[USSTRATCOM|USSPACECOM]] as a direct supporting unit. In the mid-1990s, USSPACECOM commander Gen Howard Estes III directed the command to expand the role of guard and reserve forces in operations from two percent to 20 percent.<REFref name="Duncan"/><ref name="mail-archive.com">[http://www.mail-archive.com/ctrl@listserv.aol.com/msg49834.html "Tennessee Guardsmen keeping eye on space", 1 Sep 2000]</REF><REF>[http://fdsys.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CREC-2000-10-19/pdf/CREC-2000-10-19-pt1-PgE1826-3.pdf House of Representatives: "Rep Duncan Honors the 119th Air Control Squadron"]</REFref>
