The Forge Information

Chartered in 2016, SPARK is a DAF-level grassroots program modeled to bridge the challenges of rapid innovation at the unit level while navigating the administrative hurdles of compliance that often impede the velocity of change. It exists to inspire a culture of innovation and empower unit-level Airmen & Guardians to swiftly advance the development and implementation of solutions to warfighter needs. In June 2021, Space Launch Delta 45 (SLD 45) chartered its own SPARK hub with the creation of THE FORGE. The Forge is SLD 45's foundation for innovation, designed to leverage technology and off-the-shelf- solutions to fix the military's problems and bridge the gap between Guardians, Airmen, and industry experts. ***DISCLAIMER: All posts and content do not represent the views of the DoD or USSF and no mention of companies or products shall be taken as official endorsement or favoritism.***
