RIP, Fulcrum.

It is with deep sadness that we share the news of Brig Gen Chandler Atwood’s passing on June 29, 2025. “Fulcrum,” as many knew him, left an undeniable mark on our command, our service, and everyone he touched. We were incredibly fortunate to have him lead within Space Operations Command from its very beginning in 2020. He stood-up Space Delta 7, guided the S2, and served as our Field Command deputy commander before serving as the U.S. Space Command J2. This is a profound loss, and our deepest sympathies are with his family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time.

Fulcrum led with grace, mission focus and commitment to this team. Space Operations Command will carry on that tradition moving forward as we carry on his legacy.

Brig Gen Atwood’s family shared a quote that resonates deeply with us: “If you don’t remember them out loud, they die twice. Honor your grief, for it is sacred. It is a testament to the depth of your heart. And in time, through the pain, you will find healing – not because you have forgotten, but because you have learned how to carry both love and loss together.” We will remember him.

In line with family wishes, we will provide further details, as appropriate, when they become available. For extended military families who would like additional healing resources, please visit www.militaryonesource.mil. For those stationed on Peterson SFB or Schriever SFB, local resources are available at SBD 1 Resources in the link below.
