StarGate Homeworld Command

Stargate Homeworld Command (abbreviated to SGHC) was a top-secret military organization founded and led by the United States Air Force with United Nations oversight via the International Oversight Advisory tasked with operating the Stargate device and all matters pertaining to things offworld, such as threats to Earth or missions to procure new technology from extraterrestrial civilizations. It was based inside the Cheyenne Mountain Complex in Colorado, codenamed "Area 52".
The SGHC base acts as the secure ground station for all Stargate activities. It is typically commanded by a Major General (O-8) and is staffed by subject matter experts and military support personnel, several elite special operations teams, and several SG teams, including SG-1, the SGHC's main flagship team.
