Lieutenant Colonel Bree Fram is an active duty astronautical engineer in the US Space Force currently assigned to the Pentagon to lead space policy integration for the Department of the Air Force. Bree previously served in a wide variety of Air Force positions including a Research and Development command position and an oversight role for all Air Force security cooperation activity with Iraq.

Bree is the President of SPARTA, an organization that advocates and educates about transgender military service and is dedicated to the support and professional development of over 1300 transgender service members. A member of SPARTA since 2014, she focuses on policy and advocacy work. Additionally, she provides educational briefings on transgender and diversity issues to military and civilian audiences. Lt Col Fram came out as transgender on the day the transgender ban in the military was dropped in 2016. She is currently the highest ranking out transgender officer in the Department of Defense.

In earlier assignments, Lt Col Fram served in the Air Force Directorate of Strategic Plans, as a Legislative Fellow at the US Capitol on the staff of Congresswoman Madeleine Bordallo, several tours as a program manager for satellite and technology programs, and deployed to Qatar and Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
