The President, love him or hate him certainly knows how to make a splash. And he definitely did just that on Monday afternoon when he signed an executive order directing the Pentagon to create a new ”Space Force,” which will certainly anger the Air Force. The President’s purposely vague directive, if followed thru will radically […]
Republican Congressman Mike Rogers was among the first to champion the cause for a dedicated space branch of the military, aiming to offset the rapidly development capability gap between American orbital defenses and foreign offensive capabilities. Both China and Russia have had dedicated space-based military branches in operation since 2015, while the United States continues […]
President Donald Trump has again said that the realm of outer space is one where the U.S. military needs to be involved in and wants a new branch of the military dedicated to it. The President stumped his idea in the White House while hosting members of the West Point football team for a “Space […]
Recently, President Trump renewed the call for the establishment of a new branch of the U.S. military dedicated specifically to space defense.

In statements given before a group of Marines and journalists at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, in San Diego, last week, President Trump announced that he believed the nation may need to establish a space-specific branch of the military in order to best defend America’s assets in orbit. While the concept has been brought up […]
Appearing before a crowd at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego, President Donald Trump reignited a seemingly dead call for a dedicated space-based branch of the military. Space is a war-fighting domain, just like the land, air, and sea,” Trump said. “We may even have a Space Force, develop another one, Space Force. […]
President Trump spoke in front of thousands of military members in California on Tuesday and heaped lavish praise on their dedication and successes and promised that his administration is planning on bestowing the “largest pay raise in over a decade,” and even suggested the creation of a new military branch — the “Space Force.” The […]
Defense officials, including Deputy Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan, met with lawmakers last week to discuss the ways in which the United States military is preparing for the future of warfare in orbit high above the earth’s surface.
