Trump said the command will soon be followed by the “establishment of the United States Space Force”
officially launched the U.S. Space Command on Thursday, establishing a U.S. military headquarters for space operations that will defend America's military satellites and other space assets. “Spacecom will defend America’s vital interests in space, the next warfighting domain, and I think that’s pretty obvious to everybody. It’s all about space,” Trump said during a Rose Garden ceremony, calling Space Command's establishment a “landmark moment.
Space Command, which previously existed in another form from 1985-2002, will be the U.S.'s 11th combatant command, and is the first to be established since 2007. The command will include 287 personnel, many of whom are already deployed on a unit of U.S. Strategic Demand that's devoted to space, and will be headquartered on a yet-to-be-announced U.S. military base.
The establishment of U.S. Space Command marks a milestone for Trump on the route to a fully-fledged Space Force, a new military branch housed under the U.S. Air Force, which the president has adopted as a major policy plan after first raising it as a joke. “I said maybe we need a new force, we'l call it the Space Force,” Trumpa gathering of U.S. Marines in March 2018. “And I was not really serious. Then I said, ‘What a great idea, maybe we'll have to do that.
