| [h=2]Pentagon & Congress[/h] [h=1]The Space Force is officially the sixth military branch. Here’s what that means. Air Force officials on Friday told reporters that people are clamoring for information on how to join the military’s latest branch. The short answer is, they’re going to have to wait a while. President Trump officially signed the Space Force into law Friday, but for now, all that means is everyone at Air Force Space Command will now be assigned to Space Force. Over the next 18 months, officials said, the finer details of manning and training the new branch will be hammered out and set in motion. “It’s going to be really important that we get this right. A uniform, a patch, a song ― it gets to the culture of a service,” said Air Force Gen. Jay Raymond, the head of Air Force Space Command and U.S. Space Command, who will lead Space Force until a chief of space operations is confirmed by the Senate. “There’s a lot of work going on toward that end. It’s going to take a long time to get to that point, but that’s not something we’re going to roll out on day one.” For now, the 16,000 active-duty airmen and civilians who work at Air Force Space Command will be assigned to the Space Force, but nothing else will change. Uniforms, a rank structure, training and education are all to be determined, and for the foreseeable future, Space Force will continue to be manned by airmen, wearing, Air Force uniforms, subject to that service’s fitness program, personnel system and so on. Meanwhile, U.S Space Command, which stood up in August, will continue to exist as a combatant command, similar to Cyber Command, Special Operations Command and others. https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/...-sixth-military-branch-heres-what-that-means/ |

I can just see the oversized "T" on the side of the rocket ships.
Is it just me or does this reek of a juvenile fantasy wrought from the juvenile mind of our esteemed POTUS?

The "Space Force" is really just an expansion of something which already exists under the United States Air Force Space Command which was formed back in the 1990's under Clinton. The reason for the expansion into a uniquely new group is space is the next new battlefield....I know...I know...secular humanist liberals seem to think that humankind are some day going to join hands in peace, and sing Kum-Ba-Yah but, let me assure you that they that entertain that fall for a logical fallacy... human beings have been warring & killing each other since Cain Killed his brother Abel, the human condition cannot be denied. Besides that sidebar, the Space Force is nothing new.

Hey Vasquez - have you ever been mistaken for a man?

I wanted to make an addendum to what I wrote above because, it is a bit more involved than I elaborated. It is true that Strategic Air Command was rolled into USAF Space Command in 1992 which would have happened under George Bush Sr. however, the formation of USAF Space Command was an extension of a larger entity of the Department Of Defense called United States Space Command which was formed in 1985. Really, the formation of a separate branch of the military to encompass all of the space based assets isn't a new idea we are just seeing it finally come to fruition as our footprint in space expands.

but because OrangeManBad, we see retarded statements like Quip's about it being an ego thing of Trump's
I realize that, Trump is just committing to organize something that in reality already exists under a different name since 1985 . Kind of like Trump's open recognition of Jerusalem being the capital of Israel not Tel Aviv, and moving our embassy there, Presidents Clinton, Bush, & Obama promised the same but, Trump did it. The difference is Trump follows through with his promises, doesn't just make them, and that really irritates the crazy socialist lefties in this country.
