Founded in 2019 by President Donald Trump, the United States Space Force is the newest branch of the US military. Since then it has been met with jokes, misunderstanding, and even a satirical series on Netflix.
Insider visited Buckley Space Force Base in Aurora, Colorado, to learn more about the Space Force and to document the guardians in Delta 4, who are taught to detect incoming missiles from adversaries.

In reality, all of the Space Force's capabilities already existed through other branches, primarily the Air Force. The new branch was a logistical streamlining, taking all the various parts of US space defense and putting it under one umbrella. Not necessarily needed, but it makes funding and administration much easier. One of the few positive things done for the military during the last administration.

The thing is, the last administration only signed it into existence. ALL of the organization and heavy lifting was done during the Bush and Obama administrations. President Obama had the option to sign the branch in, but opted to pass, believing the time wasn't right. As far as how useful the Space Force is, one need only look at the war in Ukraine. They are effectively an active participant providing real-time Intel and probably assisting on the cyber front.

China's also got a Space Force IIRC, and we can only imagine what they might be working on right now (anti-satellite weapons, EMP nuke vehicles, etc.). Australia especially would be foolish to not take this stuff seriously, since they're so much closer to Chinese territory. Heck, Russia did a reckless anti-satellite weapons test of their own before the war in Ukraine, and didn't tell NASA or apparently their own organization Roscomos beforehand (debris was just scattered everywhere in that orbit area). We're living in an age where everyone better start looking upwards more.

Agreed, orbit is the new high ground. Folks thought the early Air Forces in WWI were a joke until the pilots started carrying shotguns and grenades, then it happened again in the navies in early WWII when battleships were afraid to hit the open seas without the protection of an aircraft carrier and were relegated to essentially shore bombardment. Once one satellite drops that first tungsten telephone pole on a target, or that first Dragon capsule full of Space Force techs steals an opponent's satellite. it's game on. This doesn't even get into the Luna shenanigans that are bound to start. Right now we are essentially just in the recon phase of the branch.

Anything that requires transferring data over a cable or satellite is what they monitor and defend.

And going by this video it looks like they rolled some other responsibilities into the space force. Missile defense is no joke, hell they are basically a modern version of NORAD.

The ammount of time the crew of 35 Airmen consistently incorrectly identified missiles was astonishing. They would consitently label SRBM's as MRBM's all the time. It was quite pathetic. The missile warning center would consistently ring us up cause the 4 JTAGS Sites would label a missile and SIBRS would label it completly different. It's is a pretty big deal when 2 JTAGS sites label a possible threat as an SRBM comming out of North Korea that is gonna impact in the ocean but SIBRS is saying they launched an ICBM with a projected impact on the west coast.

I think the Space Force needs their own style of uniforms. Seems silly to wear camo at a domestic base. This should be the branch of the future, so they should look futuristic. I know their dress uniforms look like the ones from BSG, but their everyday ones should be coveralls or something. Really lean into the entire future fantasy. There's nothing wrong with having function AND form.

Space Force reminds me when the Army Air Corps was split off to the Air Force after WW2. Probably the same pros/cons from various political leaders and general public about the split back then. Zero complaints today about the Army Air Corps split. I imagine Space Force will be indispensable just like the Air Force in the decades to come.

@baron7755 Жыл бұрын

The Army Air Corps was replaced by the Army Air Forces in 1941. It was the Army Air Forces who split from the Army on 18 September 1947 to form the Air Force.

Imagine how many people who laughed and scoffed at the idea of an air force 100 years ago. Most people had either never seen an airplane and still thought that flight was just a childish dream. Now having air superiority is one of, if not, the most important asset to a military. I hope I live long enough for the space force to take over that roll.

@cambs0181 Жыл бұрын

No, a hundred years ago would have been 1922/23. We had just come out of the largest war the world had ever seen to date. Aircraft conflict was taken very seriously, especially with the invention of the bomber in the later part of the war. Most people strongly believed that aircraft would dominate the next war, which it turned out they did.

Here is the issue with some of your comments. it was most branches "job" to handle the issues. now it is only one branch. no matter what branch it is why would anyone downgrade any of the branches. Jw, I may be wrong. so, let's say instead of 20 different people, it's just 5 handling an issue. Space Force was formed to identify and catch, or shall I say take the stress off the other branches. I feel like people don't understand the newest branch, but also don't understand the reason. it is better to have 2 hands on something them 30 hands on something. if you can't understand the reason why this branch was made then you have not looked at the USA history. Branches were created for a reason.

It would be less confusing if it was called Space Guard like Coast Guard instead of Space Force. They basically guard Space domain. They are not an offensive force. I see as more and more civilian companies launch into space and manned space missions become common, Sace Force/Space Guard may also provide a Search and rescue serice like the Coast Guard and maybe an interdiction of illegal substances too (Though I dont think anything is illegal in space yet)

@Aspen7780 25 күн бұрын

Agreed. Space Guard sounds legitimate, serious, and necessary. Space Force sounds exactly like Steve Carell’s TV series combined with buzz lightyear. I wish they put more thought into a proper name. Space Defense? Space Defense Corp? Astro Defense Force? Orbital Defense Corp? Maybe a name that includes the name satellite or technology in it? Something. Anything that doesn’t give the public the impression that they are a whimsical group of Starship Troopers ready to assault Mars or repel a Cylons invasion.

@yaxleader Жыл бұрын

As a current member of the space force looking at separating (trying to get something more stable for family life), this is VERY true. Space Force experience makes you extremely hirable to hundreds of companies that will pay well above 6 figures as long as you're semi-competent. I'm a year out, and I've already had a multitude of different companies messaging me on LinkedIn trying to hire me. If you have anyone who's debating it, push them into it ASAP, and make sure they go officer. I will say though, the amount of people trying to get in is insane. I don't think the Space Force will have trouble with recruitment anytime in the next several decades. It's tiny, between 10,000 and 20,000 personnel, with limited jobs. They'll fill their lower ranks, but may struggle maintaining higher leadership positions.

@@lawrencebello6177 I went officer so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I don't believe the Space Force has posted ASVAB score requirements for careers yet. However, the Air Force requires a General score of 64 minimum. Since people are applying for the Space Force in droves, I'd say you'd want at least an 80 ideally and minimum 70 if you have other qualifications/certifications. If you have a bachelors, you could go the officer route. Space Force officers tend to be utilized in operational roles and only go managerial after 4-10 years. Very atypical compared to other branches. You also get paid 3X as much

Space Force is a much needed reorganization of units that have existed for decades, but were spread out across the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. Pulling all of these units under a single Service, i.e., Space Force made sense because of how much Space has increased in importance and how our adversaries have increased their actions and contestation in Space. Operationally Space is controlled by Space Command. Space Command existed prior to 9/11, but its roles and responsibilities were moved to Strategic Command because the law at the time only allowed for a limited number of Combatant Commands and the DoD wanted to stand up Northern Command as a result of 9/11. Since then, the law has been changed to allow for more numbers of Combatant Commands, and along with a new Service, i.e., Space Force, Space Command was also stood back up, taking over its former roles and responsibilities back for Strategic Command. Right now is an exciting time in the DoD when it comes to Space.
