Most of these people will be transferred into the Space Force from the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. When Space Force is complete, the Pentagon believes it will have about 15,000 personnel, including enlisted, officers, and civilians. This will likely take the shape of a personnel and training center, officials said. Senior defense officials said on Friday that while the legislative proposal does not recommend the establishment of a Space Force Academy, there will be a strong emphasis on recruitment. Here's how the Pentagon hopes to stand up Space Force.ĭespite no service academy, recruiting will be key
Our approach follows President Trump's bold vision for space and commits resources to deliver more capability faster, ensuring the United States can compete, deter, and, if needed, win in a complex domain." The Department of Defense's legislative proposal to establish the United States Space Force as the sixth branch of the Armed Forces is a strategic step towards securing America's vital national interests in space.
"This is an historic moment for our nation," said Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan in a statement on Friday. But it will now be up to Congress to authorize those plans in the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act and bring Space Fore to life. The legislative proposal outlines cost estimates, organizational details, and personnel plans for the Space Force, which will be housed under the Air Force. But the Pentagon will work to move personnel into the service over the next several years. According to new details in the Pentagon's legislative proposal for the nation's newest military service, there are no plans for a separate Space Force Academy.
