Here’s What the Space Force is Telling Airmen About the New Service
May 19, 2020 | By Rachel S. Cohen
As the Space Force stands up, there’s one constituency it has to get on board with its plans: Airmen.
The Space Force squeezed in 10 “roadshows†to explain its mission before the coronavirus pandemic made it unsafe to gather for the presentations. Troops at Peterson, Schriever, and Buckley Air Force Bases and the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado; Patrick Air Force Base and Hurlburt Field, Fla.; Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif.; Robins Air Force Base, Ga.; Thule Air Base in Greenland; and the Pentagon were briefed between March 3-12, according to service spokeswoman Lynn Kirby.
Instead of holding in-person events, the Space Force has switched to spreading the same message online through videos, webinars, and Facebook Live. It recently offered livestreams tailored to the intelligence and cyber communities. Acting Under Secretary of the Air Force Shon Manasco, Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force Gen. Stephen Wilson, and Space Force Vice Commander Lt. Gen. David Thompson held a town hall with commanders at the end of April as well.
