Amid disagreements at the highest levels of government about the wisdom of creating a Space National Guard, the chief of the National Guard Bureau continues to push for such a reorganization.
Gen. Daniel Hokanson told members of the Defense Writers Group Nov. 10 that he is “watching closely” how the debate over establishing and funding a separate space component of the National Guard plays out in Washington, D.C.
Giving the Space Force its own dedicated National Guard component has been a recent point of disagreement between members of Congress and the White House, but Hokanson said he continues to support the initiative.
In May, he told the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee that the establishment of a Space National Guard was one of his “most pressing concerns.”
