 DoD Wants Army, Navy To Join Space Force; May Ask Hill For Help

Space Force is looking to establish an independent identity, based on the legacy of the Air Force space community, but focused on "22nd century warfare," says Maj. Gen. John Shaw.

WASHINGTON: Top Pentagon officials are hammering out a legislative proposal to Congress to bring personnel from the Army, Navy and Marines into the newly inaugurated Space Force.

DoD and military sources say Air Force Maj. Gen. Clint Crosier, charged by Air Force Secretary Barbara Barrett with planning how to flesh out the nascent Space Force, is crafting the plan, that will ultimately be sent to Defense Secretary Mark Esper. The Army and the Navy Department maintain significant space capabilities and forces that so far are barred from Space Force integration under the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), signed by President Donald Trump Dec. 20.

“There are things we can learn from the Navy, we can learn from the Army,” Shaw said. “I think the domain that’s closest to space is the undersea one. … Attribution is really hard, awareness is hard; you don’t see it, you have to kind of visualize it.”

It's going to be a long time before they need any Submariners and Spec Ops.

Don't look like "Lotsa Money" to me.

$40 million in operations and maintenance funds for the U.S. Space Force, a steep cut from the $72.4 million that the Trump administration requested.
