About United States Space Force in brief
The United States Space Force was established as an independent military branch on 20 December 2019. The Space Force consists of 2,501 guardians, and operates 77 spacecraft, including the Boeing X-37B and the Global Positioning System. The chief of space operations exercises supervision over the Space Force’s units and serves as one of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Space security establishes and promotes stable conditions for the safe and secure access to space activities for civil, commercial, intelligence community, and U.S. multinational partners. Combat power projection integrates defensive and offensive operations to maintain a desired level of freedom of action for the United States and its allies relative to an adversary. Orbital sustainment allows the recovery of military equipment and personnel in a safe, reliable, and reliable space. During conflict, space launches must be dynamic and responsive, providing the ability to augment capability gaps or reconstitute space launches from multiple locations. It provides timely, rapid and reliable transportation of military operations in the space domain, including such as reusable spacecraft or launch boosters. It also provides the ability for military forces to replenish consumables and equipment in the military space domain. It is one of eight uniformed services in the U. S. Armed Forces. The U. S. Space Force is organized as a military service branch within the Department of the Air Force, one of three military departments within the Defense Department. In terms of personnel count, it is the smallest U. s. armed service within the Dept. of Defense. The Chief of Space operations is also the most senior Space Force officer, unless he or she is serving as either the chairman or vice chairman of the joint chiefs of Staff, or is a member of either the Joint Council of the United Nations Security Council or the European Council of Defense (ECOSOC).
The chief is appointed by the president with Senate confirmation, and reports to the secretary of defense, who is the president’s chief of staff for defense policy and foreign policy. It was formed as Air Force Space Command on 1 September 1982, with the signing of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020. It has five core competencies, which are space security, combat power projection, space mobility and logistics, information mobility, and space domain awareness. Its mission is to deter aggression and compelling an adversary to change behavior by deterring aggression. It can also be used to deter an adversary’s space and counterspace capabilities, reducing the effectiveness and lethality of adversary forces across all domains. Offensive space operations are essential to achieving space superiority, and can also target the full spectrum of an adversary’s ability to exploit the space Domain. It includes targets in the terrestrial and cyber domains, which includes targets that cannot be recovered back to Earth, such as large-scale proliferation, communication, transmission, and deception; and system hardening across all three segments of the space architecture. It allows the military to expend expendables and expendables on spacecraft that can’t be recovered to Earth in a reliable, reliable and reliable manner.
