‘World’s New War-Fighting Domain’: Trump Founds First New Military Service Since 1947

President Donald Trump officially founded the US Space Force on Friday, proclaiming that “Among grave threats to our national security, American superiority in space is absolutely vital.“

Space Force was created as part of a $1.4 trillion national security bill President Trump signed into law Friday.

Trump signed the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act, which will provide money for various top national security priorities. Included in the bill is Space Force, a directive Trump first signed in February, which will aim to better protect U.S. interests in space.

Space Force is the first new military service since 1947, when the Air Force was launched.

“Space is the world’s new war-fighting domain,” Trump said Friday during a signing ceremony. “Among grave threats to our national security, American superiority in space is absolutely vital. And we’re leading, but we’re not leading by enough, and very shortly we’ll be leading by a lot.”

DailyCaller report:

Space Force won’t be putting troops in space, according to the Associated Press. It also won’t be its own military department, instead operating under the Secretary of the Air Force.

Space Force’s leader will be the commander of U.S. Space Command Air Force Gen. John W. Raymond, according to Trump.

The new military service will start with around 200 people and have a $40 million budget for its first year. This is small compared to other American military services. The new service will provide force to U.S. Space Command, which was formed earlier in 2019. It’s still not clear how the Space Force and U.S. Space Command will divvy up roles.

The 2020 National Defense Authorization Act is a big win for Trump, who has long advocated for the launch of a military service to protect space assets.

The $1.4 trillion budget includes funding for the Pentagon and other government spending. The spending budget will also provide money to the U.S.-Mexico border fence and reverse automatic spending cuts to certain programs, the AP reported.
