The Naval Academy commissions ~260 Marine Corps officers a year vice the 60 asserted by the article. Not that that particularly matters, just thought I would clarify for the young ones on the forum.
 
If this is the case, then the Dept of the AF better hurry up and figure out what Space Force members are going to be called, what the rank structure is, pay scale, promotion system, etc. because as of now the Space Force has none of that.
 
Personally, I feel the creation of the Space Force caught the AF by surprise when proposed by the President. Hopefully it works out, more billions on the debt.
 
Being in the US Space Force, I can't envision being deployed in harms way. Maybe they will think up something. All services need heroes.
 
This will be slow rolled until the election results in November. I think DoD is doing a wait and see approach with incremental measures. Probably wise to do so at this juncture.

As much as I’d like to think the government will see the light and realize that the USSF is unnecessary and a waste of taxpayers dollars, it looks as if it’s full steam ahead at this point. As a Space Operations officer, I’ve already been told thru the rumor mill that if we wish to remain in space operations, we will be required to lateral over to the Space Force this coming summer. Not to mention, the Space Force was a bipartisan effort so it’s unlikely to be turned around at this point.
 
I've had the privilege of working National Security Space programs for over 40 years, including having a hand in writing the original Space Command charter, launching Space Shuttles with NASA, and now owning a defense company that supports the office that advises the SecAF on space issues.
Suffice it to say there are critical justifications for making this extraordinary organizational change. Most cannot be discussed in open forum, but the potential exists for significant improvements in the efficiencies and effectiveness of our national treasure being spent on designing, deploying and defending the nation's precious assets in space that secure our liberty and way of life. As the current Vice President said in relation to spending more dollars on efforts like this, "What price freedom?"
 
There are some interviews of General Steve Kwast on Youtube about how important that the U.S., as a leading country, must have a Space Force. You can start with The Candace Owens Show: General Steve Kwast. It all makes sense.
