  • Founded in 2019 by President Donald Trump, the United States Space Force is the newest branch of the US military. Since then it has been met with jokes, misunderstanding, and even a satirical series on Netflix.
    Insider visited Buckley Space Force Base in Aurora, Colorado, to learn more about the Space Force and to document the guardians in Delta 4, who are taught to detect incoming missiles from adversaries.

    Space force seems inevitable, the Airforce was apart of the Army until the late 40s and became its own thing partly because of the Nuclear threat. Now that the Nuclear threat is more powerful and more difficult it seems like the appropriate response to build a Space oriented force.

    In reality, all of the Space Force's capabilities already existed through other branches, primarily the Air Force. The new branch was a logistical streamlining, taking all the various parts of US space defense and putting it under one umbrella. Not necessarily needed, but it makes funding and administration much easier. One of the few positive things done for the military during the last administration.

      The thing is, the last administration only signed it into existence. ALL of the organization and heavy lifting was done during the Bush and Obama administrations. President Obama had the option to sign the branch in, but opted to pass, believing the time wasn't right. As far as how useful the Space Force is, one need only look at the war in Ukraine. They are effectively an active participant providing real-time Intel and probably assisting on the cyber front.

      China's also got a Space Force IIRC, and we can only imagine what they might be working on right now (anti-satellite weapons, EMP nuke vehicles, etc.). Australia especially would be foolish to not take this stuff seriously, since they're so much closer to Chinese territory. Heck, Russia did a reckless anti-satellite weapons test of their own before the war in Ukraine, and didn't tell NASA or apparently their own organization Roscomos beforehand (debris was just scattered everywhere in that orbit area). We're living in an age where everyone better start looking upwards more.

      Agreed, orbit is the new high ground. Folks thought the early Air Forces in WWI were a joke until the pilots started carrying shotguns and grenades, then it happened again in the navies in early WWII when battleships were afraid to hit the open seas without the protection of an aircraft carrier and were relegated to essentially shore bombardment. Once one satellite drops that first tungsten telephone pole on a target, or that first Dragon capsule full of Space Force techs steals an opponent's satellite. it's game on. This doesn't even get into the Luna shenanigans that are bound to start. Right now we are essentially just in the recon phase of the branch.

The air force used to do this but given the importance of telecommunication infrastructure it required a dedicated branch.

    When the Air Force was in charge of the SIBRS system I was in JTAGS in the Army. JTAGS use both the SIBRS sattalites and DSP sattlites and have a crew of only 3 Soldiers forward deployed in combat theatre pulling the same mission as the SIBRS crew of 35 Airmen. The ammount of time the crew of 35 Airmen consistently incorrectly identified missiles was astonishing. They would consitently label SRBM's as MRBM's all the time. It was quite pathetic. The missile warning center would consistently ring us up cause the 4 JTAGS Sites would label a missile and SIBRS would label it completly different. It's is a pretty big deal when 2 JTAGS sites label a possible threat as an SRBM comming out of North Korea that is gonna impact in the ocean but SIBRS is saying they launched an ICBM with a projected impact on the west coast.

      As a current member of the space force looking at separating (trying to get something more stable for family life), this is VERY true. Space Force experience makes you extremely hirable to hundreds of companies that will pay well above 6 figures as long as you're semi-competent. I'm a year out, and I've already had a multitude of different companies messaging me on LinkedIn trying to hire me. If you have anyone who's debating it, push them into it ASAP, and make sure they go officer.
      I will say though, the amount of people trying to get in is insane. I don't think the Space Force will have trouble with recruitment anytime in the next several decades. It's tiny, between 10,000 and 20,000 personnel, with limited jobs. They'll fill their lower ranks, but may struggle maintaining higher leadership positions.

      You’ll need at least a secret but preferably a TS/SCI go get a job there but if you can get that you’ll be making 6 digits easily

    Oh Wow, I didn't know about the split off from the Air Force. I'm curious as to how this will work out.

    Absolutely needed and will evolve over time and expand capabilities etc. … it’s new but a front line of the near future. Just wish they kept the more usual military terms vs Guardian and the more creative names

      Before the second oldest profession (soldiering) reaches space, I am sure some billionaire will buy a Spacex launch to take the oldest profession to space

      of course they do, because some 4 decades ago their predecessor, USAF Space Command, were called Guardians of the Frontier.

    No satellites mean no WiFi and no GPS. The US government realized that it needed to be protected and it also offers another line of defense in cybersecurity

    You see I don’t mind paying taxes for stuff like this. But I’d like to see more uap videos unclassified, it’s clear we’re not alone in the universe. But people out here wanna know what else is out there possibly visiting us too. That’s awesome. Don’t keep that back from us, it’s fascinating

      You realize that the logo of the spaceforce is the famous secret tr3b spacecraft that is built by the USA with reversed engineered extraterrestrial technology from recoveries from the last 70 years and now they have a bunch of triangle spaceships that are secret

    They have already pulled of great feats, like getting a chimp in a space station to use tools. It went a little south, but the concept was solid.
