Within months, DoD will start standing up a new combatant command, a new space-procurement agency, and a new Space Operations Force.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Defense Department this week will take the first steps to create the Space Force, a new branch of the military ordered up by President Trump but not yet fully backed by Congress.<\/p>\n

In coming months, Defense Department leaders plan to stand up three of the four components of the new Space Force: a new combatant command for space, a new joint agency to buy satellites for the military, and a new warfighting community that draws space operators from all service branches. These sweeping changes \u2014 on par with the past decade\u2019s establishment of cyber forces \u2014 are the part the Pentagon can do without lawmakers\u2019 approval.<\/p>\n

Creating the fourth component \u2014 an entirely new branch of the military with services and support functions such as financial management and facilities construction \u2014 will require congressional action. Defense officials plan to spend the rest of 2018 building a \u201clegislative proposal for the authorities necessary to fully establish the Space Force.\u201d That would go to Congress early next year as part of the Trump administration\u2019s 2020 budget proposal.<\/p>\n
