One of the most difficult aspects of building out the architecture of a stand-alone Space Force is accurately budgeting for the service, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Jan. 29.
In June 2018, President Donald Trump called for the creation of a new space-focused military branch. The United States Space Force was officially established in December of last year, and is currently part of the Department of the Air Force, much like the Marine Corps is a separate military branch but part of the Department of the Navy.
Budgeting “is going to be one of the hardest things that we have to figure out,” Gen. John Hyten said during a Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies event in Washington, D.C. “It actually was one of the last concerns about bringing the Space Force under the [Department of the] Air Force, because for whatever reason the broader community had come to the opinion that the Air Force wasn’t taking care of space.”
Before the creation of the new Space Force branch, the Air Force oversaw the vast majority of the U.S. military’s space programs. The Navy and Army also use space systems.
