Militarizing Space: Bad Idea?... But Money?
June 16th 2018
Did you know that the last time a new U.S. military branch was created was in 1947? Yeah me neither. Turns out the Air Force is the youngest sibling of the branches in its spry 70’s. But that might eventually not be the case. President Trump (who, for the record, I am not a big fan of) first mentioned the idea of a space corps in March and again expressed the idea in an address in May.
He claims we are “doing a tremendous amount of work” (roughly translating to “some amount of work I am uncertain of so I’m going to use the same vague adjective I always use”) and a new force may be needed (but not seriously unless it’s a great idea in which case he means it). Basically, this is not something he’s striving for or passionate about, but he could be persuaded if someone makes a good pitch. So is it a good idea?
Have you seen the news about the bill to create a Space Corps? How long until I can give up on engineering and fulfill my destiny of mowing down ayyys with an M60 on Uncle Sam's dime?
I saw and I don’t think it’ll happen, at least not for awhile. The Air Force ain’t gonna let it because that means less money and prestige for them.
Let’s all be honest about our real reasons for wanting a Space Corps though…
"LAWMAKERS LAY GROUNDWORK FOR SPACE CORPS"
Politicians within the House Armed Services Committee have introduced new legislation that would require the U.S. Air Force to establish a "Space Corps' as a separate branch of the military - similar to the way the Marine Corps function in the Navy - by January 1, 2019. The Space Corp would be led by its own chief, which would sit on the Joint Chiefs of Staff with a six-year term. This position would be equal in power to the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, and would answer to the Secretary of the Air Force. “There is bipartisan acknowledgement that the strategic advantages we derive from our national security space systems are eroding,” Republican, Rep. Mike Rogers and Democrat, Rep. Jim Cooper said in a prepared statement. “We are convinced that the Department of Defence is unable to take the measures necessary to address these challenges effectively and decisively, or even recognize the nature and scale of its problems.” Although there is a bipartisan support for this expansion of the military, current Air Force leadership opposes setting up a Space Corps, citing that this move would only cause confusion within the organization.

Dickinson to lead war fighting side of US military in space
Space Command (Army) and Space Force (Air Force)
The Space Force and Space Command have both been swearing in a number of senior officials that will shape the direction of the organizations
“Space Force and Space Command are seen as complementary organizations, with the former training and equipping forces that will make up the core of Space Command’s warfighting cadre tasked with manning and operating the service’s satellites and space assets.
Both are still in their infancy, with major decisions about culture — everything from the Space Force uniforms to Space Command’s headquarters location — still to be determined.
“You have to have two different people doing this, because the organize, train and equip side [that Space Force does] can’t distract from the warfighting piece that Space Command does,” said Brig. Gen. Shawn Bratton, deputy director for operations at United States Space Command.”
“Gen. Dickinson clearly has got the warfighting piece down. General Raymond continues with the standup of the Space Force. It lets those respective commanders have singular focus on the two different pieces without them clashing into each other.”
