[b]President Donald J. Trump is Establishing America's Space Force[/b] Establishing the Space Force: President Donald J. Trump's Space Policy Directive 4 is a bold, strategic step toward guaranteeing American space dominance that sets the framework for establishing the United States Space Force. [list][*]Space Policy Directive 4 calls on the Secretary of Defense to develop a legislative proposal establishing the Space Force as the sixth branch of the Armed Forces. [*]The Space Force will initially be established within the Department of the Air Force.[/list] [*]The legislative proposal will embody President Trump's vision for the Space Force by requiring this new branch of the Armed Forces to: [*]Strengthen America's ability to compete, deter and win in an increasingly contested domain. [*]Organize, train and equip our space warfighters with next-generation capabilities. [*]Maximize warfighting capability and advocacy for space while minimizing bureaucracy. A Vital National Interest: Our use of space is necessary to keep our country safe, protect lives, and support our way of life. [list][*]The United States is the best in space, and our adversaries know it. [*]Space is a key source of strategic advantage for the United States, and potential foreign adversaries are determined to restrict our access to it. [*]America has the most capable military in the world, but we must address the looming threats from foreign adversaries in space to maintain our leadership and outpace competitors.[/list] [*]America will always seek peace through strength, and we will work with our allies and partners to secure that peace in space. [*]United States space forces will be ready to win in a competitive multi-domain environment against increasingly competitive adversaries. [*]To meet and deter challenges in space, Space Policy Directive 4: [*]Launches a joint interagency review by the National Space Council and the National Security Council to recommend changes to space operational authorities in order to address the threats posed by foreign adversaries. [*]Requires the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community to create collaborative mechanisms to improve space capabilities and operations. Leading in a New Warfighting Domain: President Trump knows warfare is changing – space is now a warfighting domain just like the air, land and sea. [list][*]No branch of the Armed Forces has been created since the United States Air Force was established in 1947, more than 70 years ago. The world has changed significantly since then. [*]Establishing the Space Force is critical to preparing the Department of Defense for the evolving warfighting environments of the twenty-first century. [*]President Trump is dedicated to protecting the Nation and preparing America's military to deter and defeat threats in space.[/list]
