Exclusion applicable to U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Space Force

Although it is an armed service,[19] the U.S. Coast Guard, which operates under the United States Department of Homeland Security during peacetime, is not restricted by the Posse Comitatus Act but has explicit authority to enforce federal law. This is true even when the Coast Guard is operating as a service within the United States Navy during wartime.[8]

In December 1981, the Military Cooperation with Civilian Law Enforcement Agencies Act was enacted clarifying permissible military assistance to domestic law enforcement agencies and the Coast Guard, especially in combating drug smuggling into the United States. Posse Comitatus clarifications emphasize supportive and technical assistance (e.g. use of facilities, vessels, and aircraft, as well as intelligence support, technological aid, and surveillance) while generally prohibiting direct participation of U.S. military personnel in law enforcement (e.g. search, seizure, and arrests). For example, a U.S. Navy vessel may be used to track, follow, and stop a vessel suspected of drug smuggling, but Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachments (LEDETs) embarked aboard the Navy vessel would perform the actual boarding and, if needed, arrest the suspect vessel's crew.[8]

On December 20, 2019, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 authorized the creation of the United States Space Force, the sixth U.S. military branch under the United States Department of the Air Force.[20] In February 2020, Air Force Majors Dustin L. Grant and Matthew J. Neil said in their paper The Case for Space: A Legislative Framework for an Independent United States Space Force that the Space Force was established independently to make enforcing U.S. space laws permissible, as such activity would be strictly prohibited under the Air Force branch regarding the Posse Comitatus Act.[7]
