The transfer, which involves a total of 15 global units with 319 military and 259 civilian billets, is set to take effect October 1, if the Defense Department’s budget is passed and signed.
The transfer will involve 76 manpower authorities and 13 satellites from the Navy’s narrow band satellite group.
On the Army side, the transfer will involve 500 manpower authorities, five SATCOM operations centers and four regional SATCOM support centers, for an operation total of approximately $78 million.
Army and Navy personnel will not be obliged to transfer to the Space Force, but must volunteer to transfer.
The transfer is the latest attempt at building up the Space Force. 50 active-duty Army, Navy and Marine Corps personnel were selected to transfer to the branch in July and test integration efforts.
The Space Force was established in 2019 and welcomed its first personnel in 2020, when 2,410 active-duty Air Force personnel volunteered for reassignment to the branch.

Tonight I signed the continuing resolution to fund our government through December. It funds critical needs like our COVID-19 response, resettling our Afghan allies, and disaster assistance — and gives us more time to pass longer-term funding and deliver for the American people.
