Trump officially directs Pentagon to create Space Force
May the Space Force be with you.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed a directive for the Pentagon to officially create the U.S. Space Force.
The Pentagon must now draft legislation that then has to be adopted by Congress. The Space Force will reportedly fall under the Air Force.
When signing Space Policy Directive 4 (SPD-4), Trump told reporters, “It’s the future, it’s where we’re going. I suspect whether we like it or not, that’s where we’re going – in space. That’s the next step.”
