Trump nominates Colorado general to lead US Space Command

"(CNN) – President Donald Trump has nominated Gen. John Raymond to lead the recently created US Space Command, defense officials confirmed Tuesday.

Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan told Congress Tuesday that the establishment of Space Command should be given priority within the proposed Space Force, calling the command "the easiest and most impactful" of the various aspects of the Force.

The proposed Space Force will fall under the Air Force and have a relationship akin to the US Marine Corps' relationship to the Department of the Navy."
