Organizational Design - Building the U.S. Space Force

Please join us for a presentation on Organizational Design – Building the U.S. Space Force. 

On December 20^th, 2019, POTUS signed the National Defense Authorization Act, and with the bipartisan support of Congress, established a sixth armed force - the U.S. Space Force.

Space is integral to our National Security, prosperity, and way of life.  While the United States would prefer that space remain free of conflict, potential adversaries have taken steps to challenge us in space and are rapidly developing strategies, organizations, and capabilities to exploit our national reliance on space.  This new service will posture us to compete, deter, and if necessary, win in this era of great power competition.

• This is the largest reorganization of the DoD since the 1986 Goldwater-Nichols Act and the first creation of a branch of our Armed Forces since the establishment of the Air Force in the National Security Act of 1947.
• By design, the USSF will be light, lean and deliberately focused on mission.
• To maximize efficiency of the U.S. Space Force and focus resources, the new service will bring together joint, space-minded operators and systems to defend our national interests in and through space.
• The transition for current resources into the USSF will be expeditious in conditioned-based phases to best take care of our service members and avoid risk to the current missions.
