Military - USA puts space force command into service

At a ceremony at Ramstein Air Force Base in Rhineland-Palatinate this Friday, the USA will officially launch its Space Force Europe and Africa Command. According to the law, the Space Force is to ensure the USA's freedom of operation in space and protect American interests there.

The task of this branch of the armed forces is therefore also to fend off aggression in and from the cosmos and to carry out "operations" there.

The Space Force was established in 2019 by then US President Donald Trump as a separate US branch of the armed forces. Alongside the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard, it is the sixth independent branch of the US armed forces.
