Recently, many military leaders and now government officials are agreeing that the next step in the U.S military will be creating a new branch to the current system. As we already have the Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard to fight on the fronts of ground, sea, and air, but who shall fight in space? That is correct, the government is looking to pass a directive from President Trump to extend the a new branch that will start under the Air Force and hopefully become its own organization. This yields a lot of unanswered questions like when, how much, and will it pass congress. Overall, it is good to know that the government is looking into protecting us now and in the future when space my be a more prominent role in war.
