The specialist organisation dedicated to orbital warfare has spent five years in the “establishment phase” since being signed off by ex-pres Donald Trump in 2019.
But bosses visiting the UK this week warn they now need to be more ready for attacks off Earth than ever before as space is being rapidly weaponised.
Lt Gen David N. Miller said today at the US Embassy in London: “We are moving from establishment into developing the service into a combat credible military service.
“Increasingly the character of warfare that includes space as an operational domain for warfighting is becoming more and more apparent to everyone.
“In order to compete in today’s environment, deter conflict and prevail conflict, we’re going to have to take similar approaches to developing, generating and fielding capability.”
Chief Master Sergeant Caleb M. Lloyd said: “The domain has changed.
"We recognise and talk about space as a warfighting domain.
"The particular focus for us is the development of our people.”
