About the Organization

The United States Space Force (USSF) is a military service that organizes, trains, and equips military members and civilians to protect U.S. and allied interests in space and provide space capabilities to the joint force.

The strategic importance of space is critical, as political, humanitarian, and commercial interests rely on space-based systems. Launched in 2019 as the nation’s sixth and newest military branch, the USSF was created to protect America’s and its allies’ interests in this contested domain. The Department of Defense depends on satellites and advanced space-based technology for secure communications, navigation, real-time reconnaissance, precision targeting, early missile launch warnings, and weather forecasting. Guardians and civilians of the USSF work daily to protect and enhance these capabilities, maintaining our edge in space to defend our way of life.
