Established in December 2019, it focuses on areas such as satellite operations, space surveillance, and satellite communication. The Space Force aims to ensure freedom of operation in space and to deter potential threats from other nations that might seek to disrupt American capabilities in this crucial domain. It recognizes that as technology advances, space plays an increasingly vital role in national security and global communication.
