The USSF, located in the Pentagon – technically managed by the Air Force Department – is often forgotten about and mocked, with those not even really sure what exactly it is that it does. The Space Force was created by the Trump administration and officially took form in 2019; an achievement that Trump and VP Mike Pence lauded on a number of occasions.
The Space Force consists of roughly 15,000 military and civilian personnel, with an annual budget of approximately $30 billion.
The USSF explains its capabilities on its website:
The Space Force consolidates satellite acquisition, budget and workforce from across more than 60 different organizations into a unified, efficient, effective service for space operations.
Access to, and freedom to operate in space, underpins our national security and economic prosperity. Yet, potential adversaries are seeking ways to deny the U.S. access to the space capabilities that are fundamental to both warfighting and our modern way of life. These adversaries have developed an array of threats — both on Earth and in orbit — that continue to grow in scope, scale and complexity.
The military and civilian Guardians who work for the Space Force protect and defend American interests in space to ensure that our forces, our allies and our people have the ability to harness space whenever and wherever they need it.
The Space Force organizes, trains and equips personnel in order to protect U.S. and allied interests in space and to provide space capabilities to the joint forces.
Though the Space Force has remained relatively quiet since its inception, it was recently revealed by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) that the branch is now being directed to prepare for direct confrontation with China and Russia in outer space; described by military officials as ‘startling advances by China and Russia,’ the WSJ reports, such as ‘developing fleets of surveillance satellites and multiple types of satellite-killers aimed at eroding U.S. space superiority, they said, while Moscow has tested components for a nuclear-armed antisatellite device.’
Space Force Col. Raj Agrawal, who commands an international 500-person military unit, commented: “We don’t want anyone to get the impression that we’re trying to be offensive in nature. You can’t show resolve without the ability to attack.”
Head of the Space Force, Gen. Chance Saltzman, has also said America wants to deter Russia and China, but if that fails then the USSF must be able to “deny, disrupt and degrade” enemy space systems.
The attacks would not be anything like out of Star Wars or Star Trek, but rather ‘blinding a spacecraft’s sensors, scrambling its electronics, or interfering with its communications with ground stations,’ officials based in Colorado and Washington said. However, Gen. Stephen Whiting, the head of U.S. Space Command, has said “We need space fires to enable us to establish space superiority” – “fires” referring to weapons, though it did not appear he was referring to ballistics.
Jay Raymond, a retired general who served as the Space Force’s first chief, has said that “China is able now to detect, track, target and kill U.S. forces,” as evidenced by the country’s rapid deployment of hundreds of new satellites.
The WSJ says, ‘China is also looking for ways to disable U.S. satellites. It is planning to field ground-based weapons that can destroy satellites at up to 22,000 miles above the earth’s surface, Space Force officials say. China has also demonstrated the ability to use a spacecraft to move another satellite from its position.’
Prior to the WSJ article being published, Air & Space Forces Magazine reported on remarks by Vice Chief of Space Operations Gen. Michael A. Guetlein at the AFCEA/INSA Intelligence and National Security Summit in August, and how the Space Force and the Department of Defense ‘have turned to proliferated constellations to make the U.S. satellites less vulnerable to attack and say the U.S. remains ahead in space.’
“Proliferation means I’m now spreading out orbitology across multiple different orbits, so that they can’t just take out one satellite; they have to take out a bunch of satellites,” he said. “Then through proliferation, we’re partnering with other entities to get just more assets on orbit. That is a significant investment for the United States Space Force.”
But when asked if even disaggregated satellites would be at risk of a “large-scale” attack, Guetlein did not hesitate.
“Yes, I do,” he said.
“How is to be determined, what the impact of it is to be determined,” Guetlein said, referring to such an attack. “But they are watching what’s going on in places like Ukraine and Gaza, and they are understanding how the world has become dependent upon space. They’re understanding the impact of those disaggregated architectures, and they are actively working on how to counter that capability.”
He added: “What we’re hoping comes out of Space Futures Command is what we call the ‘objective architecture.’ That’s the architecture that we want tomorrow to look like. What that does for you is it defines your risk, because the difference between your objective architecture and your fielded architecture is the risk that you’re accepting today, and the difference between your objective architecture and the architecture that you have funded is the risk that you’re accepting in your current budget. So that really now starts to define where can we go as a Space Force.”
Guetlein noted that the threats posed by Russia and China would also be tantamount to the U.S. economy should satellites and GPS be knocked offline even temporarily. He cited a study that claimed just 15 minutes would cause over a billion dollars in economic damage.
What has become abundantly clear to us is that the adversary has been watching us for the past 20-plus years and the way we operate. They’ve been studying the way our economy works, our way of life, and they have not only become very intent on denying our ability to use space, but they’ve become very capable at it as well. And that … should be enough of an alarm that we all start paying attention.
Guetlein said.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
This is how the government and presidential administrations operate: whenever the government grows and a President creates something, it never goes away: the next guy in line just takes it over and expands it. It’s no different with the Space Force. Trump created what was seen as this dorky military branch is now looking to get its first real time to shine in the limelight under Biden and Harris, and moving forward.
Two main takeaways from this:
Once again, this is another excuse for the military industrial complex to keep enriching themselves while stealing from us. The Trends Journal has a good take on this:
TREND FORECAST: What is never, ever mentioned by the U.S. politicians, the military losers-in-charge, or the mainstream media, is that America, despite spending scores of trillions of dollars to enrich the military-industrial complex and fight wars across the globe, it has not won a war since WWII… and they did so with the help of the Russians.
Therefore, we forecast that this Space Force is nothing more than a Waste Force… wasting billions that will do zero to stop a space war.
TRENDPOST: As Americans get poorer and as its third-world infrastructure rots, the political clowns running and ruining the nation keep spending more money to enrich the military-industrial complex.
Risk means money for the Pentagon, and leaders in the Space Force know that now is the time to pull in the dough.
The other point is if you have been following my coverage of potential cybersecurity threats and warfare, then you know this fits into the narrative of “cyberattack,” or EMP and grid-down scenarios. I do firmly believe that this is in the cards in the immediate future; and that would act as a way to justify making the transition to digital IDs, CBDCs and tokenization, and getting out of paper currency, while ushering in new waves of mass-censorship; while also giving justification for expanded war with China, Russia and Iran.
Remember: World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab gave his ominous warning about a “cyber pandemic” that would dwarf the outcomes of the Covid lockdowns.
Case and point: more war is on the horizon.
Luke 21:9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Luke 21:10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

There’s a bit of irony in this. ‘Space’ Force. Regardless of their stated intent, Jesus Christ will come forth from above with those in His army on white horses – thru SPACE. ‘They’ are NOT expecting that, nor can ‘they’ do a thing about it.
I have a strong hunch that the Space Force will play a role in Bible prophecy.
Because after we’re caught up, they’ll come into action and they’ll be saying that UFOs beamed us up.
Insigna are demons. It show plain sight. Just look at the rest of the military patches design. It has gloried lucifer.
Yes you’re right, especially the stars as seen on Generals and Admirals, they’re pentagrams!
