Space Force was signed into law Dec. 20, 2019 as part of the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act. On June 18, 2018, President Donald Trump directed the Pentagon to begin planning for a Space Force: a 6th independent military service branch to undertake missions and operations in the rapidly evolving space domain. The U.S. Space Force would be the first new military service in more than 70 years, following the establishment of the U.S. Air Force in 1947. It is the sixth and youngest branch of the U.S. Armed Forces.
