\n“Space Force Intell. Interested?”<\/em><\/p>\n

The youngest service, the United States Space Force (USSF), decided it needed an Intell branch it can call its own. And so the National Space Intelligence Center (NSIC) was created. Named Space Delta 18, it’s headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio and was activated on 24 June 2022. Sadly, these do not come cheaply.<\/p>\n

Space Force Launches New Intelligence Unit as Congress Voices Concerns over Growth<\/h3>\n

Thomas Novelly<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Space Force has assumed command of a new unit that will be focused on keeping an eye out for foreign threats in space, but it comes as Congress is warning the small service branch that it has to prepare to slow its growth.<\/p>\n

Delta 18 and the brand-new National Space Intelligence Center were officially commissioned late last month at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. It will be staffed by nearly 350 civilian and military personnel.<\/p>\n

Delta 18’s mission is to “deliver critical intelligence on threat systems, foreign intentions, and activities in the space domain to support national leaders, allies, partners and joint war fighters,” according to a press release.<\/p>\n

The creation of the unit equips the Space Force to assist and work alongside America’s intelligence agencies by feeding them information from its growing fleet of satellites and monitoring tools. Avril Haines, President Joe Biden’s director of national intelligence, said being able to leverage new intel in space will be crucial.<\/p>\n

“In the years ahead, [space] will only become more contested,” Haines said during the ceremony activating the unit on June 24. “And as we move forward, NSIC will be relied upon to produce and analyze scientific and technical intelligence related to space for the entire nation.”<\/p>\n

While the funding of the National Space Intelligence Center was included in the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act, the start of the new unit comes as Congress warns the Space Force about continued expansion.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While I would never describe the newest service as a solution in search of a problem, every bureaucracy grows. Yet words like “redundant” and “mission creep” keep coming to mind. Thanks, David.<\/p>\n
