The U.S. Space Force (USSF) is the newest independent U.S. military service branch and is tasked with missions and operations in the space domain, as the name would imply. The USSF is organized as one of two coequal military service branches within the Department of the Air Force and is overseen by the Secretary.<\/p>\n

USSF has four directorates and is structured akin to that of corporate organizations with deputy chiefs acting as human capital, operations, technology and innovation officers, and as the chief strategy and resourcing officer.<\/p>\n

The new CEO sees a glaring disconnect that requires immediate attention.<\/p>\n

Space Force’s Top General Blasts Service’s Mission Statement as ‘Long and Cumbersome’<\/h3>\n

The Space Force’s top officer told Guardians in an internal memo Monday that he’s concerned with the service’s mission statement, saying it doesn’t do a good job of summing up its role or why it’s important to national security.<\/p>\n

Military.com obtained a copy of a memo by Gen. B. Chance Saltzman, the chief of space operations, which went out to all Space Force Guardians on Monday. It detailed his frustration and why he thinks it’s likely that many in uniform can’t remember their mission statement.<\/p>\n

“How many Guardians can recite the current mission statement of the Space Force? My guess is very few,” Saltzman wrote. “My biggest concern is that the mission statement does not reflect why the Nation has a Space Force and the vital functions Guardians perform.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

OK then, here ’tis:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe USSF is a military service that organizes, trains, and equips space forces to protect the U.S. and allied interests in space and provide space capabilities to the joint force. USSF responsibilities include developing Guardians, acquiring military space systems, maturing the military doctrine for space power, and organizing space forces to present to our Combatant Commands\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Inspiring. He has a point- I’d like to know the answers to those very issues he mentioned too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
