US President signed Space Policy Directive 4 (SPD-4) and ordering the Pentagon to establish the Space Force as the sixth branch of the United States military.
It will go along with the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard.
But establishing the Space Force will require the Congressional approval.
The proposed space force will
focus on national security and preserving the satellites and vehicles that are dedicated to international communications and observation.
Ensure autonomous access to, and freedom to operate in space, and to provide vital capabilities to joint and coalition forces.
Space could be a new warfighting domain and the US aims to be combat ready with Military Space Force.
