Role and mission
The U.S. Space Force’s mission is to "organize, train, and equip space forces in order to protect U.S. and allied interests in space and to provide space capabilities to the joint force. Its responsibilities include developing military space professionals, acquiring military space systems, maturing the military doctrine for space power, and organizing space forces to present to the Combatant Commands
As I mentioned earlier, its precursor was US Space Command, which was in existence before Trump was a twinkle in his mother’s eye…
…well, at least before he became President.
Trump wanted his space warriors to wear invisible suits so that the enemy couldn’t see them coming. When he found out that that was not an option, he threw a tantrum and said, “Well then let them just wear Army uniforms.”
The newly unveiled logo for US President Donald Trump’s Space Force appears to have boldly gone where Star Trek went before.
Twitter users noted that the emblem, revealed by the president, bears an uncanny likeness to the insignia from the cult sci-fi TV series.
But others online insisted the logo was really based on the US Air Force one.
Unveiling the insignia on Friday, Mr Trump tweeted: “After consultation with our Great Military Leaders, designers, and others, I am pleased to present the new logo for the United States Space Force, the Sixth Branch of our Magnificent Military!”
It’s not really a close copy but, along with camouflage uniforms, the result is hilarious ……
I don’t see what is so funny. What people are forgetting is that the U.S. space force personnel are working on the ground. They merely happen to have the same uniform as their fellow airmen who are not in the space force. Simple a case of saving money by not having entirely new uniforms.
And that’s not as silly as it sounds …
Didn’t those poor souls in Space 1999 wear grey onesies to blend in with the lunar landscape ? … Though I’m not sure about the coloured arm sleeves …red, yellow, brown.
Yes, USAF Space Command has been around since I was 30 though, admittedly, the new insignia does resemble what Captain Picard and his crew seem to wear!
However, I prefer the ARSE equivalent. Much more subtle.
