U.S. Space Force emerging as critical part of Pentagon’s warfighting capabilities

21

The U.S. Space Force was established in 2019, creating the first new branch of the armed services since 1947. Its mission is to protect critical assets Americans have come to depend on like GPS and weather satellites while also providing space capabilities to the joint forces. U.S. Space Force Chief Master Sergeant John F. Bentivegna joined CBS News to discuss how the branch is used.

  1. Tbf I don’t like Trump… but even when he created it, I didn’t understand the ridicule? GPS and satellites run our modern world, of course they’d be a target in an all out war

  2. since 30-06 Rifles pre-exists female voting rights therefore it's immune to female opinions. Did you know that 30-06 rifles can be used to illustrate the degradation of the 2nd Amendment.

    😎.

  3. It was actually a very smart idea because space is becoming critical to countries, exploration, communications, and weapons tech are all critical to protecting the USA and its foray into space ..As we grow and begin to build living areas and mining operations on the moon and mars it will be all the more critical.
