The U.S. Space Force (USSF) is a new branch
of the Armed Forces. It was established on December 20, 2019 with
enactment of the Fiscal Year 2020 National Defense Authorization
Act. The USSF was established within the Department of the Air
Force, meaning the Secretary of the Air Force has overall
responsibility for the USSF, under the guidance and direction of the
Secretary of Defense. Additionally, a four-star general known as the
Chief of Space Operations (CSO) serves as the senior military member
of the USSF.
