Abstract

The creation of a modern, separate military branch dedicated to the frontiers of space, has created lots of discussion. This project will be reviewing the evolution of suggested Space Force programs over the last decade. The strengths and weaknesses of each plan will then be compiled and compared to the current plan to create a separate Space Force, as signed by President Donald J. Trump on February 19, 2019. The future budget for the current plan is expected to be released soon and will be analyzed. It is also expected that leadership problems will be found inherent with creating a new military division. These problems will be examined and suggestions on how to avoid growing pains for above leadership problems will be presented.
