Abstract

The purpose of our research project is to identify the best way to create the new military force commonly known as the Space Force. There are many ideas of how to go about doing this, which we will cover in our research. We will also cover some of the problems encountered during the creation process of other branches such as the Air Force. The Air Force faced a lot of resistance to new ideas when they were created, the space force will most likely face similar issues. The Space Force will need to come up with solutions to avoid an insubordination situation similar to what happened with some leaders of the early Air Force. One major point of discussion is the decision between creating a separate department of the military or a service branch under the umbrella of the Air Force. We will be looking into the political and legislative side of this discussion and attempt to answer the question: Should Space fall under the domain of the Air Force, or should it be categorized separately under a new domain and department?
