United States Space Force becomes sixth branch of US military
The Pentagon's newest addition is out of this world - literally! President Donald Trump signed the National Defense Authorization Act, officially establishing the United States Space Force as the sixth branch of the US Armed Forces, a move 72 years in the making since the Air Force was established in 1947. This historic milestone marks a new frontier in national security, as the Space Force is poised to play a vital role in protecting American interests in space and cyberspace. With the motto "Semper Supra" or "Always Above," this new branch is expected to focus on defending satellites, GPS, and other space-based assets crucial to modern warfare.
