The Space Force Association (SFA) is the only nonprofit dedicated to educating, supporting, and connecting the public with the mission of the U.S. Space Force.
It's here: the National Spacepower Review, a new publication on the future of national security space. The 1st issue examines how the Space Force was built & where it's headed.
Plus: our new series Beyond the Page kicks off with CSO Gen. Douglas Schiess: ussfa.org/national-spacepowe…
In 1926 the entire US rocket program was a steel frame in a field. Goddard logged "the first flight with a rocket using liquid propellants" at his aunt's farm.
Nearly 25,000 satellites later. Over half since 2022.
Tony Frazier, SFA's America 250 issue:
SFA’s participation in the Ulchi Freedom Shield Space Warfigher Appreciation Exercise wrap-up event reflects our commitment to supporting Guardians wherever they serve. SFA is proud to support the Guardian community and the mission of Space Forces Korea.
The Space Force's FY27 Interservice Transfer window opened Sept. 15 and closes Oct. 2. Active-duty Airmen, Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines can apply to become Guardians. Priority selection goes to applicants assessed as not requiring retraining into space, intel, or cyber roles.
Those needing retraining are still considered. or medical hold makes a member ineligible. Selection notification is expected January 2027. Full process documents, MyVector instructions, crosswalk, and FAQ are posted on the Space Force transfer page.
As I reiterated today, Guardians operate on-orbit weapons that can defend the Joint Force against space-enabled attacks. We don’t just monitor the domain. We stand ready to defend it, all with the ultimate aim of deterring conflict.
“We are increasing readiness against existing threats, and the United States has on-orbit space control weapons capable of defending the Joint Force against hostile adversary action.”

In his first keynote as Chief of Space Operations, Gen. Douglas Schiess made it clear that the Space Force doesn’t just monitor space, it’s ready to defend it: The Space Force “operates on orbit weapons that can defend the Joint Force against space enabled attacks.”
Space control has been in Space Force doctrine since the service published its warfighting framework in 2025. the confirmation is that hardware is already there.
During Operation Epic Fury, Space Force capabilities were part of the minimum force package. The Joint Force, in his words, could not and would not move forward without them.
Today, we pause to honor the innocent lives lost on September 11, 2001.
We honor their memory. We honor the first responders who ran toward danger without hesitation. And we hold close the families who still carry that day with them.
We will never forget. 🇺🇸
We're counting the days to Spacepower Conference. If you don't already have tickets, they're going fast. Head to attendspacepower.org and secure your spot before its too late.
Before the Space Force, space warfighters already delivered significant effects to the Joint Force through GPS and SATCOM. Gen. Schiess highlights the necessity of Space Superiority amid increasing threats, stressing its critical role in deterrence and potential defense in orbit.
General Douglas Schiess was sworn in as the third Chief of Space Operations, closing his remarks with a promise: to empower the men and women of the Space Force to even greater success.
Congratulations, General Schiess.
Congratulations, General Douglas A. Schiess, who took command yesterday as the Space Force's third Chief of Space Operations! After 34 years across ICBM, GPS, and space warfighting commands, he's the operator this service needs. Well deserved, General.
STARCOM has launched the 320th Recruiting Squadron—the Space Force’s very first dedicated recruiting squadron. They’re connecting with communities and schools nationwide to find the talent needed for our space mission!

For 7 years, Space Force Honor Guard wore a modified Air Force uniform to every ceremony. Last weekend, that ended.
The Space Force Honor Guard debuted a wholly original ceremonial uniform at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington
Dark coat, distinctive Space Force blue accents, delta insignia. Distinctly Space Force.
This matters more than it might appear. A uniform is how a military institution says we are a distinct thing with a distinct purpose.
The Space Force has spent six years making that distinction through its structure, its promotion system, its rank names, and now, its ceremonial dress. Each of those is a small act of deliberate identity-building. SFA exists to advocate for the Guardians building that culture.
