Space Warfare: America could soon have a new branch of the military protecting outer space


U.S. Army  June 13, 1775
This We'll Defend

U.S. Air Force  September 17, 1947
Aim High ... Fly-Fight-Win

U.S. Navy  October 12, 1775
Non sibi sed patriae

U.S. Marine Corps  November 10, 1775
Semper Fidelis

U.S. Coast Guard  August 3, 1790
Semper Paratus

U.S. Space Corps (USSC) 2019?


The U.S. Space Corps (USSC) (if approved by Congress) will become a component of the U.S. Air Force just like the Marine Corps is under the Department of the Navy. The USSC will potentially adapt the rank structure of the Marine Corps/Army as its own.

Autonomous usually refers to independent thought, as in AI.
Dims and thought, let alone independent, just somehow doesn't seem to fit here.

Well, if we ever need bodies for a Cyborg army, the left is packed full of empty heads waiting for a brain.

They don't need a brain. Just MSNBC and CNN.
