Trump plans to create unified US Space Command
Source: AP News
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order before the end of the year creating a U.S. Space Command as a major military command.
Vice President Mike Pence will make the announcement Tuesday at the Kennedy Space Center, in Cape Canaveral, Florida, two U.S. officials said, and Trump could sign the order as soon as Tuesday.
The move is separate from Trump’s goal of creating a “Space Force” as an independent armed service branch, but could be a step in that direction.
The U.S. Air Force’s existing Space Command would be a key component of the new joint entity, raising space to the same status as U.S. Cyber Command.

USSPACECOM was merged into USSTRATCOM in 2002 by Rumsfeld. 2006, it was reorganized into JFCC SPACE.
On December 1, 2017, Joint Functional Component Command for Space was inactivated, restructured and reorganized as Joint Force Space Component command under USSTRATCOM.
This is not the “Space Force” that the Orange CINC bragged about. In reality, Trump and Pence is going ass backwards to before Rumsfeld did the merge at tax payers expense.
