Today marks the 5th birthday of the U.S. Space Force—a monumental milestone for our nation and its commitment to securing the ultimate high ground: space. In just five years, the Space Force has become a critical enabler of national defense, innovation, and international collaboration, solidifying its place as the newest branch of our armed forces.
For the Army Space community, this anniversary is a powerful reminder of our shared mission and the evolving role space plays in modern warfare. Space is no longer just a frontier—it’s a domain where joint operations, intelligence, and innovation converge to provide strategic advantages for the nation.
The partnership between the Army and the Space Force ensures that our soldiers on the ground have the tools, technologies, and data they need to operate effectively. From advanced satellite communications to missile warning systems, space capabilities empower every aspect of the mission.
As we celebrate this milestone, we honor the visionary leadership and the service members who have shaped the Space Force’s success. Together, we are pioneering a future where space remains a safe, secure, and operational domain for generations to come.
Here’s to five transformative years—and to many more ahead!
