Lightening the load on the Air Force is nice and all, though we've had someone advocating for a cyberspace force in terms of spin-offs from the Air Force a while longer. And it's not like the Air Force Association hasn't been hinting at it for years. Whereas this same proposal from last year was shot down by Trump himself. Even USAF's Secretary wasn't so hot on the idea of more hoops to jump through: “I could not agree more that now is the time to address the threats our nation faces in space, which is why the Air Force has proposed a 20 percent increase in space funding in this year’s budget, and announced last week a reorganization that integrates, elevates and normalizes space,” the secretary said.In a statement sent to SpaceNews, Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson said the service is taking steps to bolster space operations.
