Space Force Is The Newest US Military Branch. But What Do They Actually Do? | Boot Camp
Founded in 2019 by President Donald Trump, the United States Space Force is the newest branch of the US military. Since then it has been met with jokes, misunderstanding, and even a satirical series on Netflix.
Insider visited Buckley Space Force Base in Aurora, Colorado, to learn more about the Space Force and to document the guardians in Delta 4, who are taught to detect incoming missiles from adversaries.

Space Force Is The Newest US Military Branch. But What Do They Actually Do? | Boot Camp
Space Force might sound like a joke now but every American should remember it could become the most important branch of the US military this century.
I'll stop laughing when ODSTs become real, then I'll reenlist if I'm not long dead.
Ok senpai
As long as we forget that the Outer Space Treaty exists, it's all dandy, gotcha.
They should've called it "cyber" or "electronic". Both Russian and China re-organized theirs around 2010s, which included their satellite operations, so our move was appropriate. Just the name "space force" is ridiculous.
The XCOM project has been greenlit
In reality, all of the Space Force's capabilities already existed through other branches, primarily the Air Force. The new branch was a logistical streamlining, taking all the various parts of US space defense and putting it under one umbrella. Not necessarily needed, but it makes funding and administration much easier. One of the few positive things done for the military during the last administration.
Department of the Air Force’s Space Force.
All branches will still have related roles though. For instance, SATCOM and Cyber are still a vital part of the Army and Navy.
The thing is, the last administration only signed it into existence. ALL of the organization and heavy lifting was done during the Bush and Obama administrations. President Obama had the option to sign the branch in, but opted to pass, believing the time wasn't right. As far as how useful the Space Force is, one need only look at the war in Ukraine. They are effectively an active participant providing real-time Intel and probably assisting on the cyber front.
I agreed until you said it was a good thing for the military. It was a waste of time and money. Air Force Space Command already had the job handled.
The previous administration did something positive???
Early days, but it sounds like they're mostly focused on tech, defense, and cybersecurity. I can see this eventually becoming where the most intelligent/academically inclined military personnel sign up.
Interestingly, Australia also began it's 4th Branch of the military at the same time, called Space Command. My thoughts on this is that they are using Space to monitor ICBM's from Asia and having an ally in the South Hemisphere allows for more comprehensive surveillance.
❤ space force is not only for the USA- it is for the world- the Republic will Return.
China's also got a Space Force IIRC, and we can only imagine what they might be working on right now (anti-satellite weapons, EMP nuke vehicles, etc.). Australia especially would be foolish to not take this stuff seriously, since they're so much closer to Chinese territory. Heck, Russia did a reckless anti-satellite weapons test of their own before the war in Ukraine, and didn't tell NASA or apparently their own organization Roscomos beforehand (debris was just scattered everywhere in that orbit area). We're living in an age where everyone better start looking upwards more.
@@Blackafternoon What are you smoking ? LOL
5 eyes will always be working in close conjunction.
Lolol "buzz lightyear to space command, do you read space command?"
When the US Marine Corps was founded people living in the late 18th century could have never imagined that only two and a half centuries later, those Marines would be traveling into battle on the tilt motor Osprey, or aboard ships the size of the largest buildings that existed back then. I like to think that maybe in 250 more years the Space Force will be in full-on power armor dropping onto the surface of IO or Europa.
Yes they imagined that an even more. Mesopotamia … flying battles are ancient
Space Marines
When I heard about the Space Force, I immediately thought of Star Trek or The Expanse. I really wanted to do that kind of sci-fi stuff ever since I was a kid. Then reality hit me and I realized that we probably won't do any of that shit in my lifetime. Only 20 years old, but still I get the sense that all of that cool technology is far off from now. Damnit. Born too early.
@@CrazyCreation4 no, that won’t happen. Space travel does not work that way. Will probably never fight wars on other planets.
@@nubgaming1013 you don't know anything 😂
Space force seems inevitable, the Airforce was apart of the Army until the late 40s and became its own thing partly because of the Nuclear threat. Now that the Nuclear threat is more powerful and more difficult it seems like the appropriate response to build a Space oriented force.
Maybe the Air Force will be the USMC of the Space Force in 200 years.
@@calypsohandjack9278 I've thought of that but I think the space force already has tropps
Iran must be destroyed
They make small satellite so it hard to hit Doing that, we could have wifi if the mainland got attack
Wrong
"make sure you speak up a bit, but OUTSTANDING" I wish I joined this branch instead hahaha
I can't HEAR YOU !!
Concur. Could have been a bit more realistic.
My first assignment in the AF 20 years ago was to Air Force Space Command. It always felt like it's own world outside of the AF, with it's top heavy rank structure, no aircraft assigned to the base and the insane Space budget. Pretty cool to see it morph into it's own actual service and some of the men and women I knew as NCO's / CGO's now running the show.
Can you talk about the aliens now or is it still classified?
Now that it is its own branch it would have been your only assignment.
@@blackwater7183 or the megatons of toxins sprayed in our skies 24/7
We joke but the fact they saved troops at al Assad shows the necessity and validity of the branch to protect troops. Keep it up space force!
They saved no one. Now we'll ALL have someone to make fun of instead of the airforce. They are the first line of defense in nothing
@@gmac9987 They saved no one? ya your probably right, I'm sure all those soldiers would have evacuated anyways.
2SWS saves lives far more often than you might expect, those events just don’t typically make the news
@@gmac9987 Troll
Will those assets belong to the airforce before it’s nothing new, they’ll probably be more effective in years to come but for now they’ll just be another kid with glasses on.
As a US Army and US Air Force veteran I just want to say "Go Space Force!" This new branch of our armed forces is only going to grow and become more technical and capable every day. They are needed much more than we can imagine. We live in scary but exciting times.
No
Nano nano.
Naanoo Naanoo.
thank you for your service! i’ve been thinking of enlisting in the Air Force or Space force as an officer once i graduate with my degree
@@surefiresteak0292 thank you. It was an honor to serve. Well you will never regret it. Military service on your resume especially in a high tech field will open a lot of doors in the civilian world. Go do 20 years, see the world and retire with full benefits and you're still young enough for a second career when you get out if you choose.
I strongly believe this is gonna be the most important military branch in the future. It basically manages and controls us from above and beyond.
Nope, it's just an inefficient more taxable fusion of the others
Agreed, orbit is the new high ground. Folks thought the early Air Forces in WWI were a joke until the pilots started carrying shotguns and grenades, then it happened again in the navies in early WWII when battleships were afraid to hit the open seas without the protection of an aircraft carrier and were relegated to essentially shore bombardment. Once one satellite drops that first tungsten telephone pole on a target, or that first Dragon capsule full of Space Force techs steals an opponent's satellite. it's game on. This doesn't even get into the Luna shenanigans that are bound to start. Right now we are essentially just in the recon phase of the branch.
@@Boomer289-ol2vvit's way more efficient than having space assets split between several branches and command structures.
@@FlyingAlfredoSaucer still taxable
@@Boomer289-ol2vv Space force will easily be the most important branch in the future. It's the new frontier. You don't know what you're talking about.
OK, this was super informative. I hadn't really thought about "space force" but the breakaway of capabilities and actions makes a ton of sense in the context of all that we have going on in the world. Great video.
when I first heard of the space force it was actually from my government teacher in high school and we were all like "why would we have a space force unless aliens are out there to attack us?" little did I imagine that we would have a space force for essentially detecting missiles launched into space.
Don’t forget GPS, it’s run by the USSF
I had a teacher who was in the airforce for 20 years and said aliens were 100% real. She said she couldn't tell us how she knew for obvious reasons but she was serious
@@BigeppyFR oh they're real but they never went to visit earth just to troll some desperate group of people. your teacher is either drunk, delusional or both.
@@BigeppyFR I mean the Fermi paradox does exist
Each of those "Deltas" are like different branches in the Army. 80% of Space Forces' initial jobs came from already existing Air Force jobs, the other 20% came from the Army. It also includes cyberspace... This was a great idea and is revolutionary.
I thought it was a joke of the military but seeing what they actually doing made me think this will be extremely important for future world Wars to come
They basically pulled a bunch of Air Force and navy space guys and made a branch
@@runnin_myles8098 And make it more efficient.
There will be no future world wars. Nukes exsist
@@phantomlegend6167 don't forget about limited distance they would have to get close enough to use them on the USA unlike uk so at least we can try to blow up submarine and 2 of there nuke planes so I think we're at least ok
Don't forget that the Air Force was also initially a part of the Army until they split into seperate branches
From this extent it would be a good idea that they United States Air Force Create a separate branch that handles different defense operations known as the United Space Force- Considered as Earth and Space Defense, That handles 9 operations. I say having the U S S F is a good idea.
they will probably end up with a lagrange 2 force at some point in 100 years too. they're going more by spheres than by fluids they travel through.
Thing that sucks about spaceforce is we won't really know much about its missions or technology. It could end up with space ships that make anything the public knows about look like trash but we won't ever be told
...what makes you think we don't already have a space carriers? and for the last 50 years being fully operational.
@@HappyBuddhaBoyd Thats my point, we don't know and we aren't allowed to know lol
@G G Space force isn't even the real space force anyway, the real space force has 8 combat medals so they have been doing something up there.
@@yesterdayschunda1760 actually after deeply learning about space forces i have found out that Russia blames US about their new prototype drone which is a X-37B Spaceplane as a nuclear space bomber which also classifies as a spaceship just like Nasa's Shuttle rockets which are **spaceships** the reason why those things are called spaceships is because if it is capable of moving in the space are already considered/classified as a spaceship which also HAVE to fly in the atmosphere to land and be reused while things that orbits around the earth with lower energy to move in the space/orbits the earth for a long period time are called satelites
@@saga_hee From my research the USA collapsed the Soviet Union via its space attacks from 1988-2001, Turns out that is what those air force shuttles were doing.
current space force guardian here, glad to see the narrative has shifted on us as a service. i remember in BMT all the other trainees would refer to us as space puppies, but rest assured we are a very tight knit group and we are the future
Yeah right Ive seen you intel boys the only tight knit group you guys are a part of are LAN parties

To infinity and beyond. If they had this branch before, I would’ve join in a heart beat.
It did exist. It was called "Air Force: Space Command"
They did they used to be a part of the air force. anyone calling it a new branch is not entirely accurate.

Can't wait to see how Space Force develops fully into their skills and if they gain more duties later on as they prove themselves to the other military branches and the US.
I definitely gained a better understanding and respect for this new branch of our military with this video; thanks!!!
Everyone laughed at the Air Force when it was created, saying it's unnecessary for it to split off from the Army Air Corps. Now it's arguably the most important branch in the military period.
That still doesn’t justify turning the Air Force Space Command into a new branch of the military. President bone Spur just got talked into it and it sounded good.
@@jamesgabaldon1239 You can criticize Trump all you want but if we were to think of this purely in military standards the Space domain is absolutely a need for a new branch, sure the AF could do it and have been doing it for a while but with the SF focusing on space and AF focusing on air superiority I think it's the right call.
@@impakt6345 You can think what you want. As an Air Force veteran of 20 years and a former Army commander who has studied national defense strategy and national security for over 35 years, I still don’t buy the storyline that we needed to creat a “Space Force” when the job was already handled 100% by the Air Force Space Command, which was completely focused on exactly what the Space Force is doing. Exact same job,.
@@jamesgabaldon1239 You were never payed for what you believe. You were payed to follow instructions. A technocrat always makes decisions for military. Any/all major decisions were always above your head. Decisions have been made for you your entire life. Stop acting like your belief/ideas matter. You give suggestions at any rank of the military, then keep your mouth shut. Fall in line soldier
@@jamesgabaldon1239 wdym
let me make it simple, they protect our telecommunications which is critical to our security and our quality of life. Anything that requires transferring data over a cable or satellite is what they monitor and defend. The air force used to do this but given the importance of telecommunication infrastructure it required a dedicated branch. And going by this video it looks like they rolled some other responsibilities into the space force. Missile defense is no joke, hell they are basically a modern version of NORAD.
They should be called "satellite and missile systems" force.
Wow! Excellent Information! I had no clue about the purpose of this new branch of our military! Thanks for the excellent video!
I’m a scout army but this lowkey look cool🤣 like those movie scenes when everyone is sitting around one computer freaking out
Thank you for sharing your mission. I believe this is a critical branch of the military that the term "guardians" really applied to the protection of the country. I wish I'm young cuz I used to love space. I always went to the library and read the encyclopedia about galaxies, stars and space. My kid doesn't know what to do after his contract is done. I think this branch is a great place to continue your mission to serve your country.
I plan to join at some point in my life. I’m not old enough to commission yet, but I already have a nasa internship in high school, so I hope I can contribute to it. Don’t worry. There’s people like me who will take up the roles that need to be played.
As an army veteran, thanks to all those serving in the Space Force 🫡 🇺🇸
As an Army veteran I think it's sad people join the Space Force when in reality we have never been to space because the firmament encloses our world. Satellite's are on huge balloons and they crash around the world constantly. NASA is the biggest purchaser of helium in the world. It's just another lie to hide God.

That funny feeling when you trained with or directly know people on KZhead. We do good work at Buckley. And it's importance to us all, kinsman, and ally alike can not be understated.
Really enjoyed my time at Vandenberg space force base. Great facility and operations.
This sounds amazing. Can we get a new video on Army shared operations?
Simply brilliant
Deep Space Tracking System or DSTS. Is what they were called at RAF Feltwell AFB. It’s the ONLY mission that base has had since 2000 and it was still operating in 2013. The CATM & K-9 Kennels for RAF Lakenheath & RAF Mildenhall were built there in late 90’s to justify keeping it open sense the DSTS are unique assets.
When the Air Force was in charge of the SIBRS system I was in JTAGS in the Army. JTAGS use both the SIBRS sattalites and DSP sattlites and have a crew of only 3 Soldiers forward deployed in combat theatre pulling the same mission as the SIBRS crew of 35 Airmen. The ammount of time the crew of 35 Airmen consistently incorrectly identified missiles was astonishing. They would consitently label SRBM's as MRBM's all the time. It was quite pathetic. The missile warning center would consistently ring us up cause the 4 JTAGS Sites would label a missile and SIBRS would label it completly different. It's is a pretty big deal when 2 JTAGS sites label a possible threat as an SRBM comming out of North Korea that is gonna impact in the ocean but SIBRS is saying they launched an ICBM with a projected impact on the west coast.
I really appreciated this video. I gave me a new insight into what the Space Force branch is really about. Not just one big joke.
It would be less confusing if it was called Space Guard like Coast Guard instead of Space Force. They basically guard Space domain. They are not an offensive force. I see as more and more civilian companies launch into space and manned space missions become common, Sace Force/Space Guard may also provide a Search and rescue serice like the Coast Guard and maybe an interdiction of illegal substances too (Though I dont think anything is illegal in space yet)
I remember being in when this was being talked about we all laughed but like always we are brothers in arms and we will support one another. I’m glad there are people who still want to enlist, if you’re gonna join go officer though it’s worth the extra time for boot camp both in your personal life and professional life whilst in or post service for the remainder of your life. Take your time in thinking about it and then decide don’t rush.
When you consider the pushback Naval Aviation had when it 1st started, I can see where the Space Force is going. A decade from now, it will be our best defense force. I also think it will always be mostly secret in nature. edit = the word Force added.
This is awesome cant lie. I wonder if they will get a Special forces unit like the other branches thatd be sweet
2:03 the way he used his m4 as a support to go from kneeling to standing 😢 other than that great video
I think the Space Force needs their own style of uniforms. Seems silly to wear camo at a domestic base. This should be the branch of the future, so they should look futuristic. I know their dress uniforms look like the ones from BSG, but their everyday ones should be coveralls or something. Really lean into the entire future fantasy. There's nothing wrong with having function AND form.
they could wear jumpsuits kind of like a fighter pilot or an astronaut.
@@edgeldine3499 I don't think it should be a jumpsuit but I think it should be made to be compatible with potential future US military space suits. Flexible and tight fit, sort of like a jumpsuit.
Bring on the future drip
They should wear helmets, eye protection, and spandex body suits. Combat leotards.
they should be issued uniforms that look like Levi's denim overalls, an off white t-shirt and a bass pro shop hat so as to blend in with the local population.
It's going to take me some time to adapt about hearing the space force is a thing. I was in the service when it was introduced but even then Ive never heard of it until I think last year

Space Force reminds me when the Army Air Corps was split off to the Air Force after WW2. Probably the same pros/cons from various political leaders and general public about the split back then. Zero complaints today about the Army Air Corps split. I imagine Space Force will be indispensable just like the Air Force in the decades to come.
The Army Air Corps was replaced by the Army Air Forces in 1941. It was the Army Air Forces who split from the Army on 18 September 1947 to form the Air Force.
@@baron7755 Nice to know. The major change was in 1947 when newly formed Air Force branch became an independent fighting military branch with equal footing with the Army, Navy, Marianes, and Coast Guard and didn't need to report within the Army chain-of-command. Space Force!
If we're ever allowed to create weaponized satellites and space crafts then maybe so
I was involved with the U.S. Air Force for a number of yrs. I know an still do
My AF instructors always called me a space cadet. I was before my time.
I am eagerly anticipating the Hexagon.
I always knew during my military time there would be a space component. Didn't know how it would form or what their missions would look like. I think eventually they'll be in space themselves. Probably have stations in orbit/space they deploy to.
Right now we aren’t up to that, next step might be orbital rail guns
Imagine how many people who laughed and scoffed at the idea of an air force 100 years ago. Most people had either never seen an airplane and still thought that flight was just a childish dream. Now having air superiority is one of, if not, the most important asset to a military. I hope I live long enough for the space force to take over that roll.
No, a hundred years ago would have been 1922/23. We had just come out of the largest war the world had ever seen to date. Aircraft conflict was taken very seriously, especially with the invention of the bomber in the later part of the war. Most people strongly believed that aircraft would dominate the next war, which it turned out they did.
Basically they detect and block missiles and possible icbms.
Everything I thought I knew about the Space Force was wrong, I thought it was a branch focusing on preparing for possible alien threats but this is also cool

Jw, I may be wrong. so, let's say instead of 20 different people, it's just 5 handling an issue. Space Force was formed to identify and catch, or shall I say take the stress off the other branches. I feel like people don't understand the newest branch, but also don't understand the reason. it is better to have 2 hands on something them 30 hands on something. if you can't understand the reason why this branch was made then you have not looked at the USA history.

Dam I missed out. This job would be perfect for me. No fighting, running, doing pushups, etc. Sitting around and playing with computers is fun.
I’m going to assume retaining personnel in the Space Force will very difficult past the first contract. Most of these jobs will pay very very well in the civilian sector. Can’t imagine it’s a very hard decision to reenlist or not.
As a current member of the space force looking at separating (trying to get something more stable for family life), this is VERY true. Space Force experience makes you extremely hirable to hundreds of companies that will pay well above 6 figures as long as you're semi-competent. I'm a year out, and I've already had a multitude of different companies messaging me on LinkedIn trying to hire me. If you have anyone who's debating it, push them into it ASAP, and make sure they go officer. I will say though, the amount of people trying to get in is insane. I don't think the Space Force will have trouble with recruitment anytime in the next several decades. It's tiny, between 10,000 and 20,000 personnel, with limited jobs. They'll fill their lower ranks, but may struggle maintaining higher leadership positions.
@@yaxleader I’m considering joining the Space Force, for cybersecurity, how high does my ASVAB test need to be
@@lawrencebello6177 I went officer so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I don't believe the Space Force has posted ASVAB score requirements for careers yet. However, the Air Force requires a General score of 64 minimum. Since people are applying for the Space Force in droves, I'd say you'd want at least an 80 ideally and minimum 70 if you have other qualifications/certifications. If you have a bachelors, you could go the officer route. Space Force officers tend to be utilized in operational roles and only go managerial after 4-10 years. Very atypical compared to other branches. You also get paid 3X as much
“There’s very few operators that go to space”….. so we do have Star Wars troops😳😳 7:55
I thought the same thing... I was like "please tell us more" 🍿 🍿
Astronauts a lot are military officers
There are astronauts who are officers in Space Force
Oh Wow, I didn't know about the split off from the Air Force. I'm curious as to how this will work out.
I can strickly bark and wail a song to a sad dog and have him happy, recognize my Jedi prowess! Immma master!
No satellites mean no WiFi and no GPS. The US government realized that it needed to be protected and it also offers another line of defense in cybersecurity
Imagine the job opportunities that will be available to the students just getting out of high school or college from this
You’ll need at least a secret but preferably a TS/SCI go get a job there but if you can get that you’ll be making 6 digits easily
Omg they even call them guardians !
They didn’t pick the name 😢
of course they do, because some 4 decades ago their predecessor, USAF Space Command, were called Guardians of the Frontier.
"Eyes up, guardian!"
Absolutely needed and will evolve over time and expand capabilities etc. … it’s new but a front line of the near future. Just wish they kept the more usual military terms vs Guardian and the more creative names
