On Dec. 18, as the U.S. Space Force approached its first anniversary, Vice President Mike Pence announced the naming of its members as “guardians,” previously known as “space professionals. “The Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Guardians will defend our nation for generations to come,” Pence said. President Trump later tweeted his congratulations, saying that one of the great accomplishments the Trump administration will bring into the future will be the authorization and launch of the “Space Force.
For its part, the TAAF explained in a tweet, “Guardian is a name with a long history in space operations, dating back to the original Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) command motto ‘Guardians of the High Frontier’ in 1983.” “The name ‘Guardian’ connects our proud heritage and culture to the vital missions performed around the clock to protect the people and interests of the United States and our allies.”
At a time when the Chinese Communist Party is in deep collusion with the U.S. deep state, stealing U.S. election results and wreaking havoc on the United States, it is quite meaningful that members of the PAF are labeled “Guardians,” i.e., guarding the people and interests of the United States and its allies, and the major target of their sword is the Chinese Communist Party.
On Dec. 20, 2019, Trump signed the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020, which officially authorizes the Department of Defense to establish a sixth U.S. armed force responsible for space operations – the U.S. Space Force (U.S. SOF). -U.S. Space Force (U.S. Space Force), the first addition of a separate branch of the U.S. military in nearly seven decades, which fits with the reorientation of the U.S. national security strategy.
The new U.S. Space Force is based on the 1982 Air Force Space Command, which is still under the Air Force in terms of administration, personnel and construction, but its operational chain of command is led by the newly established Secretary of Operations for the U.S. Space Force. In January, Air Force General John Raymond was appointed as the first Secretary of Operations for the USAF. He has extensive experience in the Air Force, having been in charge of Operations, Plans and Requirements Deputy Chief of Staff for many years.
When he signed the bill, Trump said, “Space – there’s a lot of things happening in space because space is the world’s newest field of operations. It’s absolutely critical that the United States is in space, and that we’re leading, but not leading enough, and we’ll soon be a lot ahead.” “The Space Force will help us deter aggression and control the ultimate high ground.”
What’s really happening in space? Why is space the world’s new field of operations? How can the U.S. Space Force help the United States deter aggression and control the ultimate high ground? There is so much to explore behind Trump’s words.
The Space Strategy report released in June of this year may provide some insight. The report states, “Both China and Russia are aggressively deploying weapons in space and weaponizing it in order to undermine the military capabilities of the United States and its allies and to limit our freedom in space.” Clearly, the development of Russian and Chinese power in space is posing a great threat to the United States, especially to the Chinese Communist Party, which is intent on subverting the United States.
In fact, back in January 2007, the Chinese Communist Party drew international attention and strong criticism for launching a modified ballistic missile with a kinetic anti-satellite weapon warhead that destroyed a weather satellite. In a March 30 report released by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, Hudson Institute researcher Mary C. Fitz-Gerald noted that the Chinese Communist Party has been secretly building a blueprint for controlling space over the past decade or so as part of its military modernization efforts to gain dominance over global space warfare in the 21st century, making it the greatest threat to global space warfare. The Chinese Communist Party has become the biggest threat to global space warfare.
According to Fitzgerald, the CCP’s objectives in developing its military space warfare capabilities and technologies are at least twofold: (1) to develop powerful launch vehicles to carry digital reconnaissance satellites for all-weather space image reconnaissance; and (2) to develop new-generation solid-fuel rockets to carry microsatellites to build space networks with precise positioning, communication, and electromagnetic jamming and reconnaissance functions. The Chinese Communist Party has invested a lot of money in the development of space, space information warfare, space electronic warfare, anti-satellite warfare, anti-missile warfare, and integrated anti-space and anti-aircraft warfare.
Imagine, once the evil Chinese Communist Party gains the lead in space power, it will be a threat not only to the national security of the United States, but to all democracy-loving nations of the world. After Trump was elected president, the U.S. gradually recognized the ambition and threat of the Chinese Communist Party, and Trump elevated the status of the Space Force at the end of 2019.
The threat from the Chinese Communist Party and Russia should be clear to all in the USAF. The Space Strategy report lists three major goals for the TACF, namely, to maintain U.S. space dominance; to provide space support for all joint military operations; and to “ensure space stability” – that is, to deter aggression and maintain international agreements in space with sustained patrols that similar to the Navy conducting police patrols in international waters.
By maintaining U.S. space dominance and ensuring space stability, it can deter potential adversaries and prevent military conflicts in space; and its provision of space information support for conventional combat forces, including early warning monitoring of ballistic missiles, providing battlefield situational surveillance for ground and maritime operations, and undertaking strategic communications and weather protection, is actually warning potential adversaries that the odds of waging conventional war are not high with the support of the TACF.
On Jan. 9 of this year, the first TAAF operation used the Space-Based Infrared System’s missile warning satellite to monitor Iranian ballistic missiles fired at U.S. bases in Iraq, providing early warning to U.S. ground forces.
On March 13, the Space and Missile Systems Center of the Air Force announced that after more than a year of testing, version 10.2 of the Anti-Communications System has been delivered to the 4th Space Control Squadron at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo. The Anti-Communications System is a new ground-based communications jammer that temporarily paralyzes enemy satellite transmissions and is the first USAF “offensive” equipment to appear in the media.
In August, the USAF released the service’s Capstone, a guidance document entitled “Space Force,” which defines the “three major responsibilities” of the USAF The document defines the “three major responsibilities”, “five major capabilities” and “seven major subjects” of the U.S. Air Force, which are to maintain freedom of action in space, improve joint lethality and effectiveness, and provide independent military options for U.S. national leadership. Note that its third major responsibility is to “provide independent military options for national leadership in conflict. In other words, military space power is not just an adjunct to land power, maritime power, air power, and cyber power, but can also be strategically effective on its own, and Trump is perfectly capable of using PAF power to deal a huge blow to the Chinese Communist Party.
It is also worth noting that the “five major capabilities” of the TAAF – space security, force projection, space mobility and logistics, information flow, and space area awareness – include the option of “active offense. In other words, the PAF can be both defensive and offensive. Offensive operations target the enemy’s space and counterspace capabilities, reducing their lethality and effectiveness, and even attacking enemy ground and cyber facilities.
The “seven subjects” imply at least three types of operations: orbital, electromagnetic, and cyber. Just last month, the U.S. Air Force set up a unit dedicated to space “orbital warfare”, named “Space Delta 9”. It is said that in the future, the U.S. military’s mysterious X-37B air and space unmanned aircraft will also be included in its chain of command.
What scares the Chinese Communist Party is that its satellites, communication networks and submarine cables have all been monitored by the U.S. Air Force. Not long ago, some overseas self-published media revealed that the U.S. Pacific Air Force has already grasped the evidence of the Chinese Communist Party’s interference in the U.S. election by intercepting the Chinese Communist Party’s satellite signals (perhaps using the very anti-communication system), which is the concrete manifestation of its guarding the United States.
There is no doubt that the rapid development of the U.S. TAAF and the strengthening of its early warning and detection capabilities for global strategic missiles, the monitoring of satellite communications, networks and submarine cables will not only directly weaken the strategic nuclear deterrence of the CCP, but also allow for advance warning when the CCP provokes a ballistic missile launch, and even destroy the CCP’s Beidou satellite system if necessary, shut down all CCP communication networks and cut off submarine cables, so that the CCP Rocket forces lose their combat power significantly and render all of the CCP’s land, sea, and air combat systems instantly inoperable. If the Chinese Communist Party wants to provoke the U.S. in any way, it will obviously have to take a good look at it.
