Other commenters took exception to the pants being a different color. But many seemed to agree with a commenter on Space Force’s Facebook page, who posted an image from Battlestar Galactica, saying the new uniform echoes the series. They also added one of the show’s taglines: «So say we all.»
Raymond also gave an update on how the nascent Space Force is developing. For example, the force is taking over a number of Army and Navy satellite communications operations, including their funding and ongoing missions.
«All told, 15 global units with 319 military and 259 civilian billets [job slots] from the Army and Navy combined will transfer to the Space Force,» the Defense Department said.
Describing the urgency with which the service is being created, Raymond said that the U.S. «can no longer take space for granted.»
«Space is clearly a warfighting domain and we’re convinced that if deterrence were to fail, we’re going to have to fight and win the battle for space superiority,» Raymond said. He added, «Let me be clear; we don’t want to fight in space. We want to deter that from happening.»
