Air Force Space Command was elevated to be co equal with the US Air Force within the Department of the Air Force as the US Space Force. It's commander is now the Chief of Space Operations and is now a member of the Joint Chiefs, he is also dual hated as the commander of US Space Command (which breaks a bunch of fucking rules established by Goldwater Nicols). 14th Air Force is now Space Operations Command within Space Force and Space Command's space component and runs the half a dozen Space Wings. The NDAA bar the transfer of reserves and guard until Space Force Reserves and the Space National Guard is formally created. What make this divorce tricky is, unlike the other branches of the military, Air Force Wings are responsible for managing their own bases. So when the 30th Space Wing became part of Space Force, so did Vandenberg Air Force Base since they are the host for that base. So more than half of each Space Wing's units and personnel are going to have to be from the Air Force. The Navy and Marines kind of have that relationship, Marines protect Navy nukes, Navy provides medial services, but not to the level Space Force is going to need. Which begs the question, who pays and how much say will the Air Force have regarding how Space Force bases are ran? This is all the stuff in 30th Space Wing that has to be divided up: 30th Operations Group (30 OG) 30th Space Communications Squadron (30 SCS) 2d Range Operations Squadron (2 ROPS) 30th Range Management Squadron (30 RMS) 30th Weather Squadron (30 WS) 30th Operations Support Squadron (30 OSS) 30th Launch Group (30 LCG) 1st Air and Space Test Squadron (1 ASTS) 4th Space Launch Squadron (4 SLCS) 30th Launch Support Squadron (30 LCSS) 30th Mission Support Group (30 MSG)[1] 30th Contracting Squadron (30 CONS) 30th Security Forces Squadron (30 SFS) 30th Force Support Squadron (30 FSS) 30th Logistics Readiness Squadron (30 LRS) 30th Civil Engineer Squadron (30 CES) 30th Medical Group (30 MDG) 30th Medical Operations Squadron (30 MDOS) 30th Medical Support Squadron (30 MDSS) This divorce is going to be a mess.

Depends on how well the Department of the Air Force helps out Space Force. If Space Force starts having to stand up their own basic training and training pipe lines, then it's over. Especially if those pipe lines are things that aren't space related, like Medical or Security Forces, or are the Air Force going to continue to provide those services on Space Force bases?

This is why NASA is funding 2 systems, and SLS. -
Michigan, Penn, and Wisconsin already rejected an establishment candidate in favor of Trump who himself ran on free healthcare. Moderates haven't won the White House since Bill Clinton. The rise of the right and the left is being fueled by the failure of moderates to deliver. Obama, Sanders, and Trump are all products of the same thing.
