The US House of Representatives Committee on Armed Forces (HASC) voted to create "space troops" (the name has not yet been approved), the sixth branch of the country's military forces. If the plan for the creation of this kind of troops is approved by the presidential administration, a new military department will appear in 2018. Within the framework of the radical reorganization of the US Air Force, it was proposed to create a new branch of the military forces, which will carry out all the "space" tasks. To date, the Air Force is engaged in this. Despite everything, the creation of "comic troops" will require about $ 700 billion - much more than the presidential administration can allocate. So the appearance of the sixth branch of the US military is under big question. In Russia, the Aerospace Force (VCS) is a type of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, formed in 2015, as a result of the unification of the Air Force (Air Force) and the Air Defense Space Troops. The Russian Defense Ministry's directives state the following: "Aerospace forces are a type of the Russian Armed Forces intended to conduct reconnaissance of the aerospace situation, to open the beginning of an air and missile air and space attack and to alert state and military authorities about it, to repel aggression in aerospace and defense against attacks from space and from the air control posts of the highest levels of state and military administration, administrative and political centers, industrial-economical regions, important facilities of the country and groupings of troops, the destruction of critical enemy facilities and forces with the use of conventional and nuclear weapons, as well as for aviation support and combat operations of the troops of the service branches and arms, launching spacecraft (launches of ICBMs) and control them in orbital flight. "
On March 14, 2018, US President Donald Trump announced the possibility of creating specialized troops to conduct military operations in outer space. "My new national space strategy recognizes that in outer space military operations can be carried out, as on land, in air and in water. We can even have space forces, "Trump said, speaking to representatives of the US Marine Corps in San Diego.
