command is a landmark moment. this is a landmark day. one that recognizes the centrality of space to america's national security and defense. under general raymond's leadership, spacecom will boldly deter aggression and outpace america's rivals by far. for 35 years, general raymond has led and commanded space operations at every level in the u.s. air force. molly, i hope you are very proud of him. i'll bet you are. i am, too. he is a warrior who has integrated space capabilities to make our military even stronger, and to pave the way for a new era of national defense. he is respected by everybody sitting in front of us, everybody in the military, and everybody that knows him. spacecom will soon be followed, very importantly, by the establishment of the united states space force as the sixth branch of the united states armed forces. and that is really something, when you think about it. the space force will organize, train, and equip warriors to support spacecom's mission. with today's action, we open another great chapter in the extraordinary history of the united states military.

space command on thursday but it is a giant leap for the pentagon to carry it out the space command creates an 11th combatant command that is the biggest thing the u.s. military has done since 2009 when it created this cyber command that was considered necessary because countries like russia and china were being accused of cyber attacks on the u.s. and other countries now this would also create in donald trump's ambitions a 5th military force in addition to the army navy air force and marines this would also create the u.s. space force it has been ridiculed by critics as the space force but many military analysts say it is necessary and that is because other countries could disrupt u.s. satellites that could disrupt the economy because so much is based on the global positioning system nowadays but it could also have military applications so the u.s. is competing in the race for space after russia china and also france have announced their own plans. next. thank you so much world number one and defending champion naomi osaka is searching this year's u.s. open 3rd round after beating magdalen
