where the satellites rome is larger than the earth itself or the other domains of the army, navy, air force, marine corps so you see the logic for this on geographical grounds. you see the logic for a separate space force on physics grounds. objects in space differently than objects anywhere else and even the atmosphere seems close to space in some sense is governed by entirely different laws of movement. these are the satellites in orbit so also space is becoming a very important area of military activity. at been true for 60 years so there's really nothing hugely different about that except now we plan to view space and we have been using space in a more tactical way for targeting and we have senators, russia and china have the capacity to do so almost as well if not as well as the united states in the near future and therefore space is becoming more competitive . there are a lot of reasons why one would see a case for giving more attention to space and i think all of us would agree with that but some people would say this is an argument for a space force, a separate military service. the

creation of the air force.it proved as the advocates said there was a separate entity for the air force. will it take something like a berlin airlift challenge to spur forward any kind of development of a space force, space corps, whatever you want to call it? thank you. >> so to answer why we give the floor first to secretary james because she had a question addressed to her and then i want more questions with the historic flavor and like me, he's one of the older people on the panel. secretary over to you. >> i think it's a virtual certainty. if a space force is legislated and goes through, it's a virtual certainty that it will be a huge undertaking. it will consume a lot of time, effort, thinking. absolutely it will be, call it a distraction. it could be the best thing since sliced parade. it can't help, but slow the momentum, but they're focused on getting things done. who is going to report to who and how do we get the directives written and all the things going into creating a brand new bureaucracy. a mil

air force. the air force air force smallest and oldest we have ever had. the heritage foundation of military strength rates our air force's readiness as being barely marginal and marginal processes and inputs and resources, you get marginal results. i think both sides of the aisle, my democrat colleagues would agree that our troops deserve better than marginal support. more of a quarter of our fighter pilot positions are unfilled. and what they need to crew their aircraft, the gap that the air force secretary said could quote, break the force. that's from our secretary of the air force. last year, almost one-third of the air force' planes were not flyable and the average age is 30 years old. not only are we compromising our abilities but aviation accidents are on the rise. we now have four times as many service members dying in training-related accidents than in combat. we matched the number of noncombat crashes in the air force than we had all of last year. between 2013 and 2017, we had 133 military accidents leading to deaths, that is a 0% increase over

quite often when air force wonderlands, there can bea when air force wonderlands, there can be a delaying theirfinal costu mes together, getting theirfinal costumes on, getting ready for the barrage of cameras and photographers that are here at stansted to mark their arrival. and when that happens, when the door opens, they will come down those steps, they will come down those steps, they will be greeted by those dignitaries. dignitaries. you can properly hear the engine is nowjust being starting to shut down. the plane just at a standstill now. they will come down those steps as i was saying and they will get greeted by those dignitaries and then they will make their way across to the left of your picture to wear those two helicopters are waiting. the other members on the flight, the other members on the flight, the other members of staff, the travelling press corps that goes with the president everywhere at the back of the plane an air force one, they will eventually come down those steps. they will

, a tra nsfer today for the royal air force, a transfer the air force to reflect on its achievementsith what is going to happen over perhaps the next 100 years or so. to look at what it would be like to be part of events today, i'm joined by captain willie hackett. can i ask on a personal level but it is like to be involved in the centenary of the service you have worked in for so long? it's an amazing day and personally very interesting. i've beenin personally very interesting. i've been in the air force for nearly 30 years. ever since i was a little boy i wanted to be a fighter pilot in the air force and many are proud of out the air force and many are proud of our service. we realise that we're here because of the great people we have worked with over the years but we are very much looking towards the future as well. our service is very much about technology, working with good people inside and outside the service and bringing security to the nation. and that is reflected in the celebration, we will see bombers which you have had experience on, but the future is being much today a

next, we visit lab air force base to learn about its role in world war ii -- ladd air force base to learn about its role in world war ii. >> this airfield probably had as much to do as any facility in the army with winning world war ii. not a single shot was ever fired from here. the military value of alaska was noted clear back in 1905 when lieutenant billy mitchell, an aviator of some fame who grew up to be the commander of the army air force. he came to alaska to chein a telephone line from ken to valdez. that is the first noted american military interest in alaska. billy mitchell later in his career testified in front of congress that the strategic value of alaska was enormous. in fact, he said, and is still quoted to this day, whoever controls alaska controls the world because of its strategic location. if you look at the world on a flat projection, it looks like the shortest distance from the west coast to california -- west coast of california to japan is a straight line, and it is not. if you look at it on the globe, you will see a straight line between san francisco and tokyo act

he resigns from the air force, he takes a civilian job. he takes a job with the cia to fly top-secret u-2 spy planes over foreign countries overseas. by 1955 this was top-secret, no one had ever heard of this plane. it was developed by the cia to do overhead reconnaissance. it was specifically designed by kelly johnson. he designs the plane. the general of the air force and the cia are trying to figure out who's going to control it. eisenhower wanted it to be run by the cia. his rationale was the following, it is a military plane with a military pilot flying over a foreign hostile country. that would be considered an act of war. but if it's a civilian pilot and civilian plane flying over a foreign hostile country, it would be espionage, a slap on the wrist. so cia has control of this program, they scour the air force to try and find fighter pilots that can do these missions. he starts to fly in 1956. to the left of the stage or your right, we have one of the evils. this particular photo is of baghdad, the presidential palace. that was one

air force operation. one could not exist without the other. it was civilian pilots and civilian planes because it was the cia. they use military bases and military personnel to assist with the mission planning, whether planning and other aspects of the mission. that opened up the door for dad to be awarded some metals. in 2000, may 1, the 40th anniversary of the shoe don't, you would -- he was awarded with the pow medal. the distinguished frying -- flying cross and the directors medal from the cia. we were very honored and humbled that they awarded my father as a hero to the country. ofan added bonus, in june 2012, the air force awarded my father with the silver star. honored and humbled to know that our government came full circle. they acknowledge my father as a hero to the country and help to second record -- set the record straight. it goes to show that is never too late to set the record straight. we are very honored to know they did that after all that time. this gets back to the point about the misinformation. misinformation continues t

on-base, we have one of the largest exceptional family member program to the air force.hat is basically a program for air force members and their dependents to get a little bit more enhanced medical care. a lot of those members are the ones with children with some of the behavioral requirements, or needs, that might not be able to go to large events with lots of loud noise. and so, that was a definite benefit that these are a little bit different noises, and especially because it was on- base, so families will have that support. >> and captain, what do something like this cost? a fireworks show could cost tens of thousands of dollars. what about this one? >> i actually don't know the price of this one. that is because intel, through that partnership, they are putting the show on free of cost for us. as well as anyone that would be able to see it. oh, intel might be the better ones to ask about that. >> captain, i have to ask you here, a lot of people with hear about this trend we are seeing in a lot of different cities. and, a lot of the traditionalists will say, there i

air force one has landed.you from. this is a golf resort owned by the trump organisation. as we know, because the president goes to mara lago in florida, he likes to stay at his own property. his son eric described as his favourite property, his father's favourite property so donald trump would have had no persuading to add this to his itinerary, after nato and checkers before then. there is the door. it is very familiar. we have seen donald trump and melania trump step off that in an array of different places. this is in fact the 18th country that he has visited while theresa may was the first foreign leader to visit the white house after donald trump took office. the uk is the 18th which he has visited and initially, there was the offer ofa and initially, there was the offer of a state visit from theresa may. but in the end, it was turned into a working visit. there is the president, waving. entirely clear who will be welcoming the president, certainly we are not expecting the crowds of people to turn up for

defense, air defense doesn't get you the kind of air superiority you would get from a largecapable air force . what it does is it buys time. the other side to side when they fly they operate outside of your air defenses, the other side gets to decide volume and how often they're going to enter and essentially given numbers that russia faces, in terms of nato and the united states and especially united states air power, it will take us time but they are going to run out. >> they're going to run out before we run out. >>. >> morning everyone. are you okay? >> so i'm going to take this to the operational and strategic level" questions. i want to reiterate an important caveat that there is no single style aggression work there, are paper outlines key features against our adversaries, as stated in our doctrine and the first foster and what we know about their operational planning, it's inclusive of everything so we can talk about other topics . in question portion of today. it should be noted the military has been straightened a great deal of flexibility for different contingencies and we do not
