Development of “space warfighters” is a priority, the head of the newly-minted Unites States Space Command said on Monday, as he expressed his hope that Congress can break the budget deadlock and green-light a fully-fledged Space Force.

Space Command had grown to around 400 staff members in the span of a year, General John Raymond told an audience at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, describing progress as “unprecedented.”
