Trump proposes Space National Guard at National Guard Association event, seeking it as primary combat reserve for US Space Force.
Former President Trump proposed a Space National Guard during the 146th General Conference & Exhibition of the National Guard Association of the U.S., intending it to serve as the primary combat reserve of the U.S. Space Force. The concept has garnered both support and opposition, with some arguing it could be cost-effective, retain talent, and allow guard members to continue space missions while staying in their home states, while others express concerns over resource allocation and unintended consequences. Trump's proposal comes as Congress considers a Defense Department request to move existing space-related units of the Air National Guard into the U.S. Space Force.
