US Planning To Make A Space Corps

>The House Armed Services Committee has voted to create a US "Space Corps", which would become a new branch of the armed forces and incorporate the current space missions of the US Air Force.

>If the US Space Corps goes ahead, it would be the first new military service in the country since 1947.

This doesn't make any sense the army has way more experience with space than the airforce. I really doubt this is a air force division rather than just a way to try to get more funding for the air force so they can finally get rid of their a10's

>>34420659
>This doesn't make any sense the army has way more experience with space than the airforce.

The Air Force currently controls all Space based activities for the Military, you derp.

>>34420659
>This doesn't make any sense the army has way more experience with space than the airforce

Um..no..no they don't. The vast majority of current and former NASA astronauts have all been primarily Air Force or Navy.

>>34420481

But why?

It's not like we got offworld colonies to defend or fight against. Any "space" combat we could expect in the foreseeable future would be satellite fights in orbit. I think the Air Force has that covered.

>>34420635

The largest component of USCYBERCOMMAND is pretty easily the Army. It's isn't a new branch of the armed forces though, it's a major subordinate command under USSTRATCOM, making it the same echelon as the current Space command (also falls under STRATCOM).


CYBERCOM is set to be elevated to the same echelon as STRATCOM within the next year or two. It will remain a joint organization, though, not its own separate branch.

>>34420681

That's not true and hasn't ever been true. Every branch has a portion of the space mission assigned to them. The Air Force has a large portion, but there's certain space roles they do not touch that the Navy and Army take care of.

>That's not true and hasn't ever been true. Every branch has a portion of the space mission assigned to them. The Air Force has a large portion, but there's certain space roles they do not touch that the Navy and Army take care of.

What involvement does the Army have besides ballistic missile defense?

Now Poland can definitely not into space marines.

>>34420481
Sorry to burst your bubble, but as you're not likely to be doing much in the space corps, you may end up a human experimentation victim while you're doing fuck-all in a uniform.

Don't believe the American government's lies, anon.

I wonder how they will structure their officer training program.

>But why?
Mostly because of China. They are becoming a major threat to our space security and since we are extremely reliant on access to space, some see it as only natural that we have some sort of capability to defend or even control space during a future conflict. Russia is also seen as threat but not as much as compared to China. To some, it's expected that if we are to fight a war for space then we should have an actual space force. I'm not entirely sold on the idea, but whatever.

Raping Xenos comes with risk of producing half breeds, which are of course heretical. For eldars, especially, a gangrape comes with higher chance of impregenation given their biology which requires multiple donations of genetic material from the male.

I'm pumped tho, imagine bad bois decked out in stuff like that with whatever small arms they get. What would they be? I figure there'd be a return to large-caliber cartridges considering plans would only realistically account for Earth, Space, and Mars so you don't need extreme velocities or aerodynamics but you do need inertia to get through space suits.

In fact, I think this may happen naturally. By necessity two things will happen: manufacturing will happen in space and colonies will be built for self-sufficiency.
Space stations will almost certainly use nuclear power and when industrial cities are being built in the void; shipyards, ore processing, refuel and resupply stations, et cetera; there will be nuclear processing facilities among them. If nukes are necessary for void war, I have no doubt the nukes will be built in space.
Meanwhile, colonies will be organized in such a way that they must be capable of being isolated for decades and eventually indefinitely. The military forces of these colonies will be organized as defense forces and trekkers, not conquerors or geopolitical powers. Nukes will not be useful to them compared to artillery and missile shields and for those first few centuries whatever isn't useful isn't present. The result to all this may be a status quo where nukes become inconceivable to use against other terrestrials and are only thought of as space weapons.

lmao

I know you thought this through, but you didn't think it through hard enough. Nukes are heavy, nukes are also complicated, (like really complicated) and they're also expensive and will still be expensive if common warheads.

You can do just as much damaged with a shaped charge and a reservoir of water to a literal tin can full of expensive stuff and pressurized containers, and you can do it for pennies on the dollar.

War is not about having the biggest thing, it's about having enough of the things and being able to afford millions more things to out-do the other guy's things while he wrecks your things and you do the same to his things.

Nukes are a stupid weapon to use in space unless you can put one inside a ship, and even then, firing an oxygen bottle into a fuel tank and detonating it would be equally devastating.

Your article doesn't help your case. All it says is that nukes aren't apocalyptic. It doesn't say when the radiation drops to .5 Roentgens/hour, which is the only time rebuilding could actually begin and only if workers are bused from a far distance into the site. The land would only be truly safe when it drops to .25R/h which is also not stated. All this is thrown out the window if wind is a serious factor. If that article convinced you nukes are basically just another bomb, you didn't read it well or are buying into the idea that everyone will have a fallout shelter, an idea the author relies upon pretty heavily for his ideas to be correct.

that's where you're wrong, kiddo

Supposedly, there's an operational asset based on this concept that's been kicking around since the late 80's or 90's that can carry about as many operators as a Hind (stuffed into even less space) to wherever they're needed,

Logistically, it makes a ton of sense, since a C-5 can fly it damn near anywhere without attracting any undue attention before air-launching it, and I'd imagine that the loading/airlaunching procedure can be done with only the loadmaster/ payload specialists, who probably accompany it, needing to know what's actually going on, keeping even the flight crew in the black.
