Has there been any major announcement on the new US military division Space Force?

Uniforms
Organisation Structure
Equipment – are they getting a fleet of next generation shuttles?
Permanent HQ in space ?

And – if there is any uniform/equipment news: is anyone already making figures that are suitable for the USSF (United States Space Force) ? Or anyone with plans to do so in the near future?

Thanks!

No funding = no progress

Man I hope they have Huge robots that are controlled by a master Computer inside a mountain "the computer in the mountain not the robots". And Nukes in Orbit in space station run by a computer with no Human crew. Thats good planning

Will they set up a regular run out to Mars to check for potential invaders?


Or Selenites! Those sneaky giant ants!

I actually like the idea of filling the mountain with giant robots and having the computer elsewhere….

….although that'd be more like the USHGRF (United States Hidden Giant Robot Force).

Or….build OGREs. With an AI. And call them Bolos. Then shoot them with the space lasers when they go rogue.

'The provision of red shirted uniforms has seriously curtailed recruiting….'

At the current date, I can release some unclassified information:

Uniforms:
While the official uniform is still classified, they have been inspired by these:

Organizational Structure:
All I can say is that I'm at the top and it's a very short list from there.

Equipment:
All of the space capable equipment is currently in miniature, proof-of-concept form. The Earth bound equipment is mostly an iPad and an XP computer using dial-up.

HQ:
Plans are to have a permanent moon-base, but for now, it's in a basement under my mom's house… I mean, in a bunker under a mountain, yeah, that's right.

1000 chapters initially.

Thanks for info Stryderg – good to get some real background on the USSF !

Does the use of dial-up suggest that there will be a landline to space?

Will the Space Force have to pledge undying allegiance to The Emperor?

Will they have to battle the Chaos Space Force?

Apparently the Pentagon is still trying to say "Space Force" without breaking into laughter.

This is impeding progress on anything else.

cosmicbank06 Aug 2018 5:57 p.m. PST

so what you guys are saying is maybe no Space Force soon.

and the red shirts is priceless

Senior Army and Navy leaders once laughed at Billy Mitchell for his ideas about creating an Air Force. Mitchell is now revered as the father of the USAF.

A USSF will get serious traction when the leadership within Air Force Space Command start pushing for it.

From what my friend in the Army is saying, still epic fustercluck at the political levels trying to get more details out.
