The U.S. Space Force became a member of the U.S. intelligence community on Friday, meaning that the intelligence element of the newest branch of the U.S. military is also the country’s 18th spy agency.
Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe and Chief of Space Operations Gen. John Raymond announced that the section of the Space Force specializing in intelligence would join the spy community during an afternoon ceremony.
“This accession reaffirms our commitment to securing outer space as a safe and free domain for America’s interests,” Ratcliffe said. “American power in space is stronger and more unified than ever before. Today we welcome Space Force to the Intelligence Community and look forward to the power and ingenuity of a space security team unrivaled by any nation.”
