U.S. President Trump has underlined his desire to militarize space and introduce an American “space force.”

When speaking to a group of West Point cadets at the White House recently ,Trump said, “You will be part of the five proud branches of the United States Armed Forces—Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force and the Coast Guard,” upon completing their studies. “And we’re actually thinking of a sixth, and that would be the Space Force,” the president added.

Previously, Trump called space “a war-fighting domain, just like the land, air and sea,” while speaking to troops in California. “We may even have a Space Force,” he told the audience. The sci-fi concept gained traction with some members of Congress, but military leaders were more guarded on the prospect.

Alabama Republican Mike Rogers wrote on his personal website, “I am thrilled that the Space Corps idea is gaining traction at the White House.” Rogers, who is also the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said he had been working with colleague Jim Cooper—a Democrat from Texas—to push the need for a new service under the command of the Air Force that would focus on space.

“Russia and China are surpassing us in space capabilities and we need to dedicate a separate force solely with a space mission,” Rogers claimed. “The future of war will be fought in space, and we must stay diligent and ahead of other countries for our own national security.”
