"The dangers to our country constantly evolve, and so must we," the President said. "Now, those who wish to harm the United States, who seek to challenge us in the ultimate high ground of space—it's going to be a whole different ballgame."

The United States is reliant on space for everything from the vital military systems that protect us to widely used consumer systems that fuel our economy. While America has the strongest military in the world, failure to act now could allow our adversaries to overcome that competitive advantage and deny us access to the space domain.

Last week, at the sixth meeting of the National Space Council, Vice President Mike Pence spoke at length about America's next great mission to lead the world once again in human space exploration. "As we lead in American innovation and entrepreneurship in space, we also must lead in security," the Vice President said.

To that end, President Trump installed four-star General John "Jay" Raymond today as the first leader of the revived US Space Command. The newest of 11 unified commands within the Department of Defense, USSPACECOM will employ assigned forces from every branch of the military to achieve vital victories in space.

There's no better person to lead this charge than Gen. Raymond. As the current commander of the Air Force Space Command, Gen. Raymond leads an incredible team of about 26,000 space professionals worldwide. His deep experience in the field includes serving in the United States Air Force for more than 34 years, and in June, the Senate unanimously confirmed him as our first Commander of the US Space Command.
