Joe Dunford, the outgoing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, announced the date for the standup of the new organization, the first combatant command to be fully stood up since Africa Command was created in 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upon its standup, SPACECOM head Gen. Jay Raymond will inherit 87 units, covering \u201cmissile warning, satellite operations, space control and space support,&#8221; Dunford said. Raymond has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/space\/2019\/06\/04\/heres-what-the-first-few-years-of-us-space-command-might-look-like\/\" target=_blank>previously said<\/a> he expects to start with about 642 personnel pulled from U.S. Strategic Command. Army Lt. Gen. James Dickinson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/smd\/2019\/08\/06\/heres-who-will-be-the-us-space-command-deputy\/\" target=_blank>has been nominated<\/a> to become the deputy commander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raymond has acknowledged that the standup of the new organization won\u2019t be easy, telling members of Congress in written testimony from June that \u201cmy first priority will be to ensure the seamless transition of the command and control of critical space capabilities that the nation and the joint force depend on each and every day. Simultaneously we need to ensure we take steps to strengthen readiness and lethality as we complete our shift from a permissive environment to a posture for warfighting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The creation of the new combatant command is the first step towards the creation of a full-up Space Force, an idea that has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/space\/2019\/02\/19\/trump-signs-off-on-organizing-the-space-force-under-the-air-forcefor-now\/\" target=\"_blank\">heavily pushed <\/a>by President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis initiative is going to have a positive impact on our ability to grow the people and capabilities that we\u2019re going to need in the future,\u201d Dunford said of an eventual Space Force. \u201cI\u2019m confident the focus that a single service will bring to bear is going to have a profound difference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe direction is clear. We understand it. And we\u2019re moving out.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gen.
