Opinion: The most important reason for the Space Force to use Navy rank is because Space Force officers must think like Navy officers if they are to succeed in great power competition of the 21st century
, released in June, states that the Space Force must aim to maintain space superiority, provide space support to national and joint operations and ensure space stability. Providing superiority and stability at sea is a classic Navy mission, and the strategies used to develop great navies can also be used in space.
Stating that “this vision requires a secure international environment conducive to U.S. commercial growth,” it maintained that the U.S. Space Force’s responsibilities included ensuring unfettered access to space and that its “activities such as space transportation and logistics, power, communication, navigation, and space domain awareness, are of dual-use value to all space sectors — civil, national security, and commercial.
Congress must take the lead and mandate Navy rank, a decision the Space Force may feel pressured to avoid, toof prosperity, security and human development worldwide. With Congress’ blessing, Space Force admirals will create a service that promotes whole-of-nation space development and considers space commerce protection as a mission co-equal to warfighting. The Senate and House jointly passing the Starfleet Amendment into law would declare boldly that Americans want the Space Force to be both strongwise enough to win the great power competition in space through strategic — yet peaceful — development that will both secure America and enrich the world.
