The Rumsfeld Commission noted the strong risk of a "Space Pearl Harbor," harking back to Imperial Japan's surprise attack on the U.S. Pacific Fleet in 1941. It was extremely critical of the Air Force's treatment of space, with few witnesses expressing confidence that the Air Force would address the requirement to provide space capabilities to the other services or move beyond treating space as just a support capability for air operations. The most significant recommendation of the Rumsfeld Commission was the creation of a Space Corps within the Department of the Air Force in the mid-term, which would evolve into a <a href="/wiki/Department_of_the_Space_Force" class="mw-redirect" title="Department of the Space Force">Department of the Space Force</a> in the long-term.

The horizontal stripes for Specialist 2, 3, and 4 were inspired by an early proposal for <a href="/wiki/United_States_Air_Force_enlisted_rank_insignia" title="United States Air Force enlisted rank insignia">Air Force enlisted ranks</a> known as "Vandenberg stripes". The delta represents the Space Force. The specialist stripes represent <i><a href="/wiki/Solid_earth" title="Solid earth">terra firma</a></i>, the solid foundation of skills upon which the Space Force is built. Noncommissioned officer insignia feature traditional chevrons and the "Delta, Globe, and Orbit," representing the totality of the Space Force. Finally, senior noncommissioned officer insignia are topped with "orbital chevrons", representing <a href="/wiki/Low_Earth_orbit" title="Low Earth orbit">low Earth orbit</a> for master sergeants, <a href="/wiki/Medium_Earth_orbit" title="Medium Earth orbit">medium Earth orbit</a> for senior master sergeants, and <a href="/wiki/Geosynchronous_orbit" title="Geosynchronous orbit">geosynchronous orbit</a> for chief master sergeants. These orbital chevrons signify the higher levels of responsibility and willingness to explore and innovate placed upon senior noncommissioned officers. Finally, the <a href="/wiki/Chief_Master_Sergeant_of_the_Space_Force" title="Chief Master Sergeant of the Space Force">Chief Master Sergeant of the Space Force</a> is represented by a "Delta, Globe, and Orbit" in a hexagonal wreath.<sup id="cite_ref-152" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-152"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>152<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 235px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 230px; height: 165px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Space_Force_enlists_first_trainees_to_bootcamp_(2).jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="Vice Chief of Space Operations General David D.

Arachne will specifically demonstrate and mature technologies related to more efficient energy generation, radio frequency forming, and radio frequency beam beaming. Current forward operation bases rely on significant logistics convoys to transport fuel for power – space-based solar power would move these supply lines to space, where they are unable to be easily attacked. Much how GPS started as a military program and was opened to civilian use, Space Force provided space-based solar power could transition to common use as well.<sup id="cite_ref-186" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-186"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>186<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Other space-based power beaming demonstrators include the Space Power InfraRed Regulation and Analysis of Lifetime (SPIRRAL) and Space Power INcremental DepLoyable Experiment (SPINDLE) experiments.<sup id="cite_ref-187" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-187"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>187<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Starship_SN9_Evening_Rays.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Starship_SN9_Evening_Rays.jpg/220px-Starship_SN9_Evening_Rays.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Starship_SN9_Evening_Rays.jpg/330px-Starship_SN9_Evening_Rays.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Starship_SN9_Evening_Rays.jpg/440px-Starship_SN9_Evening_Rays.jpg 2x" data-file-width="5361" data-file-height="3574" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/SpaceX_Starship" title="SpaceX Starship">SpaceX's Starship</a>, a contender for the <a href="/wiki/Rocket_Cargo" title="Rocket Cargo">Rocket Cargo</a> program</figcaption></figure> <p>The Navigation Technology Satellite-3 (NTS-3), building on the Space Force's <a href="/wiki/Global_Positioning_System" title="Global Positioning System">Global Positioning System</a> constellation, is an Air Force Research Laboratory spacecraft that will operate in geosynchronous orbit to test advanced techniques and technologies to detect and mitigate interference to positioning, navigation, and timing capabilities and increase system resiliency for military, civil, and commercial users.
