1 1984 the U.S. Army established a five‑person Staff Field Element to develop and monitor space‑related policy and education.
In 2019 the U.S. Space Force transferred many Army mission areas to guardians, and more than 600 soldiers have moved to the new 40D Tactical Space Operations Specialist billet after nearly 3,000 soldiers applied; the Space and Missile Defense Center is now five times larger than a year ago, with a goal of a couple thousand officer and enlisted billets.
The Space Operations Branch now provides the first permanent enlisted career path for space operators, who have a dual role of space integration and space interdiction.
