There is an old saying that goes roughly, "He who hold the high ground, wins the day." Space being the very highest ground, it is important that we own access and control to it. Kinetic energy weapons deployed from space would be an end of battle scenario for anyone whom they are deployed against.

CDR (Join to see) Sir, An increased focus on Space is vital for our national security. The more authority that this command has, the better that it will be able to accomplish their goals.

Sgt Hallock: I'm literally the guy handling requests for authorities for CDR JFCC SPACE for the space domain mission for CDRUSSTRATCOM, and we're good on that account

My guess is SECAF madevthe statement because 1) it's correct given the times, 2) pressure from the CCMD(s) to provide more, and 3) to head off Congressional pressure to establish a fifth Service - a US Space Force
