A monumental task, a bit different than when establishing the other branches.

Everyone knows the Infantry will always be needed to go finish the job.

That is some serious verbal gymnastics, obviously written by a "Policy Wonk" that they spoke of early in the article. While those kinds of people are sometimes necessary, their verbal gymnastics often create more policy issues than they help.
Space Force will be able to do much of what is in this article at some point, but many of the functions mentioned are already covered by various branches of the military already. Cyber is worked on by all branches, but space based is still under the Air Force. Ground stuff will take some money in reception gear that is deployable, so that's a lead time/mission reliant task. It can be done, but allowing contractor access to deployed military assets is a risk, so R&D within the military industrial complex will have to kick into overdrive to achieve success.
