He said the service will make incremental changes as needed, moving forward. The Space Force has changed about nine hours of instruction in basic training for Space Force personnel.

'In the summer, we will have larger classes and we anticipate having full Space Force flights,' he said

The chief said that through the rest of the winter that six or seven Space Force personnel will be in training flights. There were seven and they were interspersed in a Basic Training Flight at Lackland Air Force Base. John 'Jay' Raymond, visited San Antonio to meet the first Space Force basic training graduates in mid-December. For the time being, Space Force personnel will continue to train alongside their Air Force compatriots. Training for personnel in these specialty codes is typically done in what the Air Force calls technical schools. 'So, literally everything else has to be done either by Department of the Air Force civilians that are assigned to the Space Force, or airmen.'Įnlisted personnel in some Air Force specialty codes in operations, intelligence and cyber are being transferred to the new service. 'The uniformed force will be very precisely focused on operations, intelligence and cyber,' Towberman said. The Space Force will also examine the missions to see what jobs can be done by DOD civilians. Medical, personnel, security and administration - and more - will all come from the Air Force. Space Force is a separate service under the Department of the Air Force and - like the Marine Corps to the Navy - will look to the Air Force for support. Space Force aims to eliminate layers of command where possible, and emphasize being agile and quick, the chief said.

Towberman sees small teams being the core of the service's future. The Space Force wants to be small to be agile and flexible. The entire Space Force will be about the same size as a Marine Corps division. So, the mission and the environment can bind together the service, building a unique culture for the 20,000 guardians. 'Maybe we can all get very excited about a very specific and special role that we have to play, and have this culture bind us around space and space operations. 'I think, maybe, we can have the best of both worlds,' he said. The Space Force faces the same challenges, but Towberman believes leaders can use the missions to bind personnel together. A challenge the Air Force has had is to develop this larger more inclusive culture, Towberman said.

It is not like the Army or Marine Corps where every soldier or Marine is a rifleman. That kind of specialization doesn't lend itself to overarching enculturation. Different systems require different technicians. Different aircraft require different maintainers.
