SE4 and the Navy

[greghacke]

Defense contractor... what a job. Can't complain, the company I work for is the 8th largest defense contractor in the US.

SPAWAR is space, not special. All SpecOps are run out of the SpecWar centers in MacDill, Langley and Bragg.

Oh the humor.

I do believe that there would have to be an entirely new branch of the armed services for space warfare. No earth based branch has any experince flying spaceships, not the Navy, Airforce, Army, or Marines. I think the new branch would be highly based on NASA requirements, except civilians would obviously not be allowed into some space warfare branch.
Thus, only the best and brightest with previous experience in flight and the military would be allowed into the new branch. Sure it probably would be called the Space Navy or something, with a Space Marines inside the organization, but they would not be simply Navy and Marine troops sent up to space.

In the Usa
The Space and Missile systems group and the Air Force Space command
are in charge of tracking anything that is in orbit over the USA. Even nasa has to inform them before a launch can take place. So They most likeing would head up the command for any space attacks.

Let alone the fact, U US guys, we Europeans are very proud to have our own SEALS to defend our FREEDOM. So, may I suggest you consider a combined Space Navy, our whatever you like to call it? Let's hope we finally get to the stage at least ON EARTH we leave our Nationalistic feelings behind us, and combine our intellect to establish the foundations to go into space and HAVE AT LEAST A CHANGE not to be annihalited by the FIRST CONTACT we will make anyway in the next couple of years?

INDEPENDANCE DAY, FOREVER!

this is the official saying of the Space command

"Defend the United States through control and exploitation of air and space."
The Space command has control over any missile once it is launched. No matter if the navy or army owns it.
