Rubio, Feinstein Introduce Bill to Create Space National Guard
Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) introduced the Space National Guard Establishment Act. The bill would create a Space National Guard that would place Air National Guard members, conducting U.S. Space Force missions, under the Space Force command structure. Congressmen Jason Crow (D-CO) and Doug Lamborn (R-CO) introduced companion legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives.

“Creating a Space National Guard would boost our military readiness and increase efficiency,” Rubio said. “It would also ensure that the Space Force retains needed talent. I look forward to working with my colleagues to pass this common-sense bill.”
“Without a National Guard component for Space Force, we risk losing many talented individuals who want to keep serving their country and their states after they leave active duty, and that is simply unacceptable,” Feinstein said. “Creating a Space Force National Guard would also save money and ensure a smoother process in the event we need to activate personnel. Not establishing a Space National Guard was a mistake when Space Force was created, and this bill will remedy that.”
Background:
The U.S. Department of the Air Force, Space Force and the National Guard Bureau have already developed a plan to establish a Space National Guard within existing budgeting and personnel constraints, but that plan has yet to be implemented.
