Star Brigade is one step closer to reality with the new USSF, as authorized by a bipartisan budget agreement for 2020.
No longer just an idea, the United States Armed Forces can now establish its sixth branch, the United States Space Force (USSF). We haven’t seen a new military branch since 1947, when the U.S. Air Force was created from the U.S. Army. Much like how the USMC is under the Department of the Navy, the USSF Chief of Space Operations will report to the Secretary of the Air Force. The U.S. Air Force’s Space Command will be renamed, and some 151 Air Force personnel, 24 Army, 14 Navy, and nine additional personnel from the Pentagon and the U.S. intelligence community will comprise this new service branch in 2020, but will build towards a strength of 15,000 in the coming years. The USSF will be organized, trained, and equipped to provide freedom of operation for the United States in, from, and to space, and provide prompt and sustained space operations. Their mission: to protect the interests of the United States in space, deter aggression in, from, and to space, and conduct space operations. This also means that several G.I. Joe’s will have their service branch changed effective 2020, but may remain on the G.I. Joe team. Some assets will likewise be transferred such as the Defiant Space Vehicle Launch Complex, the Crusader shuttle, the Armor-Bot, Starfighter space jet, and the Power Fighter battle suits. Maybe Hasbro will create a USSF G.I. Joe character in 2020 to reflect this new branch of service, or borrow from an existing character. I wouldn't mind seeing Countdown, or a similar character released.

A future congress might strip the funding in FY2021, or a future president might veto the bill, but FY2020 is happening now with bipartisan support.

DARPA has taken an interest in the Raytheon Sarcos XOS-2 robotics suit being developed for the US Army, with NASA and the Department of Homeland Security in partnership, so those Armor Tech suits might become a reality one day.
