Senator Kevin Cramer on the Space Force Hearing

U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer issued the following statement regarding the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) hearing on developing a United States Space Force:

“As we heard today, space is no longer a sanctuary. It is a contested domain, and eventually a Space Force will have to exist. Whether we choose to act now or once we have lost ground, the United States must build a Space Force if we are to maintain American dominance in space. While many of my colleagues rightly expressed their concerns over the fine details of the proposal, I urge them to be aspirational and to understand this immediate need. I stand with our nation’s military leadership and look forward to working with my colleagues and the administration to get this done.”

During the hearing, Senator Cramer spoke with military leaders about the need for immediate action and discussed the rollout strategy of a potential Space Force.
