Episode Summary:
In this episode, Doug Birkey chats with Gen. Kevin Chilton, USAF (Ret.); Lt. Gen. David Deptula, USAF (Ret.); Jennifer "Boots" Reeves; and Charles Galbreath about key considerations President Trump’s defense team, especially the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of the Air Force, should be thinking about when it comes to spacepower.
We all know that President Trump created the Space Force in his first term. It’s been just over five years since that key decision. A lot has happened since then. The next few years are going to be especially impactful when it comes to spacepower. To put it bluntly, every facet of America’s national security requires space. We need to recognize the challenges and opportunities facing Guardians and work to strengthen the hand we’re empowering them to play. Services are not built overnight. We’re playing the long game, but every step matters.
