The chief of staff of the Cosmic forces of the U.S. General John William "Jay" Raymond reports that the Agency intends to significantly increase the recruitment of young and talented programmers who can work with the code. Currently, the General said, already about 100 people that have gone through the training, in which they were prepared to the creation and development of it platforms, as Supra Coders designed to control combat aircraft. According to him, the Agency requires the mobilization of experts in the field of software.
— said Raymond.
In may of last year's Space force unveiled its "Vision of the digital service," in which it was determined how it will look digital service in four main areas. The priority is the improvement of knowledge of digital technology by employees of the military Department, the implementation of joint domain-wide solutions and digital engineering.
While in office are employed in the development of digital standards for the creation of a hardware-software complex, followed by its implementation in industrial samples of military equipment. To do this, programmers, including beginners, create computer models that are then passed to the production engineers.
Chief of staff of the Space force identified another problem, which is forced to fight the authority, excessive bureaucracy and slow decision making. It hinders innovation, makes it difficult to interact with other military structures of the US army. To fight against bureaucracy, the General is going to improve corporate culture, which soon will be a series of special "sessions on culture."
— ornate explained the plans for the development of military space agencies of the U.S. armed forces General.
Space forces of the armed forces was created at the initiative of President Donald trump in 2019 and became the youngest of the sixth, the native troops of the us army.

In task Space forces responsible for conducting military operations in outer space. Initially, the new structure was headed by John Raymond, in August 2020, he moved to the post of Chief of Staff, and his place was taken by General James Dickinson. Now the Space force includes 16 thousand people, with a total budget of 5 years is almost 13 billion dollars.
At that time, in support of the new military structure was supported by the NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine, the Minister of defence of the USA James Mattis, the Minister of Military-air force Heather Wilson and owner of SpaceX Elon Musk. Against the creation of the COP made the former Minister of the air force Deborah Lee James, who believes that it is not necessary to divide the air force, and the creation of the smallest available in the United States armed forces are unlikely to help protect satellites.

Judging by the content of the statements of the chief of staff of the COP and the plans for the development of new military structure, the Cosmic forces of the United States is still very far from real wins in earth orbit. While there exhausting struggle with the bureaucracy and the attempts learning on a three-month course of programmers that somehow staffed and try to be useful in the development of advanced weapons.
In this case, but all cases directly related to the space that used to said air force, the COP, the US will also take care of all operations of the army, the Navy, the missile defense Agency, the office of strategic opportunities, NASA, NOAA and even the U.S. Department of Commerce. If you manage to defeat the bureaucracy and to mobilize the necessary number of talented programmers.
