Costs of Creating a Space National Guard

The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 established the Space Force as a new, independent military service within the Department of the Air Force. The Space Force currently is authorized to operate only with regular (active component) personnel. This has led to various proposals to establish a Space National Guard to supplement the active component forces.

CBO examines two options for establishing a reserve component that would support the Space Force—a smaller version of a prospective Space National Guard and a larger one. For each, CBO estimated the additional costs beyond those incurred for existing units in the Air National Guard and Army National Guard that have space-related missions.
