Gen. David A. Deptula (ret.) writes, "The Space Force is a 21st century test of the concept that a cadre of professionals will forge a new kind of military organization, a startup culture in the midst of established organizations, borrowing the best of what came before them and leveraging history to avoid past pitfalls. Thus, it was when Gen. Hap Arnold formed the Air Force from the vestiges of the post-World War II Army Air Forces; so it is today, as Chief of Space Operations Gen. John 'Jay' Raymond builds out the doctrine, mission, culture and ethos of a nascent Space Force. Inevitably, outsiders seek to influence the outcome."
