Nearly 250 Air Force reservists have been selected to transfer to the Space Force this summer, becoming the service’s first part-time guardians.
The U.S. plans to roll out a system by December that automatically registers young men for the military draft, a policy signed into law by President Trump last year.
The new rule will register men automatically rather than require them to register themselves within 30 days of their 18th birthdays.
The new career field is expected to be in place by Oct. 1 and notifications of selection board results are expected in the summer.
