President Trump is expected to issue an order in the coming days establishing a Space Command to focus on space as a war-fighting domain, CNN reported Monday.

The news outlet cited three U.S. officials, and reported that Trump's announcement will likely coincide with Vice President Pence visiting the Pentagon and the Kennedy Space Center in Florida this week. Pence is the chairman of the National Space Council.
========================================
It will be interesting to see how this new Command develops alongside current & planned space-oriented systems & hardware.

Has there been any more information on whether it will be its own military department or if it will fall under the Department of the Air Force the way the Marines fall under the Department of the Navy?
