President Donald Trump's proposed sixth military service, the Space Force, will fall within the Department of the Air Force if approved by Congress, according to a directive he signed Feb. 19.

The officials indicated start-up costs for the Space Force would be about $100 million, far less than the Pentagon's initial estimate of $13 billion. Read more about the directive on Military.com.
