A bill to amend title 10, United States Code, to improve the organization and management of the Department of Defense with respect to space programs and activities, and for other purposes.

This bill proposes a significant reorganization of how the United States military manages its space-related operations and intelligence. It would create a new high-level leadership position, the Under Secretary of Defense for Space, Intelligence, and Information, to oversee all Department of Defense space programs and ensure they are managed with a unified strategy. Additionally, the bill designates the Air Force as the primary agency for space acquisitions and requires the creation of a specialized career path for Air Force personnel focused specifically on space doctrine and systems.

For the average citizen, these changes are designed to improve the efficiency and accountability of taxpayer spending on national security technology. By streamlining the leadership structure, the bill aims to better protect vital satellite infrastructure—such as GPS and communications systems—that the public relies on for daily life and economic stability. While the bill was introduced in 2001 and did not become law in this specific form, its core concepts laid the groundwork for the eventual evolution of military space management and the later establishment of the U.S. Space Force.
