Space National Guard Establishment Act of 2025
HR 2042 establishes the Space National Guard as a reserve component of the Space Force, specifically for seven states (Alaska, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, New York, and Ohio). It transfers existing Air National Guard space units - like the 213th Space Warning Squadron in Alaska and the 137th Space Warning Squadron in Colorado - to this new structure, while prohibiting additional personnel or new facilities. The bill requires the Secretary of the Air Force to implement the change within one year and provide annual reports to Congress on its status, missions, and funding. This reorganization officially recognizes these state-based units as part of the Space Force reserve without creating new military capabilities or infrastructure.
