Amends 10 U.S.C. 10101 by inserting text in the matter preceding paragraph (1) (inserting before the colon) and by adding at the end a new paragraph (8) stating 'The Space National Guard of the United States.'
Amends 32 U.S.C. 101: updates paragraph (1) to insert 'the Air National Guard of the United States, and the Space National Guard' in place of prior text; updates paragraph (3) to add the Space National Guard alongside the Air National Guard; redesignates paragraphs (8) through (19) as paragraphs (10) through (21); inserts new paragraphs (8) and (9) after paragraph (7) defining 'Space National Guard' and 'Space National Guard of the United States'; and updates the redesignated paragraph (21) to include the Space National Guard of the United States.
Adds new sections to chapter 1003 of title 10: 10115 (Space National Guard of the United States: composition), 10116 (Space National Guard: when a component of the Space Force), and 10117 (Space National Guard of the United States: status when not in Federal service); and adds corresponding items to the chapter table of sections.
Creates a Space National Guard as the reserve component of the Space Force by moving existing National Guard space units and staff—limited to those already identified—into a new structure spread across seven named States. It sets the leadership role, rank, and reporting line for the director, and keeps each unit under the same State National Guard leadership it had before enactment.
The measure requires using the same facilities and infrastructure the Air National Guard used for space operations and bars new or modified construction to accommodate the change. The Air Force, Space Force, and National Guard Bureau must implement the transition and brief congressional defense committees soon after enactment and then annually for five years on missions, personnel, and budgets. Federal law (Titles 10 and 32) is updated to define the Space National Guard and how it operates when not on federal active duty.
