Guardians

Soldiers, sailors, Marines, airmen and Guardians. That's the line-up for personnel in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and America's newest armed service — the U.S. Space Force. Last month, Vice President Mike Pence announced that personnel in the Space Force will be called Guardians. "It is my honor, on behalf of the President of the United States, to announce that, henceforth, the men and women of the United States Space Force will be known as 'Guardians,'" Pence said during the ceremonies. There are approximately 4,000 Guardians in the U.S. Space Force — all from the Air Force.
