     Honoring the 5th anniversary of the United States Space Force.

Whereas the United States Space Force (USSF), the Nation's newest military 
        branch, was officially established on December 20, 2019, by the 
        enactment of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 
        (Public Law 116-92);
Whereas the United States Space Force plays a critical role in maintaining and 
        advancing the United States military readiness, superiority, and 
        technological dominance in space;
Whereas space has emerged as a warfighting domain essential to national 
        security, including safeguarding military communications, missile 
        warning systems, global navigation, and intelligence operations;
Whereas the mission of the United States Space Force is to organize, train, and 
        equip space professionals to ensure freedom of operation in, from, and 
        to space, and to deter and defeat threats across the space domain;
Whereas the importance of the United States Space Force is growing in an era of 
        geopolitical competition with adversaries who have developed 
        capabilities to challenge United States and allied access to space;
Whereas the guardians of the United States Space Force are committed to 
        defending national interests, enabling joint force operations, and 
        protecting critical infrastructure in the increasingly contested space 
        domain; and
Whereas the 5th anniversary of the United States Space Force is an occasion to 
        honor the contributions of its personnel and recognize the installations 
        that support its vital mission, including--

    (1) Clear Space Force Station--Anderson, Alaska;

    (2) Vandenberg Space Force Base--Lompoc, California;

    (3) Los Angeles Space Force Base--El Segundo, California;

    (4) Buckley Space Force Base--Aurora, Colorado;

therefore, be it

    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the fifth anniversary of the United States 
        Space Force;
            (2) commends the dedication, professionalism, and service 
        of the men and women of the United States Space Force, known as 
        Guardians, for their contributions to national security;
            (3) acknowledges the critical role that the United States 
        Space Force plays in protecting and maintaining the safety and 
        security of the American people, allied forces, and global 
        space infrastructure;
            (4) expresses a sense of Congress that space is a critical 
        domain, and urges the United States Space Force to continue 
        developing capabilities necessary to deter aggression and 
        ensure the freedom of operations in space; and
            (5) honors the installations and facilities of the United 
        States Space Force and the communities that support them for 
        their role in advancing the mission of space superiority.
