(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) Section 9081 of title 10, United States Code, 
establishes the United States Space Force as an 
Armed Force within the Department of the Air Force 
to, as stated in subsection (c) of such section—

United States in, from, and to space; 
(B) conduct space operations; and 
(C) protect the interests of the United States 
in space.

(2) The National Air and Space Intelligence 
Center, headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force 
Base, Ohio, is the primary source for foreign air and 
space threat analysis within the intelligence enter-
prise of the Air Force. 
(3) Section 8041 of the Department of Defense 
Appropriations Act, 2020 (division A of Public Law 
116–93; 133 Stat. 2345) prohibits the establishment of 
a new field operating agency using funds made avail-
able under that Act, although the Secretary of Defense 
or the Secretary of a military department may waive 
the prohibition in cases where the relevant Secretary 
determines that the establishment will reduce the per-
sonnel or financial requirements of the relevant de-
partment. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress 
that— 
(1) space has become increasingly contested, con-
gested, and competitive, mandating an expanded need 
for space intelligence; 
(2) to support this increasingly complex oper-
ational environment, the Space Force should have its 
own intelligence organization dedicated to providing 
the Joint Combat forces with the required intelligence 
and analysis to support operations;

(3) a prominent factor in the basing decision 
should consider that co-locating the National Space 
Intelligence Center with the National Air and Space 
Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force 
Base will provide an operational and geographic syn-
ergy, which will greatly benefit combat operations 
across the air and space operational environments; 
(4) the Air Force has requested authority to es-
tablish the National Space Intelligence Center as a 
field operating agency to ensure the appropriate 
prioritization of analytic effort for the space domain, 
enhance responsiveness to national-level customers, 
and align command relationships with the Director of 
Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance of the 
Space Force; and 
(5) establishing the National Space Intelligence 
Center as a field operating agency would be a re-
source-neutral administrative realignment of billets, 
and would facilitate a lean and agile space intel-
ligence enterprise. 
(c) EXCEPTION.—Notwithstanding section 8041 of the 
Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2020 (division 
A of Public Law 116–93; 133 Stat. 2345), or any other 
provision of law prohibiting the establishment of a field op-
