I asked Gen. Raymond about Rep. Mike Rogers’ plan to compel creation of a new Space Force, which would mark the birth of a fifth military service (вообще это будет уже шестой бренч и восьмой, что ли, сервис, но кто и когда считал Береговую Охрану за людей?.. - Д.О.). There are lots of rumors here that Acting Air Force Secretary Lisa Disbrow and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein rushed creation of what they’re calling the A-11, a three-star general who will oversee all space issues for the Air Force staff, to counter Rogers’ plan. (One rumor has them making the decision about the A-11 on the Thursday before the Space Symposium began.)

Raymond said he and his staff have been working very closely with Rogers.

“I applaud Congressman Rogers’ leadership in this area,” the general said. “He’s laid out a vision. We are working very closely with him and his team, and I’ll tell you, we are in vast alignment with the majority of the vision.”

In June 2016 he called for the United States withdrawal from the United Nations in the wake of the Brexit vote by the United Kingdom to withdraw from the European Union.[6]
