Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has voiced opposition to a move to pull units from the National Guard for inclusion in the U.S. Space Force.
The Air Force last month sent a legislative proposal to Congress that would relieve the service from obtaining governors’ consent before altering National Guard units, transferring 14 units with space missions within the Air National Guard into the Space Force.
DeWine wrote to President Joe Biden opposing the move.
“As commander in chief of the Ohio National Guard, I retain the responsibility for these military organizations and their missions,” DeWine wrote in a statement released Friday afternoon. “Usurping this power would be unprecedented, and I respectfully ask that you do not do so.
“Every Ohio National Guard member takes an oath not only to the United States of America, but to Ohio as well,” the governor added. “I honor their dual commitment by ensuring that all Ohio National Guard members can serve in the communities where they live, work, and raise their families. When called, they stand ready to deploy — anytime, anywhere.”
