The U.S. Space Force has its first Space Cowboys

According to Lieutenant Jordan Savage, a participant in the march, they had to cover almost 60 kilometres with 27kg rucksacks with little sleep, a stark contrast to their daily service. And his fellow development engineer Lieutenant Jackson Jennings admitted that ‘they had no mandatory physical training’.

Indeed, the physical training of ‘space’ officers, compared to their colleagues from other branches of the military, to put it mildly, leaves much to be desired. Summing up the results of the march, the participants expressed hope that their fellow officers will be able to train together with other U.S. Army units in the future.
