USA:s rymdstyrka eller Förenta staternas rymdstyrka (United States Space Force, förkortat USSF), är sedan 2019 den försvarsgren inom USA:s militär som är inriktad för operationer i rymden. USSF är en del av USA:s flygvapendepartement och politiskt ansvarig är USA:s flygvapenminister, som är utnämnd av USA:s president med senatens råd och samtycke samt underställd USA:s försvarsminister.[1][5]
I USSF ingår de förband och enheter som tidigare tillhörde flygvapnets Air Force Space Command. Global Positioning System (GPS) är ett av många system som drivs av USSF.
Förband från USSF finns bland annat vid Thule Air Base på Grönland, Cheyenne Mountain Complex och Peterson Air Force Base i Colorado, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station i Florida och Vandenberg Air Force Base i Kalifornien. Anläggningarna bevakas av United States Air Force Security Forces.

Space Staff Identification Badge.png
Description: A black epoxy pentagon charged with a light blue epoxy globe, grid-lined in silver, surrounded by a field of silver stars. Encompassing the pentagon, a wreath of laurel, surmounted by a polestar at the top, overall a delta encircled diagonally by an orbit ring; all silver. The badge is 2-1/8 inches (5.4 cm) in height for the regular badge and 1-19/32 inches (4.05 cm) in height for the miniature. Symbolism: The badge reflects the distinguishing elements used in the Space Force seal—delta, globe, and orbital path on a black celestial field. The laurel wreath embraces the characteristics of integrity, dedication, and honorable service while assigned to the headquarters staff. The pentagon shape highlights the Space Force as the fifth military service within the Department of Defense.

Flag of the United States Space Force: The U.S. Space Force is proud to present the official flag to the President of the United States, to our space professionals across the globe, and to the American public, thus establishing another piece of our culture. The official flag of the Space Force is derived from key and central elements of the Seal of the United States Space Force presented on a black field fringed in platinum with the words United States Space Force and Roman numerals MMXIX (2019) below the imagery. The heraldry of the seal elements follows: “Dark blue and white combine to represent the vast recesses of outer space. The Delta Wing evokes historic ties to the earliest days of the U.S. Air Force space community, and symbolizes change and innovation. It also represents all variations of space vehicles that support our National Defense Strategy and National Security Space Strategy. Dark and light shades of grey within the delta embody the 24/7 operations of the Space Force, while the placement and upward orientation of the delta reveals the central role of the Space Force in defending the space domain. The Globe represents the terrestrial home of the U.S. Space Force and it’s support to the joint warfighters. The Elliptical Orbit [around the globe] signifies defense and protection from all adversaries and threats emanating from the space domain. It also represents ongoing interagency cooperation and allied partnerships. The white Polaris symbolizes the guiding light of security and alludes to a constant presence and vigilance in space now and in the future. Two clusters of small stars represent the space assets developed, maintained, and operated by the U.S. Space Force. The three larger stars symbolize the Organize, Train, and Equip functions of the Space Force.”
