Should’ve been called the United States Space Command and be a department of the Air Force. USSC would’ve been an awesome acronym.

There already is a U.S. Space Command - USSPACECOM. It’s the combatant command responsible applying war fighting assets from all service components (army, navy, marines, Air Force, and space force) in defense of the space domain. Similar to the combatant command USEUCOM is responsible for European defense by applying war fighting assets from all of the services. Space Command is the combatant arm, space force is the component responsible for organizing, training, and equipping space forces.

Commands can not be branches because multiple branches can be a part of a singular command.

Such as Central Command, which has the Navy, Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps, which are all under one command.
