The U.S. Space Force is expected to receive a 14% cut to its workforce due to the Trump administration’s initiative to reduce the Defense Department’s civilian workers.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the decision on Feb. 20, citing an intention to eliminate anywhere from 5% to 8% of civilian employees throughout the Defense Department. At the time, Hegseth didn’t specify the number of cuts for each department.
