Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall maintained his support for a proposal that would take some National Guard units and reassign them to the Space Force despite widespread opposition from the governors who have authority over those service members.
The secretary refused to withdraw his support for the controversial proposal during a discussion with governors on Wednesday, according to Gov. Spencer Cox (R-UT), who serves as the chairman of the National Governors Association.
