原文:

The U.S. Space Force has selected the first active-duty airmen to transfer into the new service.

It announced on July 16 that it has chosen 2410 members within the space operations (13S)and space systems operations (1C6) career fields, who will start transferring Sept. 1.

This is an exciting and historic time for these space operators, who will be some of the first members to join the Space Force, said Lt. Gen. David DT Thompson, Space Force vice commander. Each one of them has an important responsibility to contribute bold ideas to shape the Space Force into a 21st century service.

The 13S and 1C6 career fields are considered organic space specialties. Those chosen will soon receive messages via the MyPers website on the next steps for their commission or enlistment into the Space Force.
