The flag of the United States Space Force is the flag used to represent the U.S. Space Force and its subsidiary units and formations. It was officially unveiled on May 15, 2020.

Design

The Space Force flag is a black field, with the official flag fringed in platinum. The flag is derived from the central and supporting elements of the Space Force seal, including the delta wing, globe, elliptical orbit, Polaris star, and star clusters. Beneath the central imagery "UNITED STATES SPACE FORCE" and the year 2019 in Roman numerals in white lettering, indicating the name and birth year of the service.[1]

History

The flag was unveiled on May 15, 2020 in an Oval Office ceremony by the Chief of Space Operations General John W. Raymond and the Chief Master Sergeant of the Space Force Roger A. Towberman.[2][3]

Streamers

Verified combat credit entitles an organization to the appropriate campaign streamers representing the named campaign in which it participated. The campaign streamer will be embroidered with the name and years of the campaign. Non-combat service is represented by an organizational service streamer, which is not embroidered.[4][5]
