Senators Endorse Space Force Reserve but Question Guard

From the Air Force Magazine website
The Senate Armed Services Committee endorsed the creation of a reserve component for the Space Force in new legislation but wants more evidence that a Space National Guard is necessary as well.
The committee this week approved its version of the fiscal 2021 defense policy bill 25-2, and the legislation could head to the Senate floor for a vote by the full chamber as early as next week.
When Congress approved the new Space Force in the fiscal 2020 National Defense Authorization Act, it stopped short of adding a Reserve and National Guard like those that accompany the Air Force. Reservists and Guardsmen already regularly handle space missions as part of the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve, and service leaders are pushing for those roles to continue.
