Space, known as the final frontier, is something the Defense Department would like to explore, Deputy Defense Secretary Patrick M. Shanahan said.
By early next year, Shanahan said he hopes to nominate a suitable candidate to lead such a force.
Other DOD priorities, in addition to space, include cyber and hypersonics. These are “super priorities,” Shanahan said.
Shanahan also discussed the results of the first Defense Department-wide audit.

It was a big accomplishment to have the audit, as DOD is a $2.7-trillion organization, he said.
The thing to do now is to address the findings with corrective actions to get into compliance in time for next year’s audit, he said.
