Applies to: This guidance applies to all uniformed members of the United States Space Force (USSF) and Department of the Air Force (DAF) civilian employees assigned to USSF organizations.
Uniformed members of the United States Air Force are excluded, except for those members assigned or attached to USSF organizations.
Utilization tours will normally be limited to 24 months to allow access across the Service to this opportunity.
The program aspires to include all Guardians (Enlisted, Officers, and Civilians) but is currently exclusive to Officers.
The RSA program creates a cadre of Guardian leaders deliberately developed to enhance USSF capabilities and evolve and expand partnerships to strengthen relationships, secure common interests, and promote shared values in space.
The Space Force has established the Special Experience Identifier (SEI) of the Regional Space Advisor to identify Guardians suited to this important task.
