The Space Force plans to employ 15,000 troops and civilians by the end of the year.
U.S. European Command said the Patriots would “proactively” counter “any potential threat” to U.S. and NATO forces.
The 13 fallen troops ranged in age from 20 to 31, and came from California and Massachusetts and states in between.
The Space Force is preparing to choose another 350 or so members from that applicant pool in the next month.
