I hear you all 5X5.

Still pulling data... based on what I have read, and concur with in patelpatriot's devolution series, I am working on the hypothesis that Space Force's sole mission since it was stood up (and probably well before it was officially stood up 21 December 2019) was monitoring for and interception of the packet captures.

Think General Patton and the Ghost Army.

The German High Command had more respect for Patton than for any other Allied commander and considered him to be central to any plan to invade Europe from England.[145] Because of this, Patton was made a prominent figure in the deception operation, Fortitude, during the first half of 1944.[146] Through the British network of double-agents, the Allies fed German intelligence a steady stream of false reports about troops sightings and that Patton had been named commander of the First United States Army Group (FUSAG), all designed to convince the Germans that Patton was preparing this massive command for an invasion at Pas de Calais. FUSAG was in reality an intricately constructed fictitious army of decoys, props, and fake radio signal traffic based around Dover to mislead German reconnaissance planes and to make Axis leaders believe that a large force was massing there. This helped to mask the real location of the invasion in Normandy. Patton was ordered to keep a low profile to deceive the Germans into thinking that he was in Dover throughout early 1944, when he was actually training the Third Army.[145] As a result of Operation Fortitude, the German 15th Army remained at the Pas de Calais to defend against Patton's supposed attack.[147] So strong was their conviction that this was the main landing area that the German army held its position there even after the invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944, believing it to be a diversionary force. Patton flew to France a month later, and then returned to combat command

Inspiration for the unit came from the British units who had honed the deception technique for the battle of El Alamein in late 1942, as Operation Bertram. The unit had its barracks at Camp Forrest, Tennessee, and was fully formed at Camp Pine, New York (now Fort Drum), before sailing for the United Kingdom in early May 1944.

Fort Drum? Fort Drum? Why does that ring a bell?

Oh, yeah... now I remember. "Climb To Glory"

My own hair ball theory is that in its "unofficial" days, Space Force was operational... and one of its more public and infamous operations was the capture of Shia Labeouf's HWNDU flag. I was up and monitoring 4chan and /pol/ that night... kept saying to myself... no way these guys aren't professionals getting to have a little fun... no way.

Check my comment history... 99% no LARP zone (but that 1%.... forgive me Father, for I have sinned).
