Originally it was supposed to be a Moon base to collect information on Earth.

"Horizon never progressed past the feasibility stage, being rejected by President Dwight Eisenhower when primary responsibility for America's space program was transferred to the civilian agency NASA."

My guess is that the project was resurrected under Trump and put under the command of the newly minted Space Force.
