The STARS mission aims to prepare future guardians and airmen of which entities?

• A. Air University cadet programs
• B. Navy Reserve Space Centers
• C. Missile Defense Institute
• D. Detachment 875 and the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets

Answer: (B)

STARS is about developing the next generation of space-domain professionals who will serve as guardians in the Space Force and as airmen in the Air Force within real-world organizations. Navy Reserve Space Centers are the setting that best matches this aim because they focus on space-related operations and training for reserve personnel, providing a joint environment where future Space Force guardians and Air Force airmen can develop together. The other options point to organizations that aren’t the intended training partners for STARS’ space–air readiness mission, such as a university program, a missile defense institute, or a specific ROTC detachment.
