Official DoD and Space Force communications describe United States Space Forces–Japan as a component under US Space Forces Indo-Pacific with the mission to plan, integrate, coordinate, and execute space operations in Japan in direct support of USFJ. The activation language states these efforts will best support U.S. partnership agreements with Japan and deepen integration with Japanese space counterparts to meet regional challenges and maintain a free and open Indo-Pacific. These aims are corroborated by multiple primary sources, including the 2024 activation announcement for USSPACEFOR-JPN, the 2024 Space Force coverage, and the 2025 first-year activation celebration, as well as a DVIDS summary. Verdict: True. Reason: All credible sources describe the activation and its intended functions as aligning with the claim.
