I created Office of the Chief of Space Operations due to an apparent need for the page according to {{ United States Space Force}}. However, I'm not sure exactly why the two pages need to be split. There's only a single secondary source discussing the Office of the Chief of Space Operations. I have no objections if anyone wants to implement a merge of the stub. – MJL ‐Talk‐ ☖ 01:47, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
This article was originally created (by User:Garuda28) using the day-month-year (DMY) date format, for which he added a {{ Use dmy dates}} tag at that time. This was in accordance with Wikipedia practice for US-related military articles, as the US military generally used the DMY format.
This is explicitly allowed in the MOS per
WP:MILFORMAT: In some topic areas, the customary format differs from the usual national one: for example, articles on the modern US military, including US military biographical articles, use day-before-month, in accordance with US military usage.
Per
MOS:DATETIES, If an article has evolved using predominantly one date format, this format should be used throughout the article, unless there are reasons for changing it based on strong national ties to the topic or consensus on the article's talk page.
Please do not change the existing DMY format to MDY without a clear consensus here to do so. Thanks. - BilCat ( talk) 20:32, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
