This years threat assessment should be coming out soon but this space force is a real thing. Page 13 discusses it.
"Both Russia and China continue to pursue antisatellite (ASAT) weapons as a means to reduce US
and allied military effectiveness. Russia and China aim to have nondestructive and destructive
counterspace weapons available for use during a potential future conflict. We assess that, if a future
conflict were to occur involving Russia or China, either country would justify attacks against US and
allied satellites as necessary to offset any perceived US military advantage derived from military,
civil, or commercial space systems. Military reforms in both countries in the past few years indicate
an increased focus on establishing operational forces designed to integrate attacks against space
systems and services with military operations in other domains.
Russian and Chinese destructive ASAT weapons probably will reach initial operational capability in
the next few years"
