There is a precedent:
Disregarding the fact that Space Force, at this time, is a dumb idea, transitioning this way allows them to transition personnel, etc. in a much more streamlined way: all personnel, materiel, etc. would still be under the AF. It also makes it easy for them to transition back to the Air Force should this go away (though I don’t expect that–bureaucratic momentum is a thing.)
