In most Science Fiction stories/movies that I have read/seen, the space military forces are organized much like current naval forces.
It just makes sense....
Assuming your space military forces are running around in large ships that require a large number of crewmembers, that is.
Such is very similar to how naval forces function currently.
By that measure, even if USAF continues to be in charge of space, I suspect that when or if (decades or centuries from now) large ships with high crew requirements are in use, they will need to be organized in a way similar to today’s naval forces.
