   There would have to be a rational reason that would convince the Senate   
   not to override the action, and doubling the money already spent   
   creating the SF (by having to spend to undo things) doesn't seem a good   
   idea without more being achieved.   
      
   I suspect that there were people in the Pentagon who thought this was a   
   good idea even before Trump "thought it up", and perhaps they now have   
   sufficient consensus to keep it going.   
      
   Biden's role is likely to be deciding who wins in turf disputes about   
   specific systems, commands, or policies when the AF and the SF can't   
   come to an agreement.   
      
   Side note:  one explanation I encountered long ago for the lack of   
   German carriers in WWII was that the Luftwaffe didn't want anyone else   
   controlling planes.
