Yes. It’s time (long past time, IMO) to move them from the Air Force to the Army. They’re really just very long-range artillery. Get the USAF out of both the missile and space business and get it to focus on aviation.

Sounds totally sensible, so unlikely to happen.
If it were to pass to the army national command structures would need to change. NORAD would need to reintegrate with Army command structures. Rather than focus solely on the ICBM force it would be a good time to review our command structures both for land space and air. Perhaps threat assessment and strategic battle operations might be re-centered around the Space Force
which could go far beyond CONUS “defense”. IMO giving them something meaningful to do.
