You'll have to much farther back than that.

Vice President Mike Pence announced on December 19 that personnel in the Space Force branch of the U.S. Armed Forces will be officially called Guardians, which prompted some wisecracking from writer-director James Gunn. Since Space Force’s new “Guardians” title overlaps with Gunn’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise, the filmmaker shot back at the vice president on social media, writing: “Can we sue this dork?”
Flash forward to this week and “Star Wars” legend Mark Hamill got in on the Space Force skewering. Responding to Gunn, Hamill quipped, “So they grab the ‘Guardians’ from your movies, they use the ‘Force’ from our movies…then they have the gall to just steal their logo from ‘Star Trek’? Let’s file a three-way joint lawsuit and really nail these larcenous bastards!”
“Star Trek” icon William Shatner took notice of Hamill’s comment, but he wasn’t about to let “Star Trek” get grouped into Space Force. “Sorry [Mark Hamill] and [James Gunn] but Starfleet has to sit this one out because the symbol is actually an upside down Pontiac car logo. Maybe General Motors is building their fleet?”

Maybe you missed the part where they were all actors playing pretend with toy guys... whereas the US Space Force uses real weapons that blow things up reallllll good!
Again is it a joke when you launch an SM-3 against an incoming ICBM???
Your the joke.
The actors DO NOT own the franchise
MARK: WHEN was the USA AIR FORCE named? Were you even born???

I was actually talking about the current ships. The first ship involving the US that was commissioned and placed into service as the Enterprise was a 70 ton sloop on 10 May 1775 and decommissioned in a couple of years. It was burned to prevent capture, 7 July 1777. This ship was not a ship of the U.S. Navy. It was captured from the British and operated on Lake Champlain by Col Benedict Arnold of the Continental Army. There were nine different ships called Enterprise that I found on this website:

Guess this means I’ll have to get a space force sticker to put in the window of my Pontiac G8.
To the gas station and beyond!!!
Ferengi were chauvinistically heterosexual. I mean, they had a law that forbid their women from wearing clothing.
ThanQ for the correction\explanation
I seem to recall ear rubbing or some such thing.
Law forbids Ferengi women from wearing clothes?
That must be why I never saw a female Ferengi...probably a DS9 thing...
Only until next month.
As in Leonard McCoy?
You'll have to much farther back than that.
You're right... Gene Roddenberry knew his history... he borrowed the name... not the other way around.
Because there is no other use of the word "force" available. The word "force" can only be interpreted as a Star Wars reference. What a tool!!!
Heinlein would like to have a word with them.
Someone, tell Mark Hamill about the “Air Force.”
James Gunn is a pedophile.
Yeah, I believe it was explained on a TNG episode where a Ferengi wants to marry Deanna Troi’s mother and kidnaps her. They keep all their women naked and on the home planet, (so literally barefoot and presumably pregnant).
The Space Force is already having problems with its Space Cadets.
Space Force airman demoted for skipping training to buy PlayStation
WTH? And the reprimand posted on the USSF Fecebook page? Furthermore, they're not "airmen" anymore, but "guardians". SMH.
And I suppose they also object to Operation Warp Speed?”
