Abstract

China's rising global status and aggressive actions in the South China Sea in threatening freedom of navigation, anti-aircraft, area denial, and false territory claims have prompted the Commandant of the Marine Corps to create Force Design 2020, pivoting focus and operational concepts towards addressing these issues and utilizing space technology to achieve success in the future operating environment. The following examination of policy documents and joint publications along with the relevant critiques and an assessment of recent technological advances in space capabilities is presented to demonstrate how Marines can and should integrate space capabilities into their operations and the joint fight.
