Understanding, Managing, and Reporting U.S. Space Force Readiness

Abstract

Facing increasing threats from other military powers in outer space, the United States established a Space Force as a branch of the U.S. armed forces in December 2019. Military operations in space are different from those of other domains, but military space activity has often been governed by the same doctrine, policy, systems, processes, and standards as other Department of Defense (DoD) communities. The creation of the U.S. Space Force (USSF)presents an opportunity to depart from their U.S. Air Force legacy to make such things better match the unique characteristics and demands of the space domain.
