Rapid Space Force Reconstitution Mandate for United States Security.

Abstract

The ultimate objective of military space operations is the effective employment of space capabilities in support of land, sea and air operations to gain and maintain a combat advantage throughout the operational continuum and across the three levels of war. Accomplishing this objective requires the employment of space forces when and where they are needed-an objective that can be met by rapid space force reconstitution. RASFOR must be an integral part of a balanced approach to military spacelift if the United States is to ensure its control over the ultimate high ground of space.
