Statement of The Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology, Paul G. Kaminski, Before the National Security Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee on the FY 1996 DOD Space Program.

Abstract

Mr. Chairman, and members of the Subcommittee, I am pleased to appear before you to discuss the Department of Defense space activities in support of the President's fiscal year 1996 budget request. The United States conducts a variety of activities in space in support of national security objectives. DOD space forces support a wide range of requirements critical to the National Command Authorities, combatant commanders, and operational forces. The global coverage, high readiness, non-intrusive forward presence, and responsiveness of space forces enable them to provide real-time and near-real-time support for the full range of military operations in peace, crisis, and across the entire spectrum of conflict.
