The military's growing dependence on commercial satellite communications systems will become a strength or vulnerability based on how well the right balance is achieved between commercial and military systems. Determining that balance is a function of clearly understanding both DoD's requirements and the vulnerabilities and risks associated with the use of, and dependence on, commercial systems.
