Space Operations, This document complements Joint Pub 3-56.1

Abstract

This version of Air Force Doctrine Document 2-2 (AFDD 2-2) updates Air Force space doctrine with current examples of space contributions to warfighting. We have added detailed discussion on how space operations fit into Joint Task Force (JTF) operations with special emphasis on space, air, and information synergy. Chapters on command and control, planning, and execution capture both the global and regional perspective, and introduce the construct of a Joint Force Air and Space Component Commander (JFASCC). We believe that renaming the Joint Force Air Component Commander (JFACC) to JFASCC more accurately reflects the emerging role of space in regional operations, and trends occurring in the Joint and Combined Air operations Centers. Finally, we address training and education within the context of developing future space warriors. We believe this doctrine better captures the warfighter's perspective.
