Joint Doctrine for Space Operations
Abstract
This publication provides guidelines for planning and conducting joint space operations. It provides space doctrine fundamentals for all warfighters - air, land, sea, space, and special operations forces; describes the military operational principles associated with support from and through space, and operating in space; explains US Space Command relationships and responsibilities; and establishes a framework for the employment of space forces and space capabilities. This publication has been prepared under the direction of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It sets forth doctrine to govern the joint activities and performance of the Armed Forces of the United States in joint operations and provides the doctrinal basis for US military involvement in multinational and interagency operations. It provides military guidance for the exercise of authority by combatant commanders and other joint force commanders (JFCs) and prescribes doctrine for joint operations and training. It provides military guidance for use by the Armed Forces in preparing their appropriate plans. It is not the intent of this publication to restrict the authority of the JFC from organizing the force and executing the mission in a manner the JFC deems most appropriate to ensure unity of effort in the accomplishment of the overall mission.
