Space Support Fully Integrated into All Phases of a Conflict: Ensuring Space Dominance for the Operational Commander

Abstract

Space Support Fully Integrated into All Phases of a Conflict: Ensuring Space Dominance for the Operational Commander. While Space Dominance has become a given for U.S. commanders in recent conflicts, emerging threats and the growth of complex space systems make the maintenance of that dominance a growing challenge. Numerous nations now have (or are developing) space capabilities and could challenge us in the next decade. In order to properly utilize and manage the various assets and threats facing our forces, operational commanders must be able to fully integrate space into all levels of their planning for a campaign. From Shaping Efforts, long before the fighting starts, through Enabling Civil Authorities, after the fighting ends, there are numerous capabilities which we must understand and master to win in the battle space of tomorrow.
