The Impact of Space to the 21st Century American Military

Abstract

The American military relies on outer space to enable all facets of operations. The reliance on space has a strategic impact on how the force is manned and equipped as well as a cultural impact on the expectations of the force. With a growing reliance on space as a medium to conduct operations, strategic leaders must look at the impact on the force and its ability to conduct operations if space is not available in the future.
