Army Space and Missile Defense Command's "Position on Space"
Abstract
The JP 3-14, Joint Doctrine for Space Operations, is under periodic revision. Given the pace of operations and the very rapid evolution, development, and fielding of new Space systems over the past five years, this updated publication is likely to be profoundly changed from its current form. This new publication will greatly impact all Army Space forces until the next update scheduled for 2014. In the summer 2007, there will be a contingent designated by Department of the Army to represent our interests during the rewrite of the publication. This article describes an ongoing effort to define the "Official SMDC Position on Space." When completed, this document will evolve into the Army's Position on Space and will serve as a guide to ensure that the new Joint Doctrine will support all of the services needs over the next several years. Since JP 3-14 was last published in August 2002, there have been numerous updates in Space products and equipment as well as new missions and requirements demanded of the Army Space Cadre. With that have come new Tactics Techniques and Procedures, Command and Control relationships, and other procedures developed by Army Space personnel that have yet to be fully captured and codified so that we may update Joint and Service doctrine. We at the Future Warfare Center's Directorate of Combat Development need your help in encapsulating these innovative measures that you have seen or developed to ensure that the rapidly evolving Space doctrine keeps pace with what you are doing in the field. This article is intended to provide inspiration for you to give us exactly that type of input.
