The Future of Army Space Forces: A Vision to Optimize Tactical and Operational Space Support
Abstract
Space support to Land Component formations continues to evolve as the requirements for Space support change and grow. This evolution is apparent in the methods and procedures used to deliver Space support, as well as in the organizational structure that is developing and expanding to provide this support. The Army's current organizational structure for Space is largely a result of the confluence of the Global War on Terror and the effects of Army Transformation. Specifically, Army Space Support Teams and Space Support Elements have been modified in terms of both organization and function even as we work to complete the fielding of these Teams and Elements across the Modular Army. Today's structure, including both personnel and equipment, is not optimized to deliver Space support for current operations and will not be adequate in the future without additional evolution. This paper will address Land Component Space support needs, the organizations designed to deliver this support, the roles and functions of those organizations, and recommendations for optimizing the quality and effectiveness of Space support.
