Will the Larger Air Force Ever Accept the Space Cadre

Abstract

Fully integrating the space cadre into the US Air Force, perhaps even to the point that one day an Air and Space Combat Command exists within the US Air and Space Force, will require that proponents of space-based combat power overcome a wide range of obstacles, none of which are entirely new. The space cadre can solve these problems more easily if it learns the hard-won lessons of its many predecessors. Space-based combat power and its associated space cadre are just recent innovations struggling for acceptance by and integration into the existing warrior community.
