Evolving Army Needs For Space-Based Support

To support warfighters in the 21st century, Army "and joint space operations must adapt to a congested," "contested, and competitive international space envi-" "ronment. This monograph examines how the Army is" "postured to meet current and future space-based sup-" "port needs to conduct unified land operations. It also" "provides recommendations regarding how to facili-" "tate the best evolutionary path for future Army space" "activities to meet the changing environment for uni-" "fied land operations as well as the diverse challenges" "of ongoing global operations, technological advances" "by potential adversaries, increased international" "competition, and domestic resource constraints." "The monograph posits that the Army should re-" "tain its current focus on space operations as cross-" "domain support for terrestrial warfighter operations." "It also suggests that the development of such support" "should include stakeholder and proponency issues" "with regard to cyberspace operations. Continuing to" "advance policies and strategies that embrace the joint," "interagency, and international aspects of space opera-" "tions will help ensure reliable and resilient support to" "operational and tactical commanders in any theater" "of operation."
