Space Education at the United States Army Command and General Staff School

By Timothy J Lincoln

The nature of warfare is in a constant state of evolution where technological advances and innovative ways of employing solutions to diplomatic, information, military, and economic challenges are a matter of national primacy and survival. Space assets and the effects they create offer many technological solutions to complex problems across the national instruments of power. Specifically, when synergized with decisive air, land, sea, and cyber operations, space assets, and space effects enable strategic, operational, and tactical level asymmetric advantages. The United States has enjoyed an unprecedented asymmetric advantage in space operations in the last 15 years. However, the progress the United States has made in the development of space capabilities has also deepened our dependency and potentially increased our vulnerability to attack and exploitation of the very capabilities we depend on. The January 2007 Chinese Anti-Satellite (ASAT) test exemplifies just how vulnerable United States space assets are to attack.
