Download or read book Space Support to Army Operations written by Department of the Army and published by . This book was released on 2005-05-18 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army is critically dependent on space capabilities to enable and enhance land warfare. Virtually every Army operation uses space capabilities to some degree. Today, we use space largely for its ability to enhance the effectiveness of our combat forces. We can communicate; navigate; target, find, and fix the enemy; anticipate weather; and protect our forces based on combat and support assets available from space. We also strive to control space so adversaries cannot overcome our asymmetrical advantages in space. Space provides tremendous leverage to the Army's land warfare capability. The Army views space as a vertical extension of the battlefield and an integral part of the battlespace, one that has been especially instrumental during the ongoing global war on terrorism. The Army's transformation also integrates space into all phases of planning and operations as a core element of that process. The Army's future force, serving as part of the joint force, will be even more adaptable and lethal, leveraging the capabilities of the ultimate high ground. The nature of warfighting is changing rapidly, and the Army's strategic role in space is evolving as a result. Our dependence on space will increase in the future as space based capabilities enable the future force concepts of information superiority, enhanced situational awareness, and high-tempo, noncontiguous operations. Space use will increase as technology propels us toward more flexible and less expensive access, and development of more comprehensive space warfighting tools. History and the march of technology tell us that the time will come when we use space not only to enhance land warfighting capabilities, but also for direct combat, in other words, force application from space. The doctrine contained in this field manual is an essential component of the Army's efforts to maximize the contributions that space capabilities bring to land warfare. It describes the work our soldiers do now to use current space capabilities effectively. It also provides the Army framework for success as we grow more sophisticated and capable in our employment of space capabilities. Development of this space doctrine is an important step along the Army's transformation journey.
