Jun 2014 Pocket Size Why buy a book you can download for free? We print the paperback book so you don't have to. First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it's the latest version (not always easy). Some documents found on the web are missing some pages or the image quality is so poor, they are difficult to read. If you find a good copy, you could print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people (typically its either out of paper or toner). If it's just a 10-page document, no problem, but if it's 250-pages, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour. It's much more cost-effective to just order the bound paperback from Amazon.com We print these paperbacks as a service so you don't have to. The books are compact, tightly-bound paperback, full-size (8 1/2 by 11 inches), with large text and glossy covers. 4th Watch Publishing Co. is a SDVOSB. https: //usgovpub.com
Download or read book Military Operations written by The United States Army and published by . This book was released on 2003-04-11 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 21st century, the battlefield will extend vertically into the region of space. This operational concept is intended to focus the Army's effort to exploit the high ground of space, and seamlessly integrate it into land force operations. Achieving space dominance will be critical to gaining and maintaining the information superiority required for the advanced full-spectrum operations described in the Army's Objective Force Concept. This publication describes the contribution space provides to land forces and what the Army will do to contribute to joint dominance of the dimension of space. Army space operations will focus on five essential tasks to ensure that the Objective Force will successfully achieve decisive victory. These five essential space operations tasks are: * Support increased deployability and reduced theater footprint. * Achieve situational understanding (SU) "Off the Ramp" during entry operations. * Support precision maneuver, fires, sustainment, and information. * Enable continuous information and decision superiority. * Protect the force during all phases of the operation. Seamlessness will be the signature characteristic of well-integrated space and land force operations. From the user perspective, space support must be reliable and timely, and operational friction must be minimized. During operations at the tactical or operational level, undue delays or discontinuities will quickly make space support irrelevant. For this reason, the central thrust of Army space operations is to reduce technical and procedural seams in the system of systems. In effect, many of the actions outlined here will bridge, bypass, or remove seams that would otherwise lessen or nullify the effectiveness of space support to land force operations. The Army has been, is, and will continue to be, a prominent player on the joint space team. Preparations are now underway to develop new Army contributions to the functions of space surveillance, and negation of space control operations. Army forces will also provide support to space forces, such as those conducting space satellite control operations. Some of this support will be tied to the Army's role in homeland security, with an emphasis on Army national missile defense operations. This concept also touches on several advanced space operations for the near to mid terms. Space control capabilities to enhance information operations (IO) will continue to be a high priority. Procedures to enable direct tasking of satellites by tactical commanders, and expanded employment of direct downlinks from satellites to tactical users, will remain an ongoing initiative. In the far-term, this capability will be achieved through the Global Information Grid (GIG). The infusion of functional area (FA) 40 space operations officers, into existing headquarters, will ensure current and future space force enhancement tools and products are integrated into the Objective Force operations. Space awareness and analysis provide a combat multiplier required for achieving information superiority. Whether at home or abroad, near or far term, Army space operations will be consistent with the Army's responsibility to conduct prompt and sustained land combat, and win the nation's wars. As the Army moves forward in its transformation, and achieves Objective Force qualities, we must, in all our mission areas, ensure that we are truly "transformational" and not just "reforming." The words of J.F.C. Fuller, expressed in the early 1930's, should serve as a constant reminder: "Rather than refighting the last war, we should instead ask, 'Given an emerging technology, how can we fight war more rationally?'"

Download or read book Space Capstone Publication Spacepower written by Us Government United States Space Force and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, Space Capstone Publication Spacepower: Doctrine for Space Forces, is capstone doctrine for the United States Space Force and represents our Service's first articulation of an independent theory of spacepower. This publication answers why spacepower is vital for our Nation, how military spacepower is employed, who military space forces are, and what military space forces value. In short, this capstone document is the foundation of our professional body of knowledge as we forge an independent military Service committed to space operations. Like all doctrine, the SCP remains subject to the policies and strategies that govern its employment. Military spacepower has deterrent and coercive capacities - it provides independent options for National and Joint leadership but achieves its greatest potential when integrated with other forms of military power. As we grow spacepower theory and doctrine, we must do so in a way that fosters greater integration with the Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. It is only by achieving true integration and interdependence that we can hope to unlock spacepower's full potential.

Book excerpt: At the end of Operations Desert Shield/Storm, many in the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and elsewhere declared the U.S. had won "the first Space War". This study will demonstrate the Gulf War represents an important benchmark for the role of U.S. space systems in support of warfighters. This study will show that while the Gulf War demonstrated the promise of fully integrating space systems into the U.S. joint doctrine and operations, lessons learned in the Gulf War identified shortfalls in planning, doctrine, experience and operations which remain to be addressed. This study explores the importance of space support to U.S. ground warfighters. U.S. military planners have made efforts to develop space policy and doctrine reflecting the end of the Cold War and emerging space systems technology. The study includes a brief synopsis of the emerging doctrine. Since the Gulf War U.S. space force structure modifications and technological developments have progressed. This study will evaluate if these changes successfully overcome Gulf War deficiencies. This study will assess the changing space environment in order to determine if the U.S. is better prepared to employ space plans, doctrine, force structure, experience and systems to support U.S. ground command in likely future conflicts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the beginning, U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC) and Army Space Command soldiers and civilians have been fully engaged in a myriad of actions supporting Operations Noble Eagle and Enduring Freedom. SMDC has deployed soldiers, civilians, and contractors worldwide and has brought a global perspective and experience to the global fight. Our Army Space and Missile Defense team has provided Army Space Support Teams with new operational capabilities, provided Space-based images of numerous regions of the world, created 3-D fly-throughs for pilots, tracked force movements across remote regions of the world, planned for the Homeland Defense, and more. While the specifics on much of what we have done are classified, some of our activities since September 11 can be addressed in a general manner. The Army Space Operations Center (ARSPOC) in Colorado Springs is providing reach-back Space and communications support around the clock. All taskings and mission directives from the Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Space Command (CINCSPACE) are handled here. In addition to providing the command and control and operational status of Army Space forces, the ARSPOC pushes information forward to Space operations officers worldwide supporting our warfighters. It provides a reach-back one-stop-shop for Space operations officers when they need information and support. The ARSPOC has provided 24/7 support to CINCSPACE, the Army, and Space officers around the globe. The Command provided and continues to provide spectral information and services to strategic-level commanders to use in their decision-making processes. Their requests for support started flowing into our Spectral Operations Resource Center (SORC) beginning September 11. Several great articles about this are in this issue of the journal.

Download or read book Evolving Army Needs for Space Based Support written by Jeffrey L. Caton and published by Department of the Army. This book was released on 2015-04 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army has been involved with space-based military operations for well over a half-century. During this time, space operations have changed from a realm exclusive to scientists and engineers, to highly classified activities largely unknown to the general population, to the unveiling of space-based communication, imagery, surveillance, and environment capabilities that have become a foundation for all modern warfare. Today, such support is so ingrained into daily operations that most soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines assume it has been, and always will be, available for their use. But with such reliance comes vulnerability that potential adversaries may try to exploit. The evolution of Army space operations is well-documented in many sources, thus this monograph serves not as a comprehensive history or detailed critique of the myriad accomplishments. Rather, it serves as a primer for current and future space-based operations to provide senior policymakers, decisionmakers, military leaders, and their respective staffs, an overall appreciation for existing Army space capabilities and the challenges, opportunities, and risks associated with their use in joint operations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Space Force, An Introduction - Key Concepts and Overall ProgressionSpace-based capabilities provide integral support to military, commercial, and civilian applications. Longstanding technological and cost barriers to space are falling, enabling more countries and commercial firms to participate in satellite construction, space launch, space exploration, and human spaceflight. Although these advancements are creating new opportunities, new risks for space-enabled services have emerged. Having seen the benefits of space-enabled operations, some foreign governments are developing capabilities that threaten others' ability to use space.The Derpartment of Defense proposes to establish, in Fiscal Year 2020, a United States Space Force as a separate branch of the Armed Forces within the Department of the Air Force. If authorized, the Secretary of the Air Force will be responsible for organizing, training, and equipping two separate and distinct Military Services: the United States Space Force and the United States Air Force. A uniformed 4-star Chief of Staff of the Space Force would serve as a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. A new Under Secretary for Space would provide dedicated civilian supervision of the Space Force.The U.S. military must posture itself to assure freedom of operation in space, to deter attacks, and, when necessary, to defeat adversary space and counterspace threats to the national security interests of the United States and its allies and partners.
