“The Space Force has defined what it means by “space warfighting” in a new document that service officials hope will give a clearer picture to guardians and joint planners of how the service plans to operate in a future conflict.
The document, dubbed “Space Warfighting – A Framework for Planners,” represents the “natural maturing” of the 5-year-old Space Force, a service that once shied away from publicly saying it would conduct offensive and defensive operations in space, said Lt. Gen. Shawn Bratton, Space Force deputy chief of space operations, strategy, plans, programs, and requirements.
“This document is really intended to do that, to introduce sort of a common framework, common lexicon that we can use in our training and in our education programs, and really write down things that then guardians can argue about and debate and think about and use as a tool in their planning that really is about fighting in the domain,” Bratton told reporters ahead of the release. ”
