The future success for deterring threats to US national security will depend to a significant degree upon the flexibility of US space systems, With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the greatest single threat to the US and Western ideals has disappeared. Unfortunately, the world isn't any safer considering growing regional nationalism, ethnicity, and religious zealousness. Future US military space systems will have to react to the growing regional threats throughout the world. Maj Thomas A. Torgerson's study provides a visionary approach for projecting the utility of space systems for a spectrum of applications. His study addresses the increasing ballistic missile and space lift threats the US will confront. He identifies specific applications for deployable space systems for each of the four space force functions: force enhancement, force application, space control, and space support. He examines manning, organizational structure, costs, and acquisition methods. Major Torgerson's study provides a fresh approach to apply space at the theater level to meet the challenges aerospace operators and planners will confront.
