This new edition of Beyond Horizons marks the occasion of two important milestones: the 60th anniversary of the Air Force, and the 25th anniversary of Air Force Space Command as the service's central space force provider and integrator for the nation's space defense. This edition brings the Air Force space story up to date in a comprehensive, concluding chapter that examines major themes and events in the Air Force space arena during the past decade. These include transitioning from strategic to theater oriented space systems in the post-Cold War era; recovery from the Acquisitions turmoil of the 1990s; impact of the Commission to Assess United States National Security Space Management and Organization's findings on national security space in general and Air Force space in particular; developing an Operationally Responsive Space launch and payload capability; leveraging commercial space assets to support military operations; creating greater space situational awareness and protecting the space force; and charting the increasingly indispensible role of the Air Force space force in four joint, 'network centric' military operations
