The Department of Defense's Space Policy, Joint Publication 3-14, Joint Doctrine for Space Operations, and other sources make clear the importance of space and space forces to current and future US military operations. Throughout these documents and discussions, the joint nature of space operations is made clear, to include its recent reaffirmation by the transfer of the military space portfolio and the associated components from all of the services to the new US Strategic Command. In order to fulfill its assigned responsibilities and to properly address its interests in space systems, capabilities and exploitation, the Army must train soldiers with the right skills, assign them to the right organizations and have properly constituted and vigorous organizations whose missions incorporate space-related responsibilities. This paper will examine the current and future missions and interests of the Army with respect to space capabilities. It will then examine the skill sets, personnel assignments and organizations that are and will be required to meet the Army's needs for space capabilities from the perspectives of doctrine, training and organization. It compares current organizations with those that arise from its analysis and presents recommendations for addressing those discrepancies that it identifies.
