Today's Army is critically dependent upon Space capabilities to enable and enhance land warfare. Virtually every Army operation relies on Space capabilities to some degree to enhance the effectiveness of our combat forces. Currently, the Army uses Space capabilities to communicate, navigate, target the enemy and protect our forces. In the not too distant future, the Army's use of and dependence on Space capabilities will be more robust than today. The Army's future formations and systems will use Space in new ways that will cut across traditional Battle Field Operating Systems and bring increasingly integrated and effective capabilities. Tomorrow's Soldiers will rely on the expanded use of Space capabilities, to include expanded Space forces, Space expertise, Space-enabled systems and expanded Space doctrine. The Directorate of Combat Development, as part of the Future Warfare Center, is working to bring these expanded Space capabilities to tomorrow's Soldier. We work to develop the future doctrine, organizations, training, and leadership programs that the Army will use to employ Space and missile defense capabilities. Our charter is to ensure that the Army has the Soldiers and structures that are ready to meet future Space and missile defense requirements. Through independent and complementary activities, our overriding and unifying purpose is to expand Space and missile defense capabilities within the Army. This article discusses how the Army is expanding its space capabilities through the Army Space Master Plan, the Space Cadre, Space Support Elements, Space Integration, and Space Training.
