The Department of Defense activated the Operationally Responsive Space (ORS) Office in May, 2007, to improve space capability responsiveness to Joint Force Commanders. This paper examines why the office was established, changes in the space threat environment and U.S. response to those threats during the first year of the office's existence, and what activities the office has engaged in. It recommends curtailing Tier-1 and Tier-3 activities and emphasizing Tier-2; incorporating ORS into joint and service exercises, and pursuing anti-satellite (ASAT) capabilities.
