From the earliest days of space exploration, space has been used for military purposes. This use has ranged from imagery for reconnaissance, such as the recently declassified Project Corona, weather, and terrain mapping to long range communications and the more recent innovations from precision navigation. Over the past few decades, space has proven itself a superior force multiplier. America's extensive investments in military space systems paid off demonstrably in OPERATION DESERT STORM and OPERATION ALLIED FORCE. The Department of Defense Space Policy calls space a strategic enabler and calls it a necessary precursor to the way we fight wars on land, at sea, and in the air. We have, perhaps, reached the point where we take the need for space support in battle as a given. But if it is so obvious to us that we need space to fight, what must the rest of the world be thinking. There is nothing uniquely American about space that prevents the rest of the world from learning from our example.
