Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS), SASC Ranking Member the following paper today: Snippets re: the U.S. Space Force: Every military service relies on the Space Force to communicate, navigate, target, and conduct modern warfare. The U.S. Space Force has enjoyed real budgetary growth since its inception, but that does not mean it cannot do more. Classified programs in development must be procured at scale. The Space Force also must be able to defend itself in space and on the ground. Assured access to space remains a top priority for the Space Force, and the launch industry cannot be allowed to consolidate or stop driving down cost-per-launch. The Space Force must ride the zeitgeist of rapid commercial development in the space domain and use that to its advantage. T The size of the Space Force and Space Command unfunded requests in FY25 belie the fact that much more can be done to ensure the U.S. retains the advantage in space. https://lnkd.in/ei8umPd5

"SPAFORGEN, which was first previewed by Saltzman in a C-Note late last year, will follow three phases through which Guardians will rotate. First is the “Prepare Phase” for Guardians to learn their assigned roles. Second is the “Ready Phase,” during which Guardians will “participate in advanced training to equip them for high-intensity conflict,” Saltzman wrote. Finally is the “Commit Phase,” in which Guardians will be part of a combat squadron or combat detachment. The Air Force is following a similar concept with AFFORGEN, which has four six-month cycles. That model has already been implemented, with the first Airmen deploying under it last fall." https://lnkd.in/gDbx75xP

#ICYMI • SecAF Frank Kendall redesignated SpOC West as U.S. Space Forces – Space, a United States Space Force Component Field Command directly subordinate to the Chief of Space Operations on Dec. 6th. The activation of S4S ensures space forces are most efficiently presented to U.S. Space Command to best meet challenges presented by the dynamic national security environment and the return to great power competition. "What does this mean for SpOC? SpOC remains the Service-retained #USSF force provider to all Combatant Commands. We will continue to generate, present, and sustain Space Forces to protect America and its Allies in, from, and to space, now and into the future." said Lt. Gen. Stephen Whiting, SpOC commander, "Congratulations to our teammates at S4S as they take on the responsibilities of being the USSF Service Component to #USSPACECOM. It is vital we be good teammates in support of their responsibilities. Thanks for all you do to ensure we remain a combat-ready Space Force." #USSpaceForce #SpaceForce #SemperSupra #ViaVincimus #NeverADayWithoutSpace

With AI in nearly all defense discussions these days, take a look at the future of war, where human operators likely are going, and how human-machine teaming may need to be relabeled "machine-human teaming" in future battlefields.

For decades, United States Air Force test and training ranges, like the Nevada Test and Training Range and the Utah Test and Training Range, have provided aircrews with flexible, realistic, multidimensional battle spaces to conduct testing and advanced training. Though only a few years old, the National Space Test and Training Complex (NSTTC) functions as a space-based counterpart, providing unique opportunities for Guardians to hone their warfighting skills in the era of Great Power Competition. Capt. Anthony Guglielmo, 98th Space Range Squadron mission safety officer, acknowledges the concept of a space range can seem abstract to those outside of space-related career fields. He says it helps people to better conceptualize the range when he describes it like a “sandbox at the playground.” “In simple terms, it means that if you’re a space operator or a test engineer, who wants to come and test out your new equipment in space, we provide a safe, secure, supervised area with lots of different toys for your equipment to interact with,” Guglielmo said. 🔗 | Read more here: https://lnkd.in/g_XFs8FQ #PrepareEveryGuardian | United States Space Force
