Never a Day without Space: Commander's Strategic VisionThe United States, along with our allies and partners, will champion and promote the responsible, peaceful, and safe use of space. However, should our nation call, United States Space Command will always remain ready to prevail against any foreign space-related aggression.The integration of space across all warfighting functions and the other four domains provides the United States with an agile and lethal conventional deterrent – and, when required, the capability to FIGHT & WIN. | How We Win ~ Achieving space superiority sets the conditions to win in conflict across all domains. To win against increasingly capable competitors, United States Space Command provides space combat power by fully integrating offensive and defensive operations alongside our longstanding allies and partners. The integration and synchronization of space capabilities and operations to achieve space combat power enables United States Space Command, as part of the Joint/Combined Force, to deter, and if necessary, defeat adversary aggression, protect and defend the U.S. homeland and its interests, and secure long-term sustainable advantages. Ultimately, space combat power is how United States Space Command ensures there is never a day without space.U.S. Space Command

Today, there are about 2,000 operational satellites in orbit. Projections for an additional 107,000 commercial license requests for orbital satellites in the next decade will continue to expand global prosperity in the 21st century. Global reliance on space is so extensive that a “day without space” would have significant impacts to our daily life.ResearchersSpace enables the functions that are vital to society, and is also a global asset for science, providing researchers the tools they need to protect and conserve nature.Allied MilitariesU.S. and allied militaries use space systems to connect, warn, guide and inform decisions across the entire spectrum of conflict from space, to the last tactical mile.SocietySPACE IMPACTS ALMOST EVERY ASPECT OF OUR DAILY LIVES ~ Space technology is integral to our increasingly digital and interconnected world. From email and internet to monitoring environmental changes and meteorology to global trade and commerce, space is essential to our daily life.James H. DickinsonGeneral, U.S. Army | Commander, U.S. Space Command ~ For over half a century, space power has provided the United States with an important strategic advantage. Today, space enables nearly every facet of society and is central to our way of life. From commerce to meteorology to global communications, society not only relies on space capabilities, it expects the services they provide to always be present.
Space enables our national security to preserve our way of life. From protecting the homeland and fighting our nation’s wars alongside allies and partners, to providing humanitarian assistance, space makes the achievements of America’s military possible.
The establishment of United States Space Command as the 11th combatant command demonstrates the critical importance America places on space. As the environment changes to reflect shifts in the geopolitical landscape, advances in technology, and new threats, space will remain a critical component of our way of life and to our national security. Our space truths are principles that reflect this enduring relationship.
They will guide our military space operations through an increasingly complex environment and into an uncertain future.A team of warfighters who outthink and outmaneuver our adversaries and enemies, and if necessary, dominate through space combat power.Vision_915d2580-1b7e-432d-83fa-cb4e30847fbaUnited States Space Command conducts operations in, from and to space to deter conflict, and, if necessary, defeat aggression, deliver space combat power for the Joint/Combined Force and defend U.S. vital interests with allies and partners.Mission_915d2580-1b7e-432d-83fa-cb4e30847fbaAdvantageSpace provides the warfighter a combat advantage from the ultimate high ground to the last tactical mile.PowerSpace warfighters generate the combat power to WIN in space.Vital InterestsSpace is a vital interest that is integral to the American way of life and national security. ~ The United States considers unfettered access to and freedom to operate in space vital interests. Like all nations, we have the inherent right of self-defense. Purposeful or harmful interference with these interests will be met with a deliberate response at a time and place of our choosing.TruthsSPACE TRUTHSSuperioritySpace superiority enables the Joint Force to rapidly transition from competition to

To achieve their strategic objectives the PRC and Russia are aggressively developing, have deployed, and stand ready to use counter-space weapons specifically designed to hold U.S. and allied space capabilities at risk.People’s Republic of China (PRC)In the era of great power competition, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Russia have global ambitions for preeminence by displacing American power and influence, challenging our national interests, and eroding American security and prosperity. The PRC is a revisionist power that seeks to undermine the international order and reorder the Indo-Pacific region to its advantage.RussiaRussia aims to restore national prestige and political influence through the use of military force and coercion to challenge Western political and security institutions in Europe and the Middle East. The PRC and Russia each constitute a significant and long-term security threat to the United States and to our allies and partners.Space PartnersThe growth of Chinese and Russian counter-space arsenals presents an immediate and serious threat to U.S., allied, and partner space activities.Warfightersunnamed generic groupunnamed stakeholderEducationEducate Joint warfighters on threats & adversariesObjective_899ebcd0-af53-4ec2-9d72-f5f76c305d651unnamed stakeholderTrainingTrain Joint warfighters to outmaneuver our enemiesObjective_5370a58b-ce8b-4cd0-8eef-e7b752562b5a2WarfightersInnovationInnovate through disruptive thinkingObjective_4dc0e0c2-d20d-4f37-8045-ea6e4a1201ad3unnamed generic groupDevelopmentBuild the command to compete and winGoal_0f3fe6e4-f99f-46d0-92a3-5256796168fe2BUILDING THE COMMAND TO COMPETE & WINunnamed stakeholderunnamed stakeholderunnamed stakeholderunnamed stakeholderCapabilityAchieve full operational capabilityObjective_92221f53-60aa-4bd7-abe4-fa8b1b6db7541unnamed stakeholderCultureSustain a warfighting cultureObjective_fdc8bf61-1448-4f29-a900-72aab49bec8c2unnamed stakeholderAdaptationAdapting to a dynamic & changing strategic environmentObjective_49a6101c-e60a-4711-a2e6-98acb5c149493unnamed stakeholderRelationshipsMaintain key relationshipsGoal_11d5b1cf-57e8-403c-96f5-cc7f35927c593MAINTAINING KEY RELATIONSHIPSunnamed stakeholderunnamed stakeholderunnamed stakeholderunnamed stakeholderAlliances & PartnershipsStrengthen alliances & attract new partnersObjective_c3f0d370-b970-4f26-9016-c4cb68ab34fb1unnamed stakeholderInteroperabilityEnhance interoperabilityObjective_dde9b969-ca6c-4c14-bd6d-f999b0f910cf2unnamed stakeholderUnificationUniting around a compelling narrativeObjective_e22b9778-4005-44cf-a07a-526ad30592bd3unnamed stakeholderDigital SuperiorityMaintain digital superiorityGoal_32bc59bf-3b3d-42e4-badc-41071f9ad1744MAINTAINING DIGITAL SUPERIORITYunnamed stakeholderunnamed stakeholderunnamed stakeholderunnamed stakeholderInnovationInnovating for competitive advantageObjective_f1915e6f-6416-4b4f-b817-68d7ec41fb651unnamed stakeholderAgility & ResiliencyEvolve cyber operations for an agile & resilient postureObjective_32325785-785a-4cff-bd0a-657e645526c52unnamed stakeholderTechnologiesInvest in game-changing technologiesObjective_87ab6ed8-4f3e-4d1f-a77b-a77dbdecbb2d3unnamed stakeholderOrganizational IntegrationIntegrate commercial and interagency organizationsGoal_8a92fdf5-bd23-414d-9127-d76a193068585INTEGRATING COMMERCIAL & INTERAGENCY ORGANIZATIONSunnamed stakeholderunnamed stakeholderunnamed stakeholderunnamed stakeholderBehaviorsPromote responsible behaviors in spaceObjective_8154bd72-a8fb-44c3-8881-2f7fbb6049421unnamed stakeholderCapabilitiesAdvocate for greater space capabilitiesObjective_47f27dde-fd06-43a8-97e2-29a8812adb432unnamed stakeholderChallenges & CollaborationCollaborate to solve mutual challenges with all elements of national powerObjective_09e63113-49e1-46ec-b0ad-5aec780b35143unnamed stakeholderStrategyPlan_915d2580-1b7e-432d-83fa-cb4e30847fba2021-11-19Submitter_915d2580-1b7e-432d-83fa-cb4e30847fbaOwenAmbur
