 |

God forbid anyone in the military refer to space ..weapons!
Someone must have sent out a memo a couple of years back.
Y'all think we're not militarizing space....sheez, what a load
of rubes<g>. From the horse's mouth....
Commanding the Future
The Transformation of Air Force Space Command
Gen Lance W. Lord, USAF
(Commander of Air Force Space Command)
"Space warriors deployed to the coalition's air and space operations centers
(AOC); some served as expert advisors to the combined force land component
commander; and others deployed to wing-level units where they integrated,
facilitated, and generated space-combat effects."
Space Tomorrow
"Space capabilities are inherently global in nature and joint in terms of
the effects they produce. Air Force Space Command must develop and deliver
the full spectrum of space-combat effects."
"To do that, command and control capabilities must deliver the right combat
effect to the right place at the right time. Doing so requires a fundamental
shift in our thinking. In the past, we focused largely on the
force-enhancement role of our space systems and the deterrence role of our
nuclear forces. The space and missile operations of tomorrow will focus on
developing and projecting combat power. To make that vision a reality, Air
Force Space Command has implemented a strategy we call "Commanding the
Future"-our flight plan for transformation."
"To that end, our charter for the future of Air Force Space Command is to
maintain the highly successful force-enhancement roles the command provides
our joint forces today and to increase its focus on producing war-fighting
effects with space superiority and strike capabilities-in short, to become a
full-spectrum space-combat command."

National Security Space in the
Twenty-First Century
Hon. Peter B. Teets
(Undersecretary of the Air Force)
"Today, space power represents a decisive, asymmetric advantage for the US
government and, in particular, for military and intelligence organizations.
The space systems themselves are technologically superior and, when fused
with other air-, sea-, and land-based systems, provide the data and
information to produce the knowledge and effects needed for successful
diplomatic activities, negotiations, deterrence, or warfare."
"Space professionals must develop new technologies, systems, training
methods, concepts of operations, and organizations that will continue to
sustain the United States as a world leader in space. The new systems they
develop must achieve desirable effects at all levels of conflict.
Furthermore, they must see to it that these systems are interoperable with
and integrated into architectures that support the creation of lethal and
nonlethal effects"

You forgot to explain, why should be militarization of space bad

I never said it was! In fact I'm the biggest fan of our
military. There just seems to be this curious denial
around here of the obvious fact that we're moving
full speed ahead to build the First Generation of
starship troopers....ah..I mean...space warriors
as they're being called.
Truth is always stranger than fiction.
And btw, I'm heartened to see our military space
activities are now being designed around an 'effects'
based strategy.
Which is Complexity Science my hobby!
This is a holitic or systems perspective where the
first object of study is the output or desired effect.
And the needed inputs or weapons would evolve
through a structure where the connectivity is designed
to minimize non linear responses while providing a clear
and stable path to success. Or in other words a complex
adaptive system where the /whole/ is able to collectively
respond at once to any /single/ threat.
Like an immune response.
The space weapons race could evolve the US military
into a living breathing global machine!
They are trying to do just that, this
isn't science fiction anymore.
Effects-Based Operations
A Command Philosophy
Lt Gen Robert J. Elder Jr., USAF
(Commander, Eighth Air Force
Dynamic Operations
(Strategic Effects from Tactical Actions)
"Despite the attention paid to effects-based planning, effects-based
analysis proved particularly beneficial by helping all participants
in military operations to consider the effects of their actions on
overall objectives at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels.
We must realize that unintended consequences of our actions
may actually disrupt otherwise well-conceived plans to achieve
the CFC's objectives.
We prepare flight plans fully expecting that we will need to
deviate from them. The same holds true for execution of our
military operations: when we work the linkages and explain
the effects to everyone involved in our operations, we give
them the equivalent of a flight plan-a set of guidelines
leading towards our ultimate objectives. Armed with
this "road map," individuals confronted with unexpected
situations and forced to deviate from their original plans
can still act in a way that supports the commander's
intent, produces the desired effects, and lessens the
chance that their actions will undermine those of others
working towards the same objectives. Not every individual
needs to understand the linkages, measures of effectiveness,
or distinction between contributing nodes and primary nodes,
but everyone should appreciate how his or her actions
can either contribute to or detract from achieving
those effects."

Pioneers come home full of arrows. The military gets paid to take arrows. If
the military foots part of the development bill, it makes it easier for the
civilians. Of course, then the civilians can't complain about the subsidies
that *other* governments have for their civil industries. |

Why not? One is simply having an associated business. The other is a

So Freddy, are you finally learning how the DOD is being used as a
social program?

As usual, El Chimpko misunderstands, well, virtually everything.
