Space Doctrine for the 21st Century

Today there is virtually no approved space doctrine to guide the develop. & employ. of space forces. Without a clear vision of what space forces should do, the U.S. Air Force has been left to build space forces in an ad hoc manner. This document attempts to define a doctrine-development process & use it to formulate a space doctrine. This space doctrine includes the tenets of space power, the operational art of space warfare, & implementation strategies for space forces. This space doctrine can be applied to ongoing space operations. Chapters: the space doctrine problem; current space doctrine; doctrine development process; space power theory; warfare in the space environment; & applying operational art.
