Abstract:

Despite world interest in avoiding militarization of space, potential adversaries have identified theuse of space as an advantage for U.S. military forces, and are actively fielding systems to deny our useof space in a conflict. This is not without precedence. Through the centuries, nations formed armies,navies and air forces to defend the right to use the global commons of land, sea and air. Securing ourright to use space is simply an extension of an age old principle to guarantee use of global commons.
