Space is recognized as an operational medium. This is also recognized in Joint Vision 2010 and drafts of Joint Publication 3- F on areas Space Support includes space launch systems and facilities along with satellite control systems Force Enhancement is focused on the use of space systems to provide products, services and capabilities to support military operations. Capabilities that come under force enhancement are Communications Warming and attack assessment Environmental monitoring Mapping, charting and geodesy telligence surveillance and reconnaissance Space Control includes space surveillance aspace battle management, protection of space systems, prevention of an enemys effective use of space, and the negation of hostile space systems. Force application refers to the use of weapons in space to apply military power against an adversary. This includes treaty compliant research and development for space based ballistic missile defense.

Space is recognized as an operational medium. This is also recognized in Joint Vision 2010 and drafts of Joint Publication 3- 14. Four space mission areas are: • Space Support includes space launch systems and facilities along with satellite control systems. • Force Enhancement is focused on the use of space systems to provide products, services and capabilities to support military operations. Capabilities that come under force enhancement are: - Communications - Navigation - Warming and attack assessment - Environmental monitoring - Mapping, charting and geodesy - Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance • Space Control includes space surveillance aspace battle management, protection of space systems, prevention of an enemy’s effective use of space, and the negation of hostile space systems. • Force application refers to the use of weapons in space to apply military power against an adversary. This includes treaty compliant research and development for space based ballistic missile defense.
