Space Force releases new warfighting doctrine
Posted: Sun, Apr 20, 2025, 10:21 AM ET (1421 GMT)
The U.S. Space Force has released a new document on its plans to both defend American satellites and target enemy space systems. The document, titled "Space Warfighting: A Framework for Planners" and released Thursday, outlines how U.S. forces might assert control of the orbital high ground through a range of offensive and defensive operations, reflecting an evolution in how the military thinks about warfare beyond Earth. U.S. defense planners now view space as an active battleground, one that underpins nearly every modern military function, from missile warning systems to precision navigation. A Space Force general said the release of the warfighting manual reflects the "normalization" of the Space Force as a military branch that plans and conducts warfare alongside the other services.
