Air Force space forces perform functions that are critical for the joint force? intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; missile warning; command and control; positioning, navigation, and timing; environmental monitoring; space control; communications; and spacelift. As our reliance on space increases, so too, must our ability to integrate space capabilities throughout joint operations. To retain the US military?s space superiority, our Air Force must fully exploit and defend the space domain.
