The Space Force is readying a new “Space Warfighting” framework to explain service concepts and terms — such as “space superiority” and “orbital warfare” — both internally to its own operational planners and externally to Joint Force planners, Chief of Space Operations Gen. Chance Saltzman said today.
“[W]hat it allows us to do is is lay down a common vocabulary, common terms of reference,” he told the Mitchell Institute in an online interview. “This is what really has to happen in order for us to achieve space superiority.”
The interview signaled a rapprochement between Saltzman and the institute, following his Feb. 20 ban on engagement with Mitchell by Space Force personnel — which came hard on the heels of the Feb. 19 release of a new Mitchell report calling on the Defense Department, and the Space Force itself to more clearly define the service’s role in warfighting.
“I just want to kind of clear the air right out of the gate. I did have some concerns recently over a report that was issued by Mitchell Institute, but I want to be clear: it was really about the circumstances,” Saltzman said.
