This paper examines two issues that are of vital importance to
short and long term operations in space and the combat engagement
of space borne assets. The first issue analyzed is the question of
the establishment of sovereignty and protective zones for free
passage in space. This paper will compare international law
treaties and other historical analyses to current United States
(US) war fighting doctrine on space and propose a United States Air
Force (USAF) position on this issue. It will define and discuss the
definition for two space protective zones. First and foremost, the
immediate safety zone by the space object and secondly, the actual
identification area around the object and its orbital track. The
second issue will be intricately more complex on determining the
engagement of space assets in both peacetime and wartime. The
possible issue of criminal and civil liability will be discussed.
The command and control of space assets will be briefly addressed
with the second issue as it continues to be an ongoing controversy.
Three differing views will be addressed. The concept that will be
centered on will be that of integrating space into the air
operations cells along with making some form of either a combined
control cell at the Joint Forces Commander level or a stand-alone
cell.
