This U.S. Army War College student author believes that a strategic
stationing plan for existing THAAD and JLENS missile defense assets
must be developed concurrent with acquisition of new air and
missile defense capabilities. He argues: ---- Although the Army has
conceptual plans and requirements for the development of new air
and missile defense capabilities, specifically THAAD and JLENS, the
Army has not defined a strategic employment / deployment plan to
meet Combatant Commanders' demands. ---- Throughout the 1990s, the
Army deployed PATRIOT task forces to Southwest Asia and South Korea
with little overarching strategic planning balanced against
competing and evolving demands for missile defense capabilities.
---- The constant deployments had an adverse impact on the AMD
force from personnel, training, and operational readiness
perspectives. ---- This caused the Army to reevaluate its
employment plan to sustain operational demand without breaking the
AMD force. The Army used the Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN) model
with 1:2 dwell time as means to sustain operational commitments.
---- Combatant Commanders' immediate demand for THAAD and JLENS, as
they come off the production lines and lack of a clear stationing
plan, could lead to a repeat of these 1990's challenges.
This monograph addresses the concept of how space support provides
the enabling functions to facilitate the Unit of Employment's
attainment of full spectrum dominance from the operational to
tactical battlefield. It demonstrates the relevance of the space
operations essential tasks to enable the Unit of Employment (UE)
Concept. There are five Space Operations Essential Tasks: Support
increased deployability and reduced theater footprint; achieve
situational understanding "Off the Ramp" during entry operations;
support precision maneuver, fires, sustainment, and information;
enable continuous information and decision superiority; and protect
the force during all phases of the operation. The integration of
these five tasks, their capabilities and functions and the denial
of these benefits to adversarial forces are crucial to the UE
concept of operations . Space operations enables the objective
force to achieve the characteristics envisioned for it by Army's
Transformation Plan. This support resides in three key areas:
C4ISR, space control, and force protection. Space support
seamlessly integrates into all land force operations and remains a
vital component of the Objective Force. The theater commander can
directly access responsive and reliable space-based support across
the entire spectrum of conflict. The United States'; ability to
control space ensures the uninterrupted use of space-based assets
to facilitate command and control and the protection of the force.
