Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Trump launches Space Command
A unified combatant command of US military is
composed of forces from Military Departments to provide effective command and
control of U.S. military forces. They are organized either on a geographical
basis, such as Europe, Indo-Pacific, and Africa or on a functional basis, such
as special operations, power projection, or transport.
Now, the world’s mightiest military force has
added a new command that is intended to ensure safety and superiority in space.
These days, satellites are crucial for military operations, civilian businesses,
and air, maritime, and even ground transportation. But they are threatened not
only by an enormous number of space debris but also by missiles, laser, and cyber attacks.
As technologies ease the accessibility to space, satellites become more vulnerable
to such attacks. In fact, it doesn’t need rocket science or deep government pockets
to reach space any longer. Startups, terrorists or even gamers could pose threats
to safety in space and over the world.
The newly formed 11th US combat command
seems to have a lot of tasks and responsibilities on their shoulders besides
their marks.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about
this new military focus.
