be applied to the space domain. The original air domain commanded by the Air Force has evolved to include space and cyberspace domains. Space domain includes, “…precise position, navigation and timing (PNT); communications; weather data; missile warning; and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR).”1 Clearly, within the space domain lies command of communications for all military domains (land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace). In fact, vulnerabilities in the space domain could weaken

and strategic level environment, under all likely threat and weather conditions, emulating potential contingency locations world-wide, while integrating with composite, joint, and coalition partners.”XX Combining the unique benefits of live and virtual domains enhances training by increasing opportunities to train with joint and multinational partners, enabling realistic combat scenarios, and ensuring interoperability of systems. While live training exercises are limited by the number of players

Joint Planning Failures of Operation Anaconda In January 2002, intelligence began reporting on a heavy concentration of Taliban and al Qaeda forces in and around the Shahikot Valley area of Afghanistan. With the intelligence available and experience to date, the U.S. Coalition Forces began planning Operation Anaconda. The end state of U.S. officials was to drive all enemy forces out of their strongholds within the valley, allowing coalition forces to capture or kill the enemy (2003). Even though

Montgomery, “If we lose the war in the air, we lose the war and we lose it quickly.” (supremacy)[introduction] , Main Point 1: Identify and describe a deficiency in a Joint Force Capability, significant risk description, what is the risk for future joint operations?(1) #Air Superiority# Counter air operations are designed

Joint operations have certain critical functions that help utilize all the tools necessary to operate and fight jointly. Use of joint operations and joint functions is imperative at operational and strategic levels of military operations. During all joint missions, Joint Operations Planning Process (JOPP) and Joint Intelligence Planning of the Operating Environment (JIPOE) are critical. Each function within JOPP and each step within JIPOE help the commander make critical decisions. These decisions

Tactical Radio Systems: The Joint Tactical Radio Systems can be described as inexpensive radio systems that are software programmable and offer reliable, secure, data, multi-channel voice, and video communications for mobile users in the military. The tactical radio systems provide an all-inclusive, safe, and multi-channel mobile communications network ability for ground vehicles. The deliver communications networking capabilities that enable the transfer of several megabits of data per second

Introduction While a commander’s staff conducts planning at any level, whether it is strategic, operational, or tactical, the importance of identifying both theirs and the adversary’s center of gravity (COG) is a critical part of the planning process. Three factors should be carefully analyzed in order to gain a full understanding of the COG; they are critical capabilities, critical requirements and critical vulnerabilities (U.S. Office of the CJCS 11 August 2011, III-24). Although a COG can be

The NASA Space Shuttle Orbiter: Challenger - Engineering Disaster On January 28, 1986, NASA Space Shuttle Orbiter: Challenger launched from the Kennedy Space Center, only to break apart 73 seconds into its flight. Challenger carried five NASA astronauts as well as two payload specialists. Its destruction was widely recognized as one of the worst disasters in the US space programs history. The Challenger shuttle disaster wasn't a freak accident. There were many factors which resulted in the ultimate

Including Web-like data administrations, access through them to a typical climate picture, incorporation of climate data into flight deck main console unit. The arrangement for the four-dimensional airplane direction is for proportional visual operations in low permeability conditions, assigned self-partition

Operation Anaconda: Joint Planning SFC Guillermo Martinez Quintana MLC 01-018 MSG Gina R. Aceves OPERATION ANACONDA: JOINT OPERATION PLANNING ERRORS Joint Operations After the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the Twin Towers, the United States (US) declared a global war on terrorism. Afghanistan was the first battleground with Operation ENDURING FREEDOM; US forces engaged enemy combatants in effort to deter, isolate and destroy, terrorist networks. In the early stages, unified
