This recognition is becoming an operational reality as the Army transforms its tactical forces and doctrine to meet the threat in today's contemporary operational environment. Space support of tactical operations is changing from what was essentially a liaison relationship to an embedded, doctrinally supported staff responsibility. Army Space Operations Officers are currently assigned to each Legacy corps G3. As the Army continues its transformation, these highly skilled officers will establish Space Support Elements (SSEs) in the interim division and corps. The Interim Force SSEs are a bridge to the Objective Force and the Army is capturing this presence in its emerging Army doctrine. The Combined Arms Doctrine Directorate at Fort Leavenworth is quietly and deliberately transforming Army doctrine. This new doctrine reinforces the value of Space operations by including Space and the role of the Space Operations Officer in four key doctrinal publications: Field Manual (FM) 7-15, Army Universal Task List; Army Training and Evaluation Program 100-15/71-100 Mission Training Program, Corps/Division Command Group and Staff; FM 5-0, Army Planning and Orders Production, and FM 6-0, Command and Control.Read More
