The new version of Joint Publication 3-14 explains that "offensive and defensive space operations" are supported primarily by "direct capabilities" — that is, "fires that impact an adversary."
Space Doctrine Publication 3.0, crafted by STARCOM, provides baseline definitions for offensive, defensive, and "mobility and logistics" ops.
Why edge and endpoint security can’t be an afterthought.
Global Information Dominance Experiments V through VIII seek to jolt ponderous Pentagon processes into the age of AI, big data, and the cloud, hoping to inform a future meta-network called Joint All Domain Command and Control.
"The services today are working more what I call 'service all domain command and control' — and don't blame me for the acronym, it sounds like SADC2," said Scott Stapp, CTO of Northrop Grumman Corp.
The JROC has tagged the Space Force "officially and formally as the integrator for all joint space requirements," says vice chief Gen. DT Thompson.
The JROC now will issue "strategic directives" to the services prescribing how they craft buying plans to substantiate the emerging Joint Warfighting Concept, Brig. Gen. Rob Parker, Joint Staff J6 deputy director, says.
The network transport architecture for NGC2 could be a hybrid approach that combines high assurance communications with 5G, WiFi, and multi-orbit satellites.
Pending the Deputy Secretary’s approval, the Joint All Domain Command & Control strategy could receive Secretary Austin’s okay within “weeks,” said Brig. Gen. Rob Parker.

At the moment, there are no plans to reduce the Air Force's plans to buy 1,763 F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, says acting Air Force acquisition head Darlene Costello. But...
"This is a change in the way that the JROC has historically worked," Stuart Whitehead, J6 deputy director for cyber and C4 integration says.
