Book Description
In the fifteen years since the U.S. Army Space Command (USARSPACE) was activated, soldiers from this command have pioneered innovative and revolutionary ways for employing space capabilities on behalf of the warfighter. At the time this history was sent to press, Army space soldiers were deployed worldwide in support of a variety of critical missions. Army space support units were present during combat operations in Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003, providing force enhancement, missile attack warning, and information operations support to commanders in the U.S. Central Command area of operations. Other Army space soldiers, working in both the United States and overseas, delivered the worldwide long-haul satellite communications support and other space products needed to maintain an effective military deterrent in Korea and other areas. As these examples attest, Army space soldiers are today playing an important role across the entire spectrum of operations. This history considers the establishment and subsequent evolution of the Army Space Support Team (ARSST) organization, created to provide space products and expertise to field units, thereby enhancing their intelligence and operational planning capabilities. This history focuses on the period from 1986 to 1998, when a handful of soldiers and civilians experimenting with new technologies and concepts sought to leverage the "ultimate high ground" on behalf of the land force. The history discusses the hard-won lessons learned through repeated deployments and exercises, calling attention to their illustrations and setbacks as well as to their many successes. Ultimately, it seeks to explain how those early visionaries established a foundation for the progress that the Army has achieved over the past five years, as illustrated by the importance of space in today's land combat operations, and how these early lessons continue to provide valuable insights for the Army as it transforms for the future.

Book Description
The publication chronicles the various organizations and programs that link the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command with the field army and the application of "space products" to combat since 1986. These include Global Positioning System (GPS) products that enabled field units to locate themselves accurately on the battlefield; satellites that provided warning of hostile missile (SCUD) attacks; and spaced-based mapping and communications systems that supported deployed commands.

Book Description
The Army has been involved with space-based military operations for well over a half-century. During this time, space operations have changed from a realm exclusive to scientists and engineers, to highly classified activities largely unknown to the general population, to the unveiling of space-based communication, imagery, surveillance, and environment capabilities that have become a foundation for all modern warfare. Today, such support is so ingrained into daily operations that most soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines assume it has been, and always will be, available for their use. But with such reliance comes vulnerability that potential adversaries may try to exploit. The evolution of Army space operations is well-documented in many sources, thus this monograph serves not as a comprehensive history or detailed critique of the myriad accomplishments. Rather, it serves as a primer for current and future space-based operations to provide senior policymakers, decisionmakers, military leaders, and their respective staffs, an overall appreciation for existing Army space capabilities and the challenges, opportunities, and risks associated with their use in joint operations.

Book Description
"[Seize the high ground is a] narrative history of the Army's aerospace experience from the 1950s to the present. The focus is on ballistic missile defense, from the early NIKE-HERCULES missile program through the SAFEGUARD acquisition site allowed by the 1972 ABM Treaty to the more advanced 'Star Wars' concepts studies toward the end of the century. [What is] covered is not only the technological response to the threat but the organizational and tactical development of the commands and units responsible for the defense mission"--CMH website.

Book Description
This thesis examines personnel resources for space support currently available to Division and Brigade commanders while recommending methods to provide those resources more efficiently. Current standardized space support for Divisions and Brigades exists in the Space Support Element (SSE). When first envisioned, the SSE provided organic space capabilities to the lowest practical tactical level, but as requirements evolved, the need for full time space staff at those levels has diminished. Space capabilities are currently found on the Division staff and at the brigade level, but the amount of time spent by space operations officers on space has dwindled to very low levels. Personnel with minimal training can provide the limited amount of space knowledge needed on a permanent basis. Rather than maintain organic space staff, a more effective use of those personnel would be to assign them to Army Space Support Teams (ARSST) where they would spend more time on space-related duties. This thesis provides three key recommendations to improve utilization of Army space personnel. The first is to educate leadership on how space can impact operations. The second broadens the Army Space Cadre to utilize space skilled staff officers other than FA40s and develop an enlisted space specialty. The final recommendation is to reallocate SSE personnel to enhance the ARSST model of space support.

Book Description
Space support to Land Component formations continues to evolve as the requirements for Space support change and grow. This evolution is apparent in the methods and procedures used to deliver Space support, as well as in the organizational structure that is developing and expanding to provide this support. The Army's current organizational structure for Space is largely a result of the confluence of the Global War on Terror and the effects of Army Transformation. Specifically, Army Space Support Teams and Space Support Elements have been modified in terms of both organization and function even as we work to complete the fielding of these Teams and Elements across the Modular Army. Today's structure, including both personnel and equipment, is not optimized to deliver Space support for current operations and will not be adequate in the future without additional evolution. This paper will address Land Component Space support needs, the organizations designed to deliver this support, the roles and functions of those organizations, and recommendations for optimizing the quality and effectiveness of Space support.
