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.
