The U.S. Space Force released a new document, "Space Warfighting: A Framework for Planners," detailing its strategy for defending and, if necessary, offensively engaging enemy space systems. The document emphasizes space as a contested battleground crucial for modern military operations. It outlines offensive actions like orbital strikes and cyberattacks to disrupt adversary capabilities, while stressing responsible conduct to avoid orbital debris. This reflects a shift towards a more assertive military posture in space, driven by concerns about rival nations like China and Russia.
