00:02.339 --> 00:04.561
Space has always been the ultimate high

00:04.561 --> 00:06.728
ground , but today it's more contested

00:06.728 --> 00:08.895
than ever . To stay ahead , the US Air

00:08.895 --> 00:11.117
Force has evolved its doctrine on joint

00:11.117 --> 00:13.006
force operational space support .

00:13.380 --> 00:15.436
Welcome to the latest updates in Air

00:15.436 --> 00:18.989
Force doctrine publication 314 . First ,

00:19.180 --> 00:21.379
the name has changed . What was once

00:21.379 --> 00:23.268
counter space is now simply space

00:23.268 --> 00:25.435
support , a shift that underscores our

00:25.435 --> 00:27.379
new role in joint space operations

00:27.500 --> 00:29.444
after the creation of the US Space

00:29.444 --> 00:31.729
Force . The doctrine now focuses on

00:31.729 --> 00:33.896
ensuring airmen understand how the Air

00:33.896 --> 00:35.785
Force's ability to suppress enemy

00:35.785 --> 00:37.785
threats to our space infrastructure

00:37.785 --> 00:39.951
helps the joint force maintain freedom

00:39.951 --> 00:42.173
of movement in the space domain . We've

00:42.173 --> 00:44.396
also restructured the doctrine refining

00:44.396 --> 00:46.562
how we integrate with and benefit from

00:46.562 --> 00:49.060
joint space operations . Chapter 2

00:49.060 --> 00:51.700
cross domain integration focuses on how

00:51.700 --> 00:53.867
the air and space forces work together

00:53.867 --> 00:55.422
through mutually supporting

00:55.422 --> 00:57.644
capabilities to achieve the Joint Force

00:57.644 --> 00:59.700
Commander's operational objectives .

00:59.700 --> 01:01.939
Terminology updates reflect evolving

01:01.939 --> 01:04.220
threats and capabilities in through and

01:04.220 --> 01:06.699
from the space domain . We've also

01:06.699 --> 01:08.532
changed focus from offensive and

01:08.532 --> 01:11.099
defensive operations to counterair and

01:11.099 --> 01:13.459
counter land operations to better align

01:13.459 --> 01:15.348
with the Air Force's war fighting

01:15.348 --> 01:17.180
functions . Finally , support

01:17.180 --> 01:19.347
capabilities are now more holistically

01:19.347 --> 01:21.624
grouped under the sustainment function ,

01:21.624 --> 01:23.347
emphasizing the air components

01:23.347 --> 01:25.347
commitment to long-term operational

01:25.347 --> 01:27.236
effectiveness . The revised space

01:27.236 --> 01:29.069
support doctrine also highlights

01:29.069 --> 01:31.124
critical US space force capabilities

01:31.124 --> 01:33.124
that air power depends on to enable

01:33.124 --> 01:34.902
joint force success , including

01:34.902 --> 01:36.847
position , navigation and timing ,

01:37.089 --> 01:39.330
satellite communications , space-based

01:39.330 --> 01:41.441
missile warning , and electromagnetic

01:41.441 --> 01:44.730
warfare . As our adversaries adapt , so

01:44.730 --> 01:46.569
must we . The Air Force remains

01:46.569 --> 01:48.736
committed to integrating air and space

01:48.736 --> 01:50.791
power to dominate the battle space ,

01:50.791 --> 01:52.513
ensuring mission success in an

01:52.513 --> 01:54.458
increasingly complex and contested

01:54.458 --> 01:57.160
space domain . The sky is no longer the

01:57.160 --> 01:59.216
limit . Air power remains one of our

01:59.216 --> 02:01.271
nation's most effective and critical

02:01.271 --> 02:03.049
capabilities for ensuring space

02:03.049 --> 02:05.309
superiority in future conflicts . Would
