Lost in Space

<p>Space operations are important to today 's Army and will be increasingly important to the Future Force. Currently the Army has an opportunity to develop Future Force leaders to best utilize space to achieve full spectrum dominance. If the Army does not take this opportunity and develop leaders that can visualize space there could be grave consequences for the Nation and the Army as the space environment becomes more complex. There are three main documents that provide direction for space operations in the Future Force: Army Space Policy Army Space Master Plan (ASMP) and Training and Doctrine Command Pamphlet 525-3-14. ASMP outlines the overarching concepts to implement Army Space Policy and TRADOC PAM 525-3-14 details the Army 's modernization plan for space. This monograph studies the plans outlined in these documents as they relate to the doctrine training leader development organization and personnel implications for Army space requirements. It examines these concepts in order to answer the question: Is the U.S. Army developing Future Force leaders who will effectively visualize the impact of space capabilities and limitations in their battlespace? This is a four-part study that first analyzes the Army 's plan for space. Next it examines the anticipated threats to space operations and current space-based training education and doctrine. The third part of the study analyzes the Army 's concept of visualization as a function of battle command. Since the Army does not explain how to develop visualization skills in leadership or operational doctrine the monograph analyzes similar leadership doctrine concepts and examines the concept of intuition as described by Dr. Gary Klein. The final part of the study analyzes the current Army plan for space to determine if the Army 's plan will develop intuition or visualization skills in Future Force leaders which are defined as the division corps and combatant commanders of the Future Force.
