Rules of Engagement We Are Time Constrained (35 Days Left in the Study) Focus on Military Utility—There is NO Business Case for MSP This is NOT EELV—We Aren’t Competing for Business This is a Joint Warfighting System This is Warfighting 101--Think Like a Warfighter (Dead Targets are the Product) What’s the Threat? What Effect Can I Create in Battle? This IS a Real Coercive Spacepower System Take the Initiative to Get the Information We Need to Be Thorough Major Chris Kinnan: Cell is 719-200-3514 or Work at 719-554-5233.

Pre-Conflict GSTF Components Communications Warning Navigation Surge ISR Five Builds: Before open initiation of hostilities, space assets will have primary responsibility for laying groundwork for our forces. Build 1[Basic Chart] - Additional assets will be put in place by SOV to enhance or repair the space order of battle (SOB) Build 2[Mouse Click #1] - GPS will provide positioning information for recon special forces and location of tagged assets Build 3[Mouse Click #2] - Improved ISR capabilities (SMV Based, SBR and NTM ) will shorten the time necessary to perform Intelligence preparation of the battlefield (IPB) and determine adversary SOB Build 4[Mouse Click #3] - DSCS and commercial communications will provide critical data linkages Build 5[Mouse Click #4] - Early warning capabilities will survey the adversary for threat of preemptive attacks

BDA GSTF Components Rapid Force Reconstitution Reconstitution ISR (BDA/PBA) Full force C2 3 Builds - Following the first and successive waves of strikes, spaceborne and later airborne assets will be used in the theater to: Build 1--characterize strike success (battle damage assessment) and determine re-roll for next round strike allocations Build 2 --If and when friendly space assets are affected by adversary action, SOV will perform constellation reconstitution to ensure integrity of space capability Build 3 -- dynamically command and control forces in the field

Sustained Operations Full force C2 Strike 3 Builds Build 1- Space continues to provide persistent ISR and Strike, now enhanced by long duration UAV assets Build 2- Once a permissive environment has been established and confirmed, C2 is normalized, and both air and most space forces are controlled from the theater Build 3- other assets and forces enter operation for sustainment of force application until objectives are met. These assets can include, but are not limited to: -- Navy Carrier Battle Groups -- JSF airborne attack -- B-52 airborne attack -- Conventional land forces
