On January 28, Forward Defense distinguished fellow Gen Kevin Chilton, USAF (Ret.) published an article in DefenseNews on the pressing need to equip and train the US Space Force, entitled “Empower our Space Force, just as we do for the other armed services.” In the article, Chilton argues that the Space Force can fill a critical deterrence role, matching adversarial advances and empowering warfighting and operational needs across the DoD.
We owe our guardians the same range and depth of training we provide for other domain operators.
Forward Defense leads the Atlantic Council’s US and global defense programming, developing actionable recommendations for the United States and its allies and partners to compete, innovate, and navigate the rapidly evolving character of warfare. Through its work on US defense policy and force design, the military applications of advanced technology, space security, strategic deterrence, and defense industrial revitalization, it informs the strategies, policies, and capabilities that the United States will need to deter, and, if necessary, prevail in major-power conflict.
