On September 1, Forward Defense distinguished fellow General Kevin P. Chilton was quoted in an article in Air and Space Forces advocating for the integration of the new Space Force component, US Space Forces-Korea, into current and future joint military exercises.
The US has recognized that other countries intend to be hostile in the space domain against our capabilities, so we must both be in a position to defend and protect those capabilities and be able to hold our adversaries’ space assets at risk.

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.
